Please PM me if you are at or near your 60s, and living in Seoul. I have a friend who is looking for some foreign "talent". Not sure if it's TV or what this time (sometimes she hooks me up with TV stuff). She said looks don't matter. I can pass along her phone number, and she can put you in touch with the people.

PM me, please!

By the way, for anyone else, I've also got some information on a voice thing. You have to be North American (it's for a handphone company, and is a one-time thing) because they need a North American accent. Any average voice is OK. They need like 300 people. They are legit.

Any adult age is fine.

What is wrong with you?

I'm 33.

Also, I did the voice recording thing already -- they need like 300 people to do it. You can only do it once for this current project. It's a company producing voice-recognition stuff. They pay well for an hours work.

Well, if you call the Mouvement Desjardins head office in Montreal and Levis during off-hours, you can hear that I already did the voice thing.
They paid well too.

Maybe the Ottawa Public library needs one Wink

FYI, RT & I just registered for the phone thing today; they are looking for USA/Canadian (neutral accent) people.

The job takes just under 1 hour and is located by Hyo-chang station on the #6 line. Great pay for an hour's work!

Let you know how it went when we get back . . .

Regards,

Glen (& Christina)

denz is cool because he stands up to the mods and gets away with it.

denz is uncool because he is from Australia.

Derrek, again, thanx for the heads up. Quick money, but can't say it was easy . . .

they are working from a makeshift sound studio, and you WILL earn that cashola.

El Vez, as for the accent, what the people working there told us that they are doing cell phone voice recognition stuff - just names and phone numbers for voice speed dialing.

Their client last time just asked for 'native English speakers,' but that their comp programs just could NOT 'mesh' around some stronger accents. Not just 'the usual suspects,' but ANYONE with a thick/heavy accent - USA/Canada included.

They wanted to talk to people on the phone, and again in person, before the actual reading.

Regards,
