The Podcast Voice Guy uses Skype
Joe Klein does voice overs for vlogs and podcasts. He sounds like God, if your God has a sense of humor. Business problem: he'd get a script, record it in his home studio in Laughlin, Nevada, ship off the mp3 and the invoice. Then clients would ask for a second take, for free, something Joe usually charges for. Joe, already into his next gig, would face irritated clients.
Skype was his solution. He'd bring the client right into his recording studio, piping his high end recording into Skype. The client would hear Joe's takes and, when they were satisfied, approve the reading on the spot. The sessions run a little longer but the clients are getting exactly what they expect, Joe doesn't spread one small fee over two or three studio sessions, and the clients are bringing repeat business. The clients get to be the session director, the person in the glass booth guiding Joe's inflection and interpretation. That sense of control, and the high fidelity, leave them very happy. And builds Joe's bottom line.
