PFH means that if it takes you 3 hours to get to a "finished hour" of work, 2 of those hours are going to be "on your dime." But in the world of voice acting, that's what it's going to take. The trick is understanding how the term "per finished hour" (PFH) impacts your income. Generally, beginning narrators on ACX get a lower rate - $10 to $100 per finished hour - and experienced narrators may get between $100 and $500 per finished hour. You'd have to be a real hustler to make that much on ACX, but with the average ACX job paying $300 per 'finished' hour of narration - or a piece of the action instead - I could see how it could be done. Turns out, there was some truth to that claim. So, claiming to make $100/hour means the person was talking about a $200,000 salary.

After all, there are 2080 hours in a 52-week work period, working only 40 hours per week. With my normal skepticism containing my enthusiasm, I set out to prove that claim wrong.
