jingjingna Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 voice over recordings which they will record onto disc. How much do you think I should charge. I will be given a script which I will first translate from Thai into English and then record have the translation recorded in English. Should I charge per page or a one off fee? Any ideas?

PeaceBlondie Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 If you are translating, editing, and speaking, I wouldn't take less than 600 baht per hour in Chiang Mai, and more than that in BKK. Take a wild guess how long it will take, double your estimate, and multiply times the hourly rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 What's the context? Are you helping a friend or relative? Or have you had an unsolicited request? A friend or relative may expect a bit of nam jai so would be surprised to hear a request for payment; you may get a basket of fruit or a set of glasses as a thank you though. PB’s covered well an unsolicited approach from the TV station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jingjingna Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks for the replies. I think they have offered a fair deal, translation 100 Baht per page and 1,000 Baht for the recording which should take no longer than 30 mins.

PeaceBlondie Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Sounds great, jingjingna. But the only over-voice recording I ever did in Thailand took about five hours to correct the mistakes in the English translation, practice the text, and then get it recorded. Good luck.
