Personal commission

Personal Inner Rehearsal

A Personal Inner Rehearsal is a one-off commissioned creative service for an individual customer. It begins with one private creative conversation by video with Derek, exploring the participant's current situation and what they want to move toward. Derek then shapes their language into an original written script and produces a custom cinematic spoken-word audio piece for personal reflection and creative practice.

What the commission includes:

  • One private creative conversation by video with Derek, with the time agreed by email
  • A private video recording of our conversation, made with your consent
  • An original written script shaped from the participant's language
  • One consolidated script revision before recording
  • A custom produced Personal Inner Rehearsal
  • Private digital delivery, simple use notes, and a brief written follow-up
  • No delivery or integration call

An inquiry does not create a paid engagement. Archalon LLC provides a written proposal before payment stating the exact fixed price in USD, scope, delivery timeline, revision terms, and refund or cancellation policy.

The first step is a short request, followed by a personal email exchange with Derek about the idea, scope, and price. The included creative conversation by video takes place after the written agreement and payment.
