I have to agree with Arlene, Dina. If a client contacts me personally...by email... because he liked my demos, and he wanted info...and I sent custom audition and bid, I will follow up in about two weeks and say...

"Just following up to see if you chose your voice for XYZ project yet."

I get good response. Sometimes they chose another voice. Other tiems they say, we love you, but the client had to revise the copy...and they hire me... Or they tell me client is still deciding. Just the fact that they chose to contact you personally shows enough personal interest in you that I think it's ok to send a very short inquiry.

It's part of your marketing.
