Producer asked for a price so I told him my minimum session fee which covers up to an hour of my time ....

Dear Philip,

I guess that's a fair price for a voice actor like you.

I just need to know how much time you spent on the introduction video.

And how many words you can voice over for an hour? (just on average?)

Dear Dave,

It was one take with a little editing so no more than 5 minutes. How many words in an hour? Never had this conversation before so I simply don't know but then that's a bit like getting Shakespeare to write a longer play because Romeo is being played by an expensive actor.

Philip

So, is he going to send you additional text with enough words to fill the other 55 minutes?
