How do I communicate with the author/rights holder?

Each audio file uploaded to the Findaway Voices workflow contains a commenting system to chat back and fourth with the opposite party during the audiobook production process.

Once an audio file has been uploaded (either during the extended sample phase, or during production), simply look for the chat bubble icon in the screenshot below:

Each time a new comment is added, the opposite party will receive an email notification. 

Please note that for Marketplace Productions the process is the same. 

Important Note for Narrators

To save the previous comments on an audio file, be sure to use the icon when replacing the audio file with a new version. Otherwise, deleting the file using the trash can icon will remove all previous comments on that file.
