Rates are negotiable, depending on the length of the job. Using the latest update of Adobe Audition CC, I edit based on the spirit of your podcast, from both listening, and discussing directly with you. The goal of each project is to make you sound your best, and have the listener focus on what you are saying. Removing ums, ahs, and overly long pauses is easy. Breath, mouth, and background noises takes more time, but can be done. Breaths can be removed, or softened to keep your flow sounding natural.
