tee_hi Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I know gigs pertaining to visual/print mediums - logos, postcards, brochures, etc. - automatically include a watermark to keep buyers from cancelling sales and running off with the work, but is there anything in place for those of us who provide audio files? Does Fiverr implement something on such files? Or is it an option for US to add something - a low hum or a whispered “Fiverr” every few seconds - on our own? Do any of YOU do anything to keep your files safe before your orders are “Complete”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslavglavic Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 you mean like audio samples on your fiverr porfolio for each gig? I haven’t heard anything from the audio gigs I purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tee_hi Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 you mean like audio samples on your fiverr porfolio for each gig? I haven’t heard anything from the audio gigs I purchased.I mean, like, all of my gigs are vocalizations - singing background, doing voiceovers, doing audiobooks, etc. - and I just wondered if any failsafes were in place for OUR work, pre-Completion.And if not, I wonder if it would be acceptable to add a track of me whispering “Fiverr” every 5 seconds or so, so a buyer could NOT run off with unpaid work. Such a thing would be easily removable upon order Completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelnorth Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Not really sure what you mean. Why would there be a watermark of any sort on a “delivered” file?Once you click deliver you’re delivering the final work, and Fiverr has the money in escrow.The only time I could see this being necessary is sending a sample over messages without an active order. Then you could add some low-level white noise under the voice if you choose, or a whisper as you said. In the rare case I do a sample, I never do a full read of the script or provide a full length version, so there’s not really anything for them to steal.I don’t watermark my audio and I’ve never had an issue… Fiverr would not be happy about somebody cancelling an order and stealing the audio after the seller delivered, so I’m sure they would step in and do something about it.

I watched a video once where there was an audio track with something similar every fifteen seconds. Seems that person gave zero clucks. 🐔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tee_hi Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks for that, joelnorth. I’m just remembering that when I ordered a logo, the designs provided had a light “Fiverr” image and it was noted that that would be removed when I accepted the order. So I just wondered if there was anything like that for vocal orders.Here’s an example on a logo I downloaded after the order was delivered, but before it was completed.

mjakkerman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I think some VOA’s have a beep every once in a while. That’s less disturbing than someone whispering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslavglavic Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I seen some youtube intro gigs that if you hear properly, you will heard AUDIO JUNGLE being whispered.Yes I know this example is video and you asked audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
