You should give it ago, your voice is much more hypnotic than mine, as I've said. That and me and lee have been listening to vaious piss take mp3s this evening, very enjoyable.
I have a pisstake voice. I'm crap at anything else.
Next time, try projecting your voice - it will sound far better. Also, to get rid of the noise of the PC and deaden the acoustics, try recording with a duvet over your head! (I know it sounds silly, but it works wonders if you don't have a soundproof recording area!)

Sitting in the dark with a duvet on your head saying "the time is 3 o'clock" repeatedly in a pervy voice .... sounds good!!
HAHA! (actually laughed) I think you two need another mp3 sing-a-long and banter mp3

I'd do one with lee but he refuses to talk.

I'd do it for you but for voiceovers I charge by the hour, and well, this is clearly 12 hours work.

In all seriousness, though, if I did want it done by a v/o artist, such as yourself, how much would you charge for doing something like this?

He wouldn't be able to if he has a contract with the BBC.

That is correct. Officially.
A VO will generally cost you £80-£150 for the first hour (as a rough guide), and negotiable for any subsequent hours required. There will be cheaper artists, and more expensive ones.
