Voiceover Demos Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions

Last modified: May 2024

Demo Production Service Terms

VOICE-REEL.COM is solely run by Guy Michaels.  Guy Michaels is your voiceover demos producer and single point of contact throughout the process.

By booking voice over demo production on this site, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions laid out here. If you have any questions about these terms, please raise them prior to paying the deposit and securing the recording date for your voice over demos.

 

VOICEOVER DEMOS PRODUCTION

All voice over demos at voice-reel.com are recorded and produced remotely.

These services are offered to voice actors who have use of a studio facility, whether that be a home-studio or a local professional studio.

Here is the process:

  1. Sound Check: I’ll check a short sample recording of your home studio* quality to make sure we can proceed with a remote session. *(you can use a pro studio near you as an alternative.)

  2. Consultation: We’ll go through the options and the process in a Zoom call.  I’ll be able to answer any questions you might have about recording your voice reels.

  3. Script Preparation: Working together, we’ll develop ideas for scripts that highlight your unique voice and skillset.

  4. Rehearsal: In preparation for your recording session, we’ll schedule a Zoom meeting during the preceding week to rehearse your scripts. This will help you feel comfortable and confident with the material.

  5. Record: No matter where you choose to record – your home studio or a professional facility – I’ll provide expert direction via Zoom to ensure a fun and productive session that captures your best performances.

  6. Produce: Once you’ve sent tracks to me (WeTransfer or Dropbox), I’ll get to work optimizing your recordings, editing, and producing them to real broadcast standards.

 

FREE CONSULTATION

This initial consultation in a 20-minute Zoom call is offered at no cost. Failure to attend would mean that a second consultation can be booked, but this time at a chargeable voiceover coaching rate for 60 minutes.

 

BOOKINGS

For all current pricing information, please head here: voiceover demos

Commercial, Corporate, The Double

  • Deposit of £150 (or equivalent in US dollars or euros) due on the day of booking to secure the session.
  • Balance is due and must be cleared on the day prior to the recording session.

Gaming Voiceover Demos

  • Deposit of 50% of the total fee is due on the day of booking to secure the session.
  • Balance is due and must be cleared on the day prior to the recording session.

Please note that at this time, Guy produces Commercial, Corporate and Gaming voice acting demos.  He does not produce voicereels for narration or audiobooks.

 

CANCELLATION

Commercial, Corporate, The Double

  • Deposits are non-refundable. However, as we do not take payment for the balance until the day prior to recording, should the client cancel the session with more than 48 hours’ notice (working hours Mon-Fri), there will simply be no balance due.
  • If the client wishes to cancel ‘within’ the 48-hour period, a session fee of £100 (or equivalent in US dollars or euros) will be charged, and payment will be due on the originally cancelled booking date.

Gaming Voiceover Demos

  • Deposits are non-refundable. However, as we do not take payment for the balance until the day prior to recording, should the client cancel the session there will simply be no need for the payment of the 50% balance due.
 

Real-Life Examples when cancelling voiceover demos  (applicable to Commercial, Corporate, The Double)

Unlike other producers of voice over demos, we do not charge the full fee upon late-notice cancellation.

  • Example 1: Recording session booked for Thursday at 10:00 am. Cancellation notification sent to guy@voice-reel.com on Tuesday at 2:00 pm.  This is less than the ‘working’ 48 hours, and therefore the session fee stated above will be due.
  • Example 2: Recording session booked for Thursday at 10:00 am. Cancellation notification sent to guy@voice-reel.com on Monday at 2:00 pm.  This it outside of the 48-hour working window and therefore no cancellation fee will be due.  
  • Example 3: Recording session booked for Monday at 10:00 am. Cancellation notification sent to guy@voice-reel.com on the Friday before at 2:00 pm. This is less than the ‘working’ 48 hours, and therefore the session fee stated above will be due.
 

POSTPONEMENT

  • Full balance payment is still due on or by the original date set for recording as arranged prior to postponement.
  • Please contact guy@voice-reel.com to request postponement of your recording session.
  • Voiceover demo recording sessions can be postponed a maximum of 2 times. After this, the session will be classed as cancelled. The client will be liable to pay 50% of the total voice over demo production fee, and as by this time, after 2 postponements, the session balance has been paid in full, the client will receive a 50% refund.
  • If you wish to book another recording session after having postponed a recording session twice, you will be required to make a new booking and pay a deposit.
  • Rescheduled dates must be confirmed within 48 hours of the original recording session.
 
 

PREPARATION AND REHEARSAL

The included Preparation Zoom and the included Rehearsal session are offered at no additional cost. Missed sessions will incur a £50 (or equivalent in US dollars or euros) fee to rebook.

EDITING

The voice over demos delivered following post production are the final product. Any changes (re-ordering of a compilation/voice reel, for example) or additional editing are chargeable.

The compilation track (voicereel) is an additional service that we include free of charge as part of the voice over demo package. If, for any reason, you want your compilation reordered or re-edited after its initial creation, there is a fixed fee for the service. Please contact us for more information.

SCRIPTS FOR GAMING DEMOS

Scripts remain the property of Guy Michaels, and we do not grant permission for them to be used in any way other than for the purposes of the demo produced by Guy Michaels.

AUDIOGRAMS

These are an optional add-on at a cost of £75 (or equivalent in US dollars or euros).  These can also be purchased after the completion of your voiceover demos.  Contact for details.

VOCAL HEALTH

It is solely the client’s responsibility to attend the recording session in optimum vocal health.
