I used to watermark all of my auditions. But after considering some earlier feedback from Joe, now I'll either read only part of the copy, or will watermark only the last little bit. And I inform them in my proposal that it's a partial read, or partially watermarked. I let potentials know that they have the option of Sure Pay (voices.com) or if paying by Paypal half up front, and half when the work is done.
My auditions are dry, cause I agree with other more experienced v-o's that they're listening for the voice and I'm not a tech person...but as I'm now starting to get a little bit into music software--if they ask for some sort of musical background, I can provide something simple!
Cheers!
