Coaching Terms & Conditions
Voiceover Service Agreement
Please read these terms and conditions carefully before signing up for any workshops, classes, workouts, coaching, or live sessions operated by and with Jill Perry Voiceovers (“”us”, “we,’ or ‘our”). Your access to and use of these services are conditioned upon your acceptance and compliance with these terms. These terms apply to all who wish to access any of the services mentioned above. By signing up for a workshop, class, coaching session, or workout, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you disagree with any part of these terms, you do not have permission to access the services.
Potential students understand that if they wish to cancel any registration, they must do so at least three business days before the event by emailing jill@jillperryvo.com. No refunds of donations will be provided.Those donated funds may be carried over to another session date if agreed up via communication (email, text, phone call) between potential student and Jill. Students committing to coaching sessions agree to attend and pay for all sessions in their package. To receive a full refund (minus a $50 administrative fee) for coaching, cancellation notice must be provided at least seven business days before the first scheduled session via email to jill@jillperryvo.com.
Participants understand that they are committing to attend and pay for their voiceover workout or workshop. If a participant is unable to attend after donating, no refund will be issued; however, the participation date may be moved to another future scheduled workout or workshop date.
Coaching with Jill Perry Voiceovers does not guarantee future employment. Private coaching is designed to equip students with the techniques and skills necessary for the voiceover industry. Jill provides honest evaluations and information to help students determine their own career path, working within the framework of a student's unique talents, goals, and progress to plan their next professional steps.
Coaches reserve the right to postpone sessions due to unforeseen circumstances, though every effort will be made to maintain the schedule. Students may also postpone a session for similar reasons. Please note that a postponement is not a cancellation, and no refunds will be issued. Rescheduling should be finalized within 24 hours of the request to move the session.
To ensure maximum flexibility, all coaching takes place virtually, which is a standard professional practice within the voiceover industry.

Welcome to my voiceover service website. By booking a session, approving a quote, or submitting a script to be recorded, you (the "Client") agree to be bound by the following Terms & Conditions. These terms form a legally binding contract between the Client and Jill Perry (the "Talent").
1.1 Project Specifications
The Talent agrees to perform voiceover services as explicitly detailed in the agreed-upon written project quote or statement of work. Every project quote will define:
-
The exact script to be recorded.
-
The maximum word count or the agreed-upon finished audio runtime length.
-
Any text submitted by the Client that exceeds the agreed word count will require an adjustment to the final project fee before delivery.
1.2 Technical Delivery Specifications
Unless explicitly requested otherwise by the Client in writing prior to recording, all final audio files will be delivered in the following industry-standard digital format:
-
Format: Broadcast WAV file.
-
Sample Rate / Bit Depth: 48kHz / 24-bit.
-
Alternative Formats: High-quality MP3 (up to 320kbps) files can be provided upon direct request.
1.3 Audio Processing Standards
The Talent provides fully engineered and mastered audio tracks. Deliverables will be sent as RAW files.
-
Removal of mistakes, false starts, and background room noise.
-
Trimming of breaths and mouth clicks up to professional broadcast standards.
-
Note: The delivery of "cleaned" audio tracks must be requested by the Client before the recording session begins.
2.1 The "3 Ws" Licensing Framework
The final project fee includes a specific, limited license to use the recorded audio. The Client does not own the voice recording; they are purchasing a license to use it based strictly on the parameters defined below:
-
Where (Media Channel): The audio may only be broadcast on the specific media platform stated in the invoice (e.g., local radio, corporate internal training, organic social media, paid YouTube pre-roll).
-
Who (Target Audience & Market): The geographic region and target audience market are strictly limited to the areas defined in the project quote.
-
When (License Duration): The license is valid only for the time frame specified in the invoice (e.g., 12 months from the date of delivery).
2.2 Prohibition of Perpetual Advertising Rights
For all paid commercial advertising, broadcast media, and paid internet placements, the Talent explicitly denies granting rights "in perpetuity" (forever).
-
Once the agreed license duration expires, the Client must immediately cease using the audio or contact the Talent to purchase a license renewal.
-
Non-paid, organic archive placements (such as keeping a completed corporate video on an active company YouTube channel) are excluded from this expiration rule, provided the video is not put behind a paid advertisement boost.
2.3 Non-Exclusivity
All voiceover services are performed on a non-exclusive basis. The Talent reserves the right to voice projects, commercials, and materials for competing brands, industries, or products.
-
If the Client requires industry or brand exclusivity, this must be negotiated separately.
-
Exclusivity will require an additional premium "exclusivity fee" and must be outlined in a separate written addendum to this contract.
3.1 Strict Prohibition on Synthesized Voice Creation
The Client is strictly prohibited from using, or allowing any third party to use, the audio deliverables, recordings, or performance files provided under this Agreement for any Artificial Intelligence (AI) purposes. This includes, but is not limited to:
-
Training machine learning models or algorithms.
-
Creating synthetic voice models, deepfakes, or voice clones.
-
Generating text-to-speech (TTS) or speech-to-speech (STS) applications.
3.2 No Structural Modifications
The Client agrees that the audio files provided are solely for the specific project distribution outlined in Section 2. The audio may not be fragmented, modified, or digitally altered to create new spoken words, phrases, or sentences that the Talent did not originally record.
3.3 Unauthorized Use Penalties
Any unauthorized use of the Talent’s voice for AI training, synthesis, or voice cloning constitutes a material breach of this contract and severe copyright violation.
-
If unauthorized AI use is discovered, the license granted in Section 2 is automatically canceled.
-
The Client will be liable for immediate legal damages, including a voice recreation penalty fee equal to ten (10) times the original project fee, plus legal fees incurred by Talent.
4.1 Talent Performance and Technical Errors
If the Talent makes an error during recording, those corrections are free of charge. These errors include:
-
Mispronounced words or names (provided pronunciation guides were submitted before recording).
-
Missed words or skipped lines from the approved script.
-
Technical audio issues (unwanted clicks, pops, or editing errors).
-
Note: The Client must notify the Talent of any performance or technical errors within 5 (5) business days of file delivery to receive a free correction.After this time period the fees start at $150USD and are payable before delivery.
4.2 Performance Direction and Tone Adjustments
If the Client attended a live-directed session, any artistic direction approved during that session is final. If the project was not live-directed, the Client is entitled to one (1) round of minor adjustments to tone, pacing, or style, provided:
-
The request is made within fourteen (14) calendar days of file delivery.
-
The adjustments apply to the exact same script originally provided.
4.3 Script Changes and Rewrites ("Pick-Ups")
Any changes made to the text of the script after the Talent has recorded the audio are considered "Script Changes" and do not qualify as free revisions.
-
Script changes will incur a "Pick-Up Fee."
-
The Pick-Up Fee is calculated based on the number of changed words, with a minimum billing charge equal to 50% of the original project session fee.
-
If script rewrites exceed 10% of the original text, the project will be re-billed as a brand-new recording session at full price.
5.1 Invoicing and Payment Windows
The Client agrees to pay the project fee outlined in the initial invoice or quote.
-
New Clients: Payment must be made in full within 30 days of file delivery.
-
Established Clients: For clients with an approved credit history, the standard payment window is Net 30 days from the invoice issuance date.
5.2 Overdue Balances and Late Penalties
Timely payment is a condition of the licensing rights granted in Section 2. If payment is not received by the due date, the following penalties apply:
-
A late fee of 5% of the total invoice amount will be added to the balance every 30 days the payment remains overdue.
-
If an invoice remains unpaid for 60 days, the usage license for the recorded audio is automatically suspended.
-
Using the audio while a license is suspended constitutes copyright infringement and will result in legal action.
5.3 Processing Fees and Methods
Payments must be made electronically via the methods listed on the invoice (e.g., bank transfer, Credit Cards, or PayPal). The Client is responsible for covering any transaction, conversion, or wire transfer fees so that the Talent receives the exact net amount shown on the invoice.
Credit Card fees are warped into the invoice total in addition to the agreed service and usage fee.
6.1 Live Directed Session Terms
If the Client books a live directed session (via Source-Connect, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or similar platforms), the Client is paying for both the Talent's performance and studio time.
-
The live session fee applies to the scheduled time slot, regardless of whether the Client completes the script during that time. $120/60 minutes.
-
Any time required beyond the scheduled time will be billed in 30-minute increments at the Talent's standard hourly studio rate. $120/30 minutes.
6.2 Cancellation and Rescheduling Windows
The Talent reserves studio time and turns down other work to accommodate scheduled projects and live sessions. Therefore, the Client must give notice for any changes:
-
Notice Required: The Client must provide written notice to cancel or reschedule at least twenty-four (24) hours before the scheduled session start time.
-
Late Cancellation Penalty: If notice is given less than 24 hours in advance, or if the Client fails to show up within fifteen (15) minutes of the start time, the session is considered forfeited. The Client will be billed a cancellation fee equal to 100% of the scheduled studio session fee.
