Free Voice Over Artist
Service Agreement
You let a client walk away with your raw files without a signed 'Usage' limit and you’ve just signed away your voice for free forever. That’s not a mistake, it’s a slow-motion robbery of every future paycheck you’ll never see.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a strict 'Usage License' clause to lock down exactly where, when, and how long they get to play your audio before they have to cut you another check.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Voice Over Artist, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when a client asks for 'just a few more takes' after the session is over?
That's scope creep eating your profit; put a 'Revision Limit' in your agreement so they know the first one's included but the second one costs them a premium.
How do I stop an agency from using my local spot on a national campaign without paying me?
You define the 'Market Territory' in writing from day one, so if the ad moves from a local town to a national stage, the contract automatically triggers a bigger payout.
The client wants the final files today but says the check is 'in the mail.'
Never hand over the keys before the check clears; use a 'Transfer of Rights' clause that states they don't legally own a second of that audio until you've been paid in full.
