This page explains how to prepare a useful project inquiry and what information Moon Umlaut generally needs in order to understand a podcast production or editorial request.
1. New Project Inquiries
A useful inquiry should identify the requested service, the type of podcast or episode, the approximate amount of source material, the expected release timing, and any specific production or editorial requirement.
2. Helpful Project Details
- Approximate recording duration and number of source files.
- Number of speakers or guests.
- Whether the recording has already been completed.
- Whether editing, transcription, show notes, publishing support, or multiple services are required.
- Any known technical issues in the source audio.
- Preferred delivery timing and whether the release date is fixed.
- Any special naming, terminology, guest, or publishing information that should be considered.
3. Existing Projects
For an active project, it is helpful to identify the episode, project reference, invoice reference, or file name concerned and to describe the requested change clearly.
4. Revision Requests
Revision feedback should identify the relevant file or version and, where possible, the approximate time or section that needs attention. Consolidated feedback helps reduce conflicting instructions.
5. File Transfer
Large audio recordings should be transferred through the file-delivery method agreed for the project. Clients should avoid sending passwords, payment credentials, identification numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary website messages.
6. Service Requests Are Not Automatic Bookings
Submitting a website form or inquiry does not automatically reserve production time or create a confirmed project. Scope, price, and availability should be confirmed through the applicable project process.
7. Response Timing
Response time can vary depending on production workload, weekends, holidays, and the complexity of the request. Urgent work should be identified clearly, but expedited availability is not guaranteed.
8. Business Communications
Business communications should remain focused on the project, requested service, billing question, delivery, or other relevant operational matter. Moon Umlaut may disregard messages unrelated to legitimate business use.
