Here is a fantastic way to help you with timing your script.

As a voice seeker, you have many, many challenges to contend with. Budgets, deadlines, fussy clients, and an endless stream of voicemails, emails, and messages to name a few. One challenge in particular is making sure the amount of text in the script matches the desired length of the project you’re working on. Sure there are formulas, but who wants to do math? Now there is a better way!

My friend and fellow fabulous voice talent Kelley Buttrick has produced a brand new app that will make timing your script faster and easier!

Here is the link to the Google App Store

To quote the app store blurb:

Time Your Script gives you estimates for the amount of time your script will take to read! Have the script or know the word count? Use Time Your Script to get estimates for the length of your script. Features: – Input your script or a word count – Get estimates for slow pace, normal pace, and fast pace reads – Connect with Kelley Buttrick and have your script auditioned!

TIP OF THE WEEK

I highly recommend this app for timing your script AND Kelley Buttrick as a voice talent!
