Dear, Dear Client—
I have sent you some audio files as you requested.
Could you please for heaven's sake do me the small courtesy of
LETTING ME KNOW YOU GOT THEM?

Thanks—

Funny how communication can sometimes be so poor in an industry all about communication. Shocked

BTW, I hear that even the most acidic comments can be forgiven by simply including the phrase "Bless their hearts" (or "his" or "her" as appropriate) somewhere in the relevant rant. Wink

That's true Justin. I learned that little gem living in SC.

you could do a read receipt request if it was emailed.

I sent three emails today asking if the "files" were OK. Yep, I think we can all relate...

Also, Justin— if you begin an insult with "With all due respect. . . ." you can get away with murder.

Yesterday I did a last-minute pro-bono job that included the VO and mixing four pieces of music (not provided to me) and he needed it same day or, at the latest, first thing this morning. I sent it out last night. [crickets]

I suppose if it had not been received by now, I would have heard something.

I usually take the "no news is good news" approach to these situations.

This place is like magic!

Yesterday, in another thread, I was speculating about whether a demo I did would be ripped off or paid for. And this morning I got an e-mail from the "voice seeker" saying they wanted to use it so send them a bill.

Just moments ago I posted the little story about my pro-bono spot. Literally less than two minutes after posting that, I received the following e-mail from the client: "Great, really is. I appreciate it."

This happens to me constantly, DB. Even when I say "please." You're not alone!
