Invoice clients for commercial voiceovers, audiobook narration, and character voice recordings. Get paid on time with Tidybill.
A voice actor invoice documents fees for professional voice performance services including commercial advertising, corporate narration, e-learning modules, audiobooks, animated character voices, video game voice work, and documentary narration. Voice acting is primarily invoiced on a per-project or per-script basis, with usage licences a major component of commercial voiceover pricing. A 30-second radio commercial and a 30-second TV commercial may take the same recording time but carry very different licence fees due to the different commercial value of each medium. Voice actors working across multiple projects must maintain clear invoice records linking each payment to its specific project and usage terms.

| Commercial Voiceover (TV national, 1 year) | £500 - £2,000+ | per 30 seconds |
| Corporate Narration / E-Learning | £150 - £400 | per finished minute |
| Audiobook Narration | £150 - £400 | per finished hour |

For commercial work, collect payment before releasing final audio files. Invoice the session fee and usage licence as separate line items — commercial clients expect to see a clear licence breakdown. For corporate narration and e-learning, invoice on delivery of the final audio files. For audiobook work, staged invoicing (deposit, 50% on completion, final 25% on acceptance) is appropriate for long projects. Net 14 is standard for most commercial voiceover work.
