I think one of the biggest things, for me personally, about this is that feeling of surprise, or "Um.. ok?" feeling that comes over me when I randomly see a notification that says, "so and so has extended their review time by X days." It's happened to me a couple times and with no messages or communications to me beforehand. Not that I feel entitled and "How dare you! You must inform me first before extending!", but it's really more about common/professional courtesy. If they had just asked me in a message, "Hi Charles, we ran into an issue and might need a couple days more to review. Is that cool with you?" I would be more than happy to extend their review time. Why? Because they were courteous and professional enough to ask me, and not just click the button to extend it without even letting me know what's up. I care about my clients and each and every project I do voiceovers for. I want my clients to shine for their clients, bosses, teams, companies; heck, the world! lol. I only ask for decency and communication and not a surprise in my inbox.
Maybe if there was a more fair /balanced way, something like they can hit "request X day extension for additional review" button, are required to put in an explanation of why they couldn't finish the review in the 3 days allotted, and once its sent, it comes to me to accept or decline. Thoughts?
Aaaaand ... woooosaahhhhhh. 😂
