DEED FOR VOICE ACTORS

YOUR VOICE IS NOT A DATASET.

Voice work licensed for what it was booked for, and cloning blocked unless it is explicitly paid.

THE SITUATION

Voice actors are being asked to sign contracts that treat their session as training data. Some of these grants are hidden in one line. Some are explicit and priced as if a voice is a one time delivery instead of a career.

The industry standard on AI voice reuse is still forming. What survives is a clean per project record of what was licensed and what was not, so a career is not written off in a boilerplate clause.

THE RISKS

WHAT BREAKS.

01
SYNTHETIC REUSE
Clauses granting the buyer perpetual rights to generate new lines in your voice.
02
TRAINING DATA
Sessions used to train models beyond the project, with no additional fee.
03
LOCK OUTS
Broad exclusivity that stops you working in a category for years.
04
UNBOUNDED MEDIA
A radio spot licence that ends up covering television, streaming and in game use.
05
NO CONTROL OVER EDITS
Lines cut together to say something you never said, with no signed limit on editorial reuse.
HOW DEED HELPS

FOUR STEPS.

01DROP

Upload the script, the booking and the draft contract.

02EXAMINE

Deed flags synthetic reuse, training data and exclusivity in plain language.

03EXECUTE

Signed contract with clear scope, no AI training by default, and a separate rate if it is ever wanted.

04DEFEND

Monitor for synthetic voices that sound like yours and issue takedowns with a signed baseline to point at.

QUESTIONS
+Should I ever agree to voice cloning?
Only on your terms. Deed treats cloning as a separate licence with its own rate, term and revocation clause.
+What if my voice is already cloned somewhere?
Drop the URL. Deed builds the case, sends the demand and offers the user a licence or a takedown.
+How do I keep control after delivery?
The contract sets the boundary. Deed's default limits editorial reuse and requires approval for anything outside the booked project.
