Thank you to EVERYone for their replies. And Wow, that’s just nuts, it’s not only a lot of money, but it doesn’t sound conducive to learning, at all!
I read on the Apple website that you can take the exam online for $25. I am a member of Lynda.com, I have watched Shane’s free vids, but should purchase, and I do have the Apple book along with 2 others. I like the idea of getting the cert, but just level one, won’t pay any more than the books and the $25 exam fee.
Thanks again! And I do kinda wish I was goin to Las Vegas, but mostly just to gamble and party, lol, and maybe shop a bit too.

Hi Leo, just wanted to thank you for your advice. I think I might rent for this particular shoot, and then learn more about what exactly I need in the long run! 🙂

Thank you Mark! Once again, some great advice. Right now we are waiting on the decision on the voice, that needs to be decided upon before they can “seal the deal”. No talk of lowering prices, which is good, so it’d be $700. I’m already considering rebuilding slides, and I know it’ll be lots more work for me, but I’d rather put out a good product, than just get it done, to get it done. I’m new, and I believe this is how it has to be. 🙂

When I looked into using Camtasia, I found it wasn’t for Macs?
And I agree, being older is just fine.

Thanks Steve, you make a lot great points! And you’re right, they are already being picky and needy. Still no definite answer on the job, but they wanted another voice sample from me, because they’re not overly happy with my voice. They claim I sound “too sexy”. lol The video is to sell theatre seating.
And Tempe? I love tempe! Nice place, with a few yummy breweries. I was just there in September. 🙂

Wow, that’s one impressive breakdown. Now *this* is what I was needing, and while yes, I don’t believe I’d rate myself at $90, nonetheless, it’s a formula that I’m needing!
Today after I gave my quote, one of them asked me how I came up with my figure, yikes. I told her simply based upon the hours involved, but had I been smart, I coulda rattled off a list like that, and made her head spin.
I’m starting to realize a little bit of intimidation plays a major role here, in landing these jobs! 🙂

Hey Randall. Here’s a link to some of my demos, voice included. You tell me. Like I said, I’m new to this. https://www.kozamediaarts.com/videos.htm
Also, I had asked what their budget was, and they said they didn’t have one, but that the “boss” only wanted to spend a few hundred. I then asked if they got any quotes, and they said only for the voice work, and that was $300 (from a local radio jock, but that of course was just an audio file, no placement). Having said that, and knowing such, I really don’t believe my price is horrible, at all, but……BUT, I would’ve easily done it for $500 because it would’ve taken me very little time, and I’ve got lots of new equipment to pay off! 🙂

Hi Dave, thanks for your response. The 2 individuals that I met with today claimed from the get go that their “boss” was in a big meeting, and how they wished he could’ve joined us, and that the financial decision was his. So, I pretty much knew I’d have to wait. As far as your suggestion, a girl friend of mine today, one who is in sales, suggested that very same approach! I think I like it, and I guess I’ll use it if I find I’ve been passed on. I’m guessing I can call in a day or two and ask of their decision, right?
Thanks.

Hi Steve, I’m workin on a Mac Book Pro. The client is on windows. I do have the files already believe it or not, because during the meeting we loaded them into my laptop. There’s 26 slides, no bullets, and actually just one animation. I see 4 slides where pics are missing, even though they’re there, and I do see some slipped text, no where it should be. So yes, I’m guessing PP will be problematic. But lets say I charge $50 an hour, in all honesty, I can’t see a project like this actually taking 20 hours to complete. But then again, who knows. I find it hard to figure such out.
