Looking for Imaging Recommendations

R

radiogirlsk

Got a question for any LPFM or community station here using affordable imaging services for their station. I'm looking for an imaging service that is the female version of Jefferey Hutchens' Radio Voice Imaging, or Demented Elf, or the UK's RPC, RLB, UK Voicer, or any of these other MVO only services offering affordable imaging. Any females out there doing the same? Looking for a female service with comparable pricing to those services mentioned. Any suggestions?
(Please don't say Fiverr. I'm totally blind, and that site hates screen reader software for some reason to the point that it will freeze the screen reader completely and totally. It would be best to work directly with the female voice/producer via email for imaging packages, though if her website is accessible, I can use an order form through that means.)
If you have any recommendations, my email is:

Thank you for any recommendations..
 
For some of my imaging, I use RadioJingles.vip

I find them very affordable, and they also do a range of things like Zingles and Power Intros.

Yes, there is better out there, but if you're on a budget, they're pretty good for the price.

Nice recommendation. Thanks for sharing.
 
I used imaging thing for our stations. It's very affordable too, I believe I paid 2$ jingle / sweeper. It's 10$ if you wish to use a real human (voice talent).

The 2$ price is for an prebuilt jingle / sweepers

I paid 6$ which was 3 jingles, one for each of our stations The Block, The Lake and The Hawk

A friend of mine was going to use radiojingles.vip last year, but the website is a little sketchy. It wants you to log in, but there's no place to create an account (it just keeps asking you to log in to an existing account, but no place to make a new one). There's no contact information to ask how to create an account or ask any questions about the process before you send money. You were able to get some stuff produced and it sounded good? I'd be interested in the process.

Yes I got some really good jingles that is interesting cuz there is a very large handful of information.
 
Thanks so much for the recommendations. *smiles*
I find imaging thing challenging to work with, as you can only use pre-determined radio slogans ("The Lake, The Hawk, Mix, Kiss" ETC.) My radio show (and it's microformats) use unusual branding. Disappointed that the human voices there seem to be a bunch of males.
Love the AI jingle maker site that was recommended here.
Was hoping, though, that someone here knew of a service with a human female who did imaging and voice -- much like the 2 dozen or so MVO services who offer affordable imaging at cheap rates. Come on... where are all the females at?

AI jingle maker has many female voices. Janet, Laura and Sarah are my three top choices

@radiogirlsk, there are actual human women voiceover talent listed on Benztown:

Also a bunch of independents, just google “female radio imaging voiceover talent”.

@radiofan2023: Yes, but have you seen Benztown's prices? Yikes! Not exactly affordable for a community radio show host.
I've been looking for affordable human female voice/producer options for a while now, and haven't found anything, which is why I'm desperately asking. The key word here is affordable.
AI is amazing -- especially with all the advances in voice technology now. But, I'm finding there are some things that the AI Jingle Maker (and AI in general) just can't do as well as a human.
If we can have people like Jeffrey Hutchens, Lee Brown, Tim Alan, Radio Jingles Direct, UK Voiceer, ETC, why not a female? Again, where are all the affordable females at?
And, yes, I've googled and googled, but haven't found the female equivalent of those options. I can't accept a barter arrangement because the show has to be non-commercial, and all the female voice/producer combos I find seem to want standard expensive rates if you don't barter -- not affordable ones.
@WDAE-FM101: I like Sarah, and just used Laura for a show this week. The AI Jingle Maker has been very helpful to me with my show. Am looking for a human to help with those things the AI Jingle Maker still can't get right. Plus, I like to use humans whenever possible.

You might ask someone else who's also involved in community radio like @Mike Stark if he knows of anyone. Also it might help to know what your definition of affordable is.

KLBP is a public all volunteer operation. We don't have jingles, but our imaging is done by our volunteers, some who are broadcast/voice over vets.

While my reply is to @radiofan2023, I'm posting this here for anyone to answer, as I am still seeking that female voiced and fully produced resource:
@radiofan2023: You asked me for my definition of affordable. As a community radio volunteer, affordable to me means providing a package of fully produced sweepers for a rate under $100.
Now, before you say "it can't be done!" there are 17 services doing it -- though they only offer male voice talent.
$99 Voiceguy:
12 fully produced sweepers $99

Air Media (Alistair)
fully produced 5 liner package 50GBP (about $67)

Audio Stream Productions (Dave Marly)
Fully Produced Complete radio station ultimate pack 80GBP (about $110)

BD Voiceovers (Briant D)
Fully produced pack of 5 sweepers $55

Demented Elf Productions (Kevin Dunn)
10 fully produced sweepers $70

Jimmy Hill:
5 Produced liners approximately $80

Kasper Creative:
5 fully produced swpeepers $75

Make Me Some Jingles (Tim Alan)
5 fully produced sweepers 50GBP (about $67)

Mercia Media (Adam)
3 fully produced liners 18GBP (about $20)

My Power Drops (GT)
5 fully produced sweepers $50

Nyk Daniels:
5 Fully produced liners $75

Radio Jingles Direct (Rob)
20 fully produced imaging spots 25GBP (approximately $34)

Radio Keys Dan:
5 fully produced sweepers $75

Radio Voice Imaging (Jeffrey Hutchens)
5 fully produced sweepers $65

RLB Media (Lee Brown)
4 fully produced imaging sweepers 10GBP (Approximately $12)

RPC Audio (Jono)
Complete station package 54GBP (approximately $73)

The UK Voicer (Scott):
5 fully produced sweepers 30GBP (Approximately $36)

Now, these are 17 male humans providing fully produced imaging services for affordable rates. While they work within my budget, I don't use male voices. So, does anyone know of a female version of these 17 which uses a human female voice? While AI is helpful, I find it hard to believe that no LPFM or part 15 is using a female voice, and that they're all using males.
If anyone knows of anyone, my email is [email protected]
