It all depends on how much you want to put into recording the production. For the price of studio time you could buy your own entry-level recording setup. Then all you would have to do is burn the CD’s and print them. I’ll be happy to explain in depth how it’s done when the time is convenient.

pLease let me know how you think that I can make my first language cd. I would like to make a cd to teach spanish to children I have previous voiceover experience that I would like to put to practice.

J.S. – I won’t argue that observation. Compared to your many statements I might always be one… I thank you for your “firebrand” style… One that is welcome on my boards anytime. MM

Michael,
I believe compared to many of my statements made in forums large and small, you’re actually quite the “pussycat”.

I am a working VO professional who has taken shameless advantage of Mike Minetree. His contest a couple of years ago launched my career, although I was eliminated in the very first round. His forum has been a source of professional knowledge and networking which I have used although I am not his student. I have asked him question after question about the industry, equipment, and technique, all of which he has answered without pay. I even used his free one-hour voice evaluation, which, by the way, turned out to be about an hour and a half long. All this after I nearly paid a couple of grand to have a ‘demo expert’ evaluate my voice and make me a demo! I suspect I am not the only person who has benefited so much from the Minewurx value-added. Folks, Mike Minetree is not someone who is out to make a quick buck off newbie VO talent. This is a dedicated professional who has no qualms about sharing his experience and knowledge for the good of the industry. Thank you, Mike, for your altruism and all your help!
