First paying gig!!

Woo-hoo! Just booked and finished my first paying gig! The project was a narration for a manufacturing company's benefits enrollment. Not only did I provide the voice, but was also able to help write the script! What a great feeling. The company is likely to want a similar project for their new hires so there might be more work on the way.

It's truly amazing how much energy you get from having even a little teeny bit of success doing something you love!!

Thanks, Brian. Start to finish was about 3 months. That's elapsed time, not actual hours. If I had to guess number of actual hours worked, it would probably be in the area of 100-120 hours.

I had to frame the concrete walls so I could put up drywall. With all materials (studs, drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, fixtures, ceiling grid and tiles, acoustic treatments, materials/tools, etc.) the total was around $1,200 - $1,500. That doesn't include any labor (all mine!) nor does it include any of the equipment directly related to recording).

Hope this is helpful to you. Good luck with your upgrade and please let me know if there's anything you think I could help with.

Studio looks great Curt. How long did it take you? Did you build it yourself? Im looking to (hopefully) upgrade mine here soon.
