How many demos?

Hey. Just wondering: If a client contacts you after an audition and asks for some more demos in different ways, how many do you do? This is prior to any guarantee on their part to hire you. On the one hand, I respect that they may want to hear different readings before they decide, and on the other hand, it seems hard to spend hours recording different auditions, to have them go with someone else. Or is this just what you need to expect in this business?

Thanks for any info!

I would do it, but make sure you avoid giving them a complete script, or change their company name to something generic ("XYZ Company"). They are probably legitimately looking for different reads to decide between talents, but you are right to be wary.
