question:  What happens if I get sick before a voice over session?

answer:

Don't get sick.  Okay, so it's not that simple. You must realize that canceling a session puts the engineer, copywriter, creative director, casting professional, producer, and of course the client, at a big stumbling block. The show can't go on without you!

At this point, let me define sick. In the voice-over field, sick is not a stomach ache. Nor is it a headache. Its not even a broken foot. It is a sore throat, loss of a voice, an ailment causing a voice change, or any sickness resulting in an inability to read correctly.

So, what do you do if you're sick? Call the producer immediately - because it is significantly worse to have everyone meet at the recording studio only to find that your voice is not recordable. If you feel a sickness coming on, call the producer immediately - alert them to the fact that you may be sick the day of the recording, and let them decide what to do.

Good luck!
