Licensing & Usage FAQ

Understanding Voice-Over Usage Rights.

Everything you need to know about commercial licensing, broadcast buyouts, run lengths, and how usage terms are calculated on AumVoice.

Voice-over usage rights specify where, how long, and in what medium a voice artist's recorded performance can be used. The total cost can include both the recording session and the licensing rights associated with your intended usage.
Usage fees reflect how and where the recording will be used. A local or internal project may have very different usage requirements from a national advertising campaign or broadcast commercial.

Commercial Rights: Typically apply when audio is used for business, promotional, corporate, social media, or other marketing purposes.

Broadcast Rights: Apply when the recording is used on paid public broadcast or advertising channels such as television, radio, streaming advertisements, YouTube campaigns, or paid social media ads.

Internal use generally covers audio intended exclusively for company operations, such as employee onboarding, internal training, compliance content, IVR prompts, or private presentations.
Rates depend on script length, project category, and the usage rights required. Each artist sets their own pricing, and you can get an instant estimate using our rate calculator before booking.
Most artists deliver broadcast-ready WAV files alongside a compressed MP3 reference file. Exact format and specs can be confirmed directly with your artist before booking.
No. Pricing typically varies by reach and medium — a local radio spot is priced differently than a national TV campaign. Your quote reflects the specific distribution scope you select.
Yes. Full buyouts and exclusive usage terms can be arranged directly with your chosen artist — pricing for perpetual or exclusive rights is agreed upon before booking.
Funds are held securely in escrow when you book and are only released to the artist once you approve the final delivered files.
Most artists include one or more rounds of revisions in their quoted rate for minor pickups. Exact revision terms are listed on each artist's profile.
Cancellation terms depend on how much work has already been completed. Contact your artist directly, or reach AumVoice support if you need help resolving a booking.
License terms can be structured for a defined period or as a broader buyout depending on the project requirements. If your campaign continues beyond the agreed usage period, renewal terms can be discussed with the artist.
If your campaign needs to continue beyond the agreed licensing period, contact the artist or AumVoice support team to discuss renewal options and updated usage terms.
