The audio is going to be used as a voice over for "How To" videos we want to create for our software.
We are looking for Females or Males - Young Adult to Middle Age.
It is a plus if these cadidates have experience with voice over for Software Applications. What I mean by this is we want the person to feel comfortable talking about techy type things without sounding like they are simply reading the words.
I'm not sure about script budget at this time.
The project will consist of 30-35 videos averaging about 4-6 minutes in length. More projects will follow immediately after and probably continue for some time.
I am open for how the audio will be recorded. On the surface - MP3 and WAVE are fine.
The audio will be delivered to my company via email (preferred).
The voice should be mature, conversational, yet instructional and professional. A blend of passion (enthusiasm) when describing how the product works with professional sounding voice in between is the best way I can describe it.
Imagine doing a presentation for something you love doing to an industry who is going to benefit greatly from your instruction. Yet - scale it back just a bit from sounding too "excited". I know that's a hard line - but I am looking for a good blend of professional, friendly, educational and fun.
That said - the voice needs to sound confident and knowledgable. Anyone can read a script. It's making the audience believe you know what you're talking about that's key.

How to Draw a Basic Area with Apex
This How to Video is designed to teach you how to draw a basic area using Apex. In future videos, we will show you how to use the more advanced features of Apex that will help you get around those special or odd circumstances. For now, let’s stick to the basics.
As with any Apex product, there are three Basic Concepts that you must learn in order to draw. Once you understand these concepts, you will find that you can apply them to every sketch you draw, no matter how complex it may be.
During this video, I primarily use the keyboard to issue commands, but you can use the mouse to accomplish many of the same results. For example, I may say press ENTER when a dialog is open. In most cases, you can accomplish the same task by clicking the OK button. As you become more familiar with Apex, you will find that there are several ways to perform the same function.
Let’s get started.
Basic Concept Number 1, Define The Area
If you want Calculations for the area or areas you intend to create, it’s important that Apex know what type of area you wish to draw. Let’s take a look at the define area dialog.
If you haven’t changed the default setting, this dialog will load every time you launch Apex. Otherwise, you may access Define Area by pressing F4, clicking on the Define Icon, or choose Define Area from the Draw Menu.
This is where you tell Apex what you want to draw. You can specify additional properties such as the level & line style. Additionally - For those special areas like atriums, stairwells, and open to below - you can also change the calculation to be negative.
For now, simply highlight the GLA area type and press ENTER.
The dialog will switch to the Name Tab giving you an opportunity to use the default name provided, or change the name to one you prefer. For the purpose of this example, let’s keep the name shown here and press ENTER to accept it.
At this point your Area is defined. Apex has closed the Define Area dialog and placed the cursor in the center of the drawing port.
Notice that the Area you’ve defined along with the name you’ve chosen is displayed in the EDDT. It also shows you the status of the current area which in this case is still open.
This brings us to Basic Concept number 2. Establish a Point of Beginning.
To establish a point of beginning, press ENTER and the Cursor will change from an Arrow to a Crosshair indicating that the “Pen is Down” and you’re ready to draw.
Basic Concept number 3, Draw the Area
As you might imagine, when drawing by hand it was always important to plan ahead by choosing the most appropriate place to start drawing on the paper. Otherwise, you might run into a situation where your drawing runs off the side of the page many times forcing you to start over again.
With Apex, you don’t need to worry about where to begin drawing. As you draw, you can keep the sketch centered by pressing C whenever necessary and the sketch will be centered in the drawing port. If you find that your sketch is too large for the current scale, you can rescale it at anytime. Be sure to watch the Rescale video to learn more about rescaling your sketches.
There are several ways to draw in Apex. However, I’ll focus on the one most commonly used. This method involves typing in a distance and specifying a direction using the arrow keys.
Our first line is 17 feet to the right. In order to do this, press 1(pause 1sec) and 7(p1) notice as you input the dimensions, they appear on the Help Tool bar in the lower left. Now press the right arrow key.
By the way, if you make a mistake while typing in your dimensions, press the backspace button to clear the entry and enter the correction.
See how the line is still blue? This means that it’s not anchored. This is done by design to give you the ability to stack dimensions and input rise and run measurements. We focus on those two drawing techniques in the Drawing Angles video. Press ENTER.
The line will darken showing it’s been anchored and the arrow cursor will attach itself to the dimension. By default, dimensions are not placed automatically. For added flexibility, dimensions can be moved, rotated, or resized before they are placed. Once you’re satisfied with the dimension, press ENTER to anchor it.
As a side note: If you prefer, Apex can be configured to automatically place the dimensions.
Let’s continue drawing the area.
Type in the following:
6 (p1) up arrow (p1) press ENTER.
The line is anchored. Press ENTER again and it will anchor the dimension.
15 (p1) right arrow (p1) press ENTER, press ENTER again.
12 (p1) down arrow (p1) ENTER, ENTER
The sketch is coming close to going off the drawing port. Press C to center the sketch. Let’s continue.
21 (p1) right arrow (p1) ENTER, ENTER
Now that you have the hang of it - Continue entering the following dimensions of the area pressing ENTER 2 times after each.
53 (p1) up
Press C to Center the Sketch.
24 (p1) left
18 (p1) down
13 (p1) left
7 (p1) up
Let’s stop here for a moment.
The Call to Point of Beginning is constantly displayed in the Tracking Port. This is helpful in verifying the last two lines of your Area. If you notice an error you can always Delete back to that line and correct it and then press Insert to redraw each line you previously deleted.
For now, let’s assume that what you have drawn is correct.
Let’s input the last dimension that brings us in alignment with the Point of Beginning by typing 16 left and pressing ENTER twice to anchor the line and dimension.
When you come to the last line, you can use the auto-close feature to automatically close the Area. For simple Areas like this auto close is really no different than typing in the last dimension. However, it can be a handy tool when faced with a wall that’s difficult to measure, yet you were able to measure everything else.
When you Press A the Area will close and you have drawn your first Area!
Congratulations!
Again, this How to video was intended to bring you through the basic concepts of drawing an area.
Let’s Review:
Basic Concept Number 1
Define The Area – Apex need to know what type of area you wish to draw.
Basic Concept Number 2
Establish a Point of Beginning – Press ENTER and the Cursor will change from the Pointer to a Crosshair, and you’re ready to draw.
Basic Concept Number 3
Draw The Area – Simply input the distance and specify a direction.
You are now ready to learn the more advanced methods of drawing with Apex.
Thank you for your time.
