Paid Performances On average an hour long audio book requires about four or five hours of work on the part of the actor to make it good. Consider, during the recording stage, the actors also have to deal with the director (yours truly) calling "...one more time." from the next room; this process tends to be more work than most volunteers want to put in. But, because the director (yours truly) likes the results better, in the last two years, in this fashion, we have moved largely away from working with volunteer performers to a paid performers situation. Better work is something we can all enjoy and be proud of. Help us keep this direction happening. Donate today. In the first quarter of 2008 our expenses for producing audio books ran $1,969.00 and we've received $728.00 in donations so far.
