What's your top tip for clients?

"My top tip is to consider pre-recording your event announcements. It guarantees consistent speech and allows for multiple takes. Recording at a professional studio will result in a high-quality product. Another aspect to think about when recording speech is to make sure your speaker is well rested and well hydrated. Having them avoid dairy before they record will also guarantee the best performance and will lessen the amount of time the audio engineer will need to edit the recording."
