Sidebar: Distance Approval

If you work from home, you may not want the client coming over to approve a voiceover. It's fair to assume your bedroom edit suite and closet vocal booth won't serve to impress. As an alternative, make an MP3 of the recording and e-mail it to the client for approval. If you're using lower bitrates, make sure the clients understand that the finished version is much higher quality. This allows them to preview and approve in their environment of choice - even pass it around the office for comments. They can reference changes to the media player timer and the script and forward them to you via e-mail.
