Ever ask this? Ever wonder? Check out this video for a couple of really great (and non intrusive) ways to follow up with your existing clients.

My MacBook Pro died at VO Atlanta. Roughly five minutes before I was to present my marketing session.
My MacBook Pro did not recover.
Here’s what I learned.
Usage has always been a hot topic in voice over and with the exponential growth of online video, it’s something we, as voice actors, need to pay even closer attention to. You don’t want to agree to a web video and one day find it’s been turned into a national broadcast commercial!
How do you protect yourself? Check out this weeks tip.
The term “retakes” is often used to describe any adjustment and/or correction to a voice over after the final recording has taken place. This isn’t accurate.
There’s a difference between retakes and revisions and you need to have a policy that covers both. This policy needs to be clearly communicated to your clients each time you book a job.
We live in a smartphone, social media, 14o characters, push notification, instant gratification society. The always connected generation.
In other words, we want what we want… now. Unless we can get it sooner. Then we’ll take it sooner.
What does this mean for your voice over business? It means you better be prepared to meet (or exceed) client expectations when it comes to turnaround. It can mean the difference between booking the project or not.
