Do Your Voiceover Clients Know What Your Time Is?
Sometimes the random voiceover business thoughts that shoot through my brain are actually pretty good ones.
This week, for example, out of nowhere came the memory that I had seen a few voiceover talents who have actually put their local city time on their websites.
The concept being that voice talents, like me, work with ad agencies, video production and recording studios all around the globe. We need to communicate our time zones with the studios so producers can coordinate recording schedules faster and more efficiently.
So the question was posed (at first in my head) about if and where to publicly share post a voice actor’s local time zone.
I wanted to solicit opinions from my respected voiceover friends (as opposed to my DISrespected voiceover friends – who are often times more fun to hang out with…for that very reason) as to their thoughts on posting one’s local time – if they did it or not and why they did it or not.
Off to the private Friends of FaffCon Facebook page I went. Many voice actors smarter than me reside there.
While many noted they posted it somewhere on their voiceover website (not always on the front page), the idea that had eluded me was to include my local time zone in my email signature. Many folks included that idea in their response to my query and I thought it was wonderfully simple and effective.
I either have very smart voiceover friends or I am just dumber than an ox.
Either way, as you can see from my now revised email signature above, now my clients know what MY time is.
