If you aren't already using SoundSlides, it's a great option.<br />Since you're sending emails, captions should be displayed with the images on your website.<br />As a general rule, always embed captions in the Mark M.

A lot of the positions ask to email your cv, cover letter, portfolio, and cutlines to them. Would you suggest sending them a pdf slideshow as well as a link to my website?
