What should a voice actor's receipt include?
A voice actor receipt confirms the client paid and records the work. List the recording or narration, the usage term agreed, and any session or editing time, then show the date, the total paid, and the method. Keeping the usage on the receipt protects both sides if the client later extends the campaign.
Typical line items
- Recording or narration delivered
- Usage or license term
- Session and editing time
- Pickups or retakes
- Date of payment
- Total amount paid
- Payment method used
How the work is charged
Voice actors often combine a recording fee with a usage fee based on media and length of run, or charge per finished hour for narration. A receipt restates those amounts as paid rather than quoted.
Payment terms and deposits
A receipt is issued once payment clears, which for agency and corporate work may follow net terms. Note the usage term, since a renewal usually means a fresh fee rather than reuse.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number so the receipt matches the original charge. Usage fees may be taxed like the recording work, so confirm what applies to you.
Frequently asked questions
What should a voice acting receipt include?
Include the project type, usage rights granted, licence period, territory, any buyout terms, and total received. Usage rights are just as important as the recording fee in voice work.
How should voice actors handle receipts for union vs non-union work?
Keep them separate. Union jobs have specific rate structures and residual requirements. Non-union work is more flexible. Mixing them on one receipt creates accounting headaches.
Should voice actors issue receipts for retakes or additional sessions?
Yes. If extra recording sessions are needed beyond what was agreed, issue a new receipt for the additional work. Do not amend the original receipt — it is a record of what was paid at the time.
