FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My regular rate is $125 for an hour. Your first hour is always free if you want to set up recurring appointments. When I take on a new client, for just one session or recurring, we'll do a needs assessment and discover how current situations affect ability to pay. There are always %10 off for SAG-AFTRA members.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I listen to what you want to accomplish. Some clients just want to have an introduction to the Voice Over world and figure out what they might be best at, others want to learn breath support and control for full volume shouting, battle chatter, call outs and death screams (or just speaking all day). Wherever you are, I create a comfortable environment for you to safely explore your vocal dynamic range.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Paul Mercier (Ace Combat, Call of Duty, Resident Evil) has made his career in Indoor and Outdoor Theaters, Sound Stages for ADR & Looping, as well as in Commercial Voice Over, On Air Promo, Broadcast Narration and Video Games since they were 8-bit cartridges. Before that he trained for the stage at Adelphi University in New York and continued training in London with the legends of Voice & Speech at Royal Shakespeare Co. & National Theatre of Great Britain: Cicely Berry ( Voice & the Actor ) and Patsy Rodenberg ( Need For Words ). Paul combines more than 30 years experience as a working Voice Actor and a Teaching Artist to give you the vocal skills you need to succeed with the power and stamina producers expect.
