It all depends on how long it takes you to complete a certain job and how much you will have to pay to the studio. I hope this helps. ▲ Collapse

Thank you so much for your response. It really helps. Yes I intend to use external studio because I don't have any resources on my own. Please how do I purchased a recording for my voice-over job in the future? I will have to include the studio fee. Thank you very much.
