Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about capturing host tone, revisions, teleprompter formatting, and turnaround times.

During Phase 2 onboarding, your dedicated Project Manager analyzes transcripts and audio clips of your best episodes. We construct a customized "Host Cadence Playbook" detailing your vocabulary preferences, humor, sentence length, rhetorical style, and conversational pet phrases. We also write specifically for the human ear—using contractions, natural pauses, and conversational transitions.
Yes, absolutely. Some podcasters prefer fully written teleprompter scripts (standard for serialized narratives, history, or solo deep-dives), while co-hosts and interviewers prefer structured bullet-point roadmaps with cold-open hooks, time allocations, and specific question arcs. Your VA adapts to whatever workflow makes you feel most natural behind the mic.
We utilize industry-standard two-column radio formatting or clearly color-coded bracketed audio directions. Your script will clearly show `[SFX: Ambient rain fade in]`, `[MUSIC: Drop rhythmic stinger]`, or `[PAUSE: 2-second breath beat]`. This makes recording seamless for the host and post-production editing effortless for your audio engineer.
Your Project Manager reviews every script draft before you receive it. They perform a vocal read-aloud test to catch tongue-twisters, verify facts and pronunciation keys, and ensure timing goals are met. If you require revisions, your PM manages the adjustments immediately so your studio recording schedule stays on track.
Zero hidden fees. You pay strictly for pure writing and research hours ($6/hr on the 40 hr/week plan, or $7/hr on the 20 hr/week plan). There are no setup fees, no platform markups, no cancellation penalties, and invoices are billed simply in transparent USD.
