Voice actor needed for zombie game

[ThomSip]

Job pays $20,-

You have to say a few things like "Flamethrower" and stuff in a kind of like unreal tournement sounding voice. PM me if interested.

Money comes after the job, if I'm not satisfied with the work I'm not paying. (I don't mean to sound harsh) Off course If I use your voice you will get paid

sent you a few things to take a gander at :)

First off, you can't have someone do the work and then decide you aren't going to pay them, regardless of how awful the job might have been, it's your job to make sure you're getting someone with the talent you require. Having someone do the voices then refusing to pay them because, "I don't like it", doesn't go over very well in court.

No, it seemed perfectly reasonable to me. He said, "Of course if I use your voices, you get paid." He doesn't have to pay you if he doesn't actually 'hire' you.

If I go into a job interview at a school, and demonstrate my skills as a teacher, and I don't get hired, the school doesn't have to pay me, or give me a severance package, or anything. It's simply, "thank you, but we're not interested." And, apart from maybe covering transportation costs, that's the end of that.

This is similar. You can send a demo of the lines he likes. But if he doesn't use them, he doesn't have to pay you. If he doesn't think your voice would fit, why would he send you a script in the first place?

Highly recommended if you're after an epic sounding voice. I haven't played unreal, but an over the top goofy voice is allIcan offer.. So I'm not even going to try =P

Not paying after a "Demo" is one thing, I'm talking about doing the work then not getting paid. The "Pay if I use your voice" thing is also a little bit of a touchy subject, he could very well have 20 different people do the lines assuming they're getting paid for it.

As an example, it's much like someone hiring a contractor to renovate your living room, they'll provide you with a portfolio of their work (I.E. Demo) free of charge. But if you have them come in and do the job, then you turn around and say, "I don't like it, I'm not paying you."
That's another story, it's that kind of malpractice that I am referring to... Hence my statement about doing yourself a favor and making sure you find someone with the talent you seek BEFORE you decide to have them do their lines. I'm pretty sure if they provided a demo, he decided to "hire them" to do the lines, then said he doesn't like the lines, so he's not paying you, the person doing the voice acting would be pretty upset seeing as they spent their time doing the work they thought they would be paid for just to have him move on to someone else instead.

See my point?
Long story short, I want to make sure he goes through the process of making sure he's getting what he wants before committing them to anything.
