Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Estimated project duration: less than 1 week
Num. of words: app.22500
Topic: Film script
Tone: Informal/Casual
Extensive research needed: no
Extra notes: I am a Danish-American writer and translator who has been asked to translate a script to British English. The dialogue contains a lot of colloquialisms and slang, and when it comes to the British version, I feel like a fish out of the water. So, what I need is for you to read through the script and make sure the dialogue does, in fact, sound British (as opposed to American).
The right guy (or girl) for the job will have a good ear for everyday speech, as well as a sense of when to hold back. Not every line should be drenched in slang.
Attached is a six-page sample. Read through it and add stickies in the PDF document where you feel you would change the wording. If I find your input useful, you'll get the job and I'll send you the full script.
