Buyout or rent-a-voice

Which is best for you?

Regular (rent-a-voice) licences are temporary and come with restrictions:

• agreed areas only (cities, states, countries, continents)

• specific usage scenarios (corporate, intra/internet, broadcast radio and/or TV, elearning, audiobooks, public transit etc)

• temporary usage (a specific date range or a minimum of 3 months, typically 12 months at which point a licence extension can be agreed)

Buyout licences come with fewer restrictions and do not expire.

They're far more flexible but cost more, but may save you a fortune if you plan on using your audio for a long time.

• use on whatever platform or media you like

• wherever in the world you like

• for as long as you like

These restrictions apply to both rented and purchased audio:

• If its original use was marketing or advertising, you may continue using it in its original form for marketing and advertising purposes.

  • You may not, however, use the same audio in a brand new advertising or marketing campaign.

• Branded voiced content may be used by a single brand name or entity.

  • Branded voiced content may not be used across multiple brands unless agreed at the point of purchase.

• If a brand is re-launched under a different name, you may use elements from the existing audio.

  • If a relaunched brand is in a different sector to that of the vacated brand, you may not use the existing audio.

• Similarly, brand Imaging for broadcast or streamed radio, podcast or radio-style content delivered on any platform, can be used only on the brand for which it was comissioned (so if the imaging was comissioned for Radio GaGa, it can only be used on Radio GaGa).

  • By default, content licensed for one brand may not be used across any sub-brands, unless agreed to at the point of purchase (often for a higher fee). In the case above, the audio played on Radio GaGa cannot be played on Radio Lady GaGa or talk station GaGa Blah Blah.

Finally, whilst licensing terms cannot be downgraded, they can be re-negotiated for upgrade at any time.

Not only is Dan an award-winning voice artist; he's also an accomplished producer who's directed many of Britain's most well-known actors, which means he's also a confident and extremely competent self-director. In fact, in 2020, over 95% of Dan's self-directed audio was approved at Take 1, even when there was no creative brief, rationale or direction provided. In the words of Bauer Media creative director Kim Gallagher "His breadth of experience means he can tell what you're aiming for and delivers, hitting every note and beat".
