Unique Paid Proofreading Opportunity
A Note From Jonah Cummings, of We Produce Audiobooks, LLC:
Hi Sally. Thank you again for inviting me to speak to the group. I enjoyed the time and look forward to hearing future guests.
I wanted to also let you know that I am adding Audiobook Proofreaders to our database of available talent at We Produce Audiobooks, LLC.
Audiobook
Proofreaders should love reading, have excellent hearing and enjoy
finding mistakes that need to be corrected. Audiobook Proofreaders will
read a PDF manuscript on a computer screen while listening to an mp3
recording of the audiobook narration making sure that the recording
reflects the written manuscript verbatim. (Narrator mistakes) In
addition, Audiobook Proofreaders will be listening for audible sounds
that distract a listener from the story being told (i.e. loud clicks,
mouth noise, stomach rumbles, birds in the background, ambient noise,
hacking breaths etc) These are noted along with actual word mistakes on
an EXCEL spreadsheet so that the Audiobook Narrator and Audio Editor can
make corrections to the original file.
Audiobook
Proofreaders work from home and access the audio files via the
Internet. A computer with a good sound card and mp3 player capability, a
reliable internet connection to upload and download mp3 audio
files/spreadsheet documents, a decent pair of Monitor Headphones such as
SONY MDR 7506 are required.
We
pay 40 dollars per finished hour for Audiobook Proofreaders (this is
usually 2 to 1 ratio depending on each individual-meaning that it takes
two actual hours to get one "finished hour")
Should
anyone in the group be interested in becoming one our Audiobook
Proofreaders or if they know of someone who might be interested in this
type of work, please have them drop me an e-mail at jonah@weproduceaudiobooks.com or they can call the studio directly (912) 988-1434. Thank You!
Best Regards,
Jonah Cummings
