Invoice clients for voice-over recordings, licensing rights, and studio sessions with a professional template built for voice talent.
A voice-over artist invoice is a billing document that records fees for recording talent, studio time, script preparation, and usage licensing. Voice-over artists use invoices for corporate narration, commercials, audiobooks, e-learning modules, video games, and animation projects. The invoice captures both the talent fee for the recording session and any applicable usage or buyout fees that reflect how the content will be distributed.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |

| Corporate Narration (per finished minute) | $200 - $400 | per minute |
| Commercial Voice-Over | $300 - $1,000 | per spot |
| E-Learning Module Narration | $150 - $350 | per finished minute |
| Audiobook Narration | $150 - $400 | per finished hour |
| Broadcasting Usage License | $500 - $5,000 | per campaign |
| Script Preparation / Read-Through | $50 - $100 | per script |
| Pickups / Additional Takes | $75 - $150 | per session |
Invoice promptly after delivering the final audio files. For smaller projects (corporate narration, e-learning), a single invoice on delivery is standard. For larger projects like audiobooks or long-form series, invoice in installments tied to script completion, recording completion, and final delivery. Always separate the session/talent fee from the usage or licensing fee on the invoice, as these serve different purposes and may be negotiated separately. Specify the file format, sample rate, and delivery method. Include your turnaround time and revision policy so clients know what is included in the quoted price. Net 14 or Net 30 are standard payment terms.
