TERMS & CONDITIONS

Last updated: September 1, 2025

Welcome! By visiting this website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. Please read them carefully before using my services.

Acceptance of Terms

By using this website, booking a service, or downloading my demos, you agree to these Terms & Conditions automatically. A pop-up notice may also appear to confirm your acceptance when you first visit.

Services I Offer

I provide professional voiceover recordings across a variety of genres, including:

  • Audiobook Narration

  • Commercials

  • Corporate Narration

  • Animation

  • Video Games

Pricing varies depending on usage, project length, and whether a directed session is included. Rates start at $250 and can range up to $15,000.

  • Audiobooks: Standard rate is $300 PFH (raw audio). Professional engineering can be added for $50–$100 PFH. Payment plans are available for indie authors. A VIP experience with Spoken Realms is also available upon request.

  • Commercials: Pricing varies; please contact my agent for details.

  • Animation & Video Games: $250 per hour (directed sessions included). Sessions are limited to 2 hours max for projects that require extreme vocal efforts.

  • Consultations: I offer a free 15-minute consultation for authors considering audiobook production.

Access & Usage

  • Audiobooks, narration, animation, and video game recordings are offered in perpetuity unless otherwise agreed.

  • Commercial usage is time-limited and may require renewal.

  • Downloads (demos and resume) are for casting, producer, or client use only. They may not be used for AI training, text-to-speech, resale, or any purpose outside of project consideration.

Payments

  • I accept payments via credit card, Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer, Zelle, Novo, and Honeybook. (Non-direct payments are subject to a convenience charge ranging between 2.5%-3.5% depending on which service used.)

  • Payment plans are available for audiobooks. Some projects require 50% upfront before work begins.

  • If a client cancels after a project has started, payment for my time will still be required, but unused usage fees will be waived.

  • Late payments incur an additional 5–10% per week until resolved. Failure to pay may result in withholding of files and refusal of future work.

Refund Policy

All sales are final. I do not offer refunds once work has begun.

Prohibited Uses

You may not use my website, demos, or recordings for:

  • Illegal activity

  • AI training or text-to-speech creation

  • Copying or redistributing content without permission

  • Harassment, spam, or inappropriate communication

  • Any use beyond what was explicitly agreed in your contract or invoice

Violation of these terms may result in immediate termination of our working relationship.

Intellectual Property

All text, images, branding, demos, and recordings on this site are my intellectual property unless otherwise noted. Exceptions include:

  • Audiobook covers (property of the author/publisher)

  • Commercials or embedded video links (property of the client/brand)

You may only use downloadable samples for sharing with potential clients, casting directors, producers, or authors considering my services.

Termination of Services

I reserve the right to suspend or terminate services immediately if a client engages in harassment, non-payment, IP theft, hate speech, illegal use, or misuse of my work. Upon termination:

  • Access to my services is revoked.

  • Payments for time already spent remain due.

  • Any unauthorized use of my recordings or likeness must stop immediately.

Liability

  • I strive to provide high-quality services, but I cannot guarantee uninterrupted website access, flawless files, or outcomes beyond my control (e.g., third-party software or distribution).

  • My total liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific service in question.

  • All services are provided “as is” and at your own risk.

Legal Disputes

  • I may issue one cease-and-desist letter if my voice, likeness, or intellectual property is used outside agreed terms. Continued misuse will result in legal action, including fines (a minimum of $5,000) and additional damages.

  • All legal disputes will be governed by the laws of Columbus, Ohio, and the United States of America. This jurisdiction applies regardless of where the client is located.

  • If you are found in violation of these Terms, you agree to cover my legal fees.

Updates to Terms

These Terms & Conditions may be updated occasionally. Updates will be announced on this website, and the “Last Updated” date will always reflect the latest version.
