How I Work
I want us both to be glad that we worked together.
So if I may, I'd like to agree a few upfront guidelines with you.
Have a read-through below, and if there’s anything you want to query, let me know.
Then - whatever your genre, your subject-matter or your character - I’ll be delighted to breathe life into your words and enthrall your audience through to the last syllable.
Pricing Your Project
My prices reflect my experience, the quality of my work – and above all, the value my voice brings to your project.
My basis for agreeing a fair fee is also aligned with industry standard rates,
as approved by British Actors' Equity. That’s why it’s so important for me
to get a full understanding of your Brief - so let's talk through exactly what
your project involves.
Then we can chat about tone, pace, deadline, audience - and your overall budget in relation to usage and Basic Studio Fee (BSF).
After that, I'll send you confirmation, then go ahead and absolutely nail it for you!
Usage & Buyout
My usage costs follow the
Once you’ve let me know how you plan to distribute the recording,
we can work out a deal that we both find fair.
Just so's you know: when a usage fee applies, I don't usually agree to a buyout in perpetuity - but I'm always happy to talk it over.
AI Agreement
I ask clients to agree to these terms,
recommended by Actors' Equity
[The Client] agrees that they will not use any part of a LinsVoice
recording or performance for any purpose other than those outlined in
the initial Agreement with the parties. In particular, [the Client] agrees that they shall not use any part of a LinsVoice recording or performance to imitate her performance, likeness or voice, or to produce machine-generated versions of her performance, likeness or voice.
[The Client] also agrees that they shall not transfer ownership, sell or form any other types of agreement with third parties which would give them access to the personal data, recordings, performances or likeness of Lin Sagovsky or LinsVoice without her informed and express consent recorded in writing.
[The Client] acknowledges that any digital recordings or performances containing LinsVoice or Lin Sagovsky's likeness will be stored in a secure manner to prevent unauthorized access by third parties. If these files are stored in “the cloud” or equivalent facilities, [the Client] agrees to ensure that these files are appropriately encrypted or protected with equivalent appropriate means.
Retakes
You can expect me to correct any error
on my part quickly, and for free.
I check every job very carefully to make sure I’ve read the script
100% correctly and followed every aspect of your brief to perfection.
But no-one's infallible!
Retakes for other reasons - script amendments, or a new instruction about emphasis or tone, for example - do incur a further fee. How much will depend on the complexity and time involved.
That’s why it’s so important to make sure we start off with as clear and detailed a Brief as possible. So I'll be asking you lots of questions when you first get in contact!
The Lin's Voice Invoice
As a sole trader, it’s vital to me to build relationships based on trust and fairness.
Naturally, I’m always delighted to undertake work for new clients, and
because I do so in good faith, I often ask for a first-time upfront payment of 50%. For longer jobs, I may suggest we agree on interim payments following each stage of delivery.
Otherwise, I'll invoice you when the job is done and I’ve checked to make sure you’re completely happy. My invoice terms are 28 days.
