This is a great quote, because as a voice talent it comes down to what your client wants. The easiest way (IME) to do that is to provide two tracks: the original (which I track clean) and one with some processing (if I feel it's needed). If you have your stuff down, it doesn't add much time to the process and it gives your client the choice of sending off the clean audio (to do with as they please) or to use the processed track.

Part of the gig is that it's a service industry. Know your clients' pressure points and you'll usually be a-ok.
