to supply, a variety of professional voice-over (VO) recording services to potential clients, or voice
seekers, which hereinafter will be referred to as contractors.
Under voice talents, we include voice artists who can deliver a professional reading of scripts and can
record their voice providing industry standard audio quality.
Under contractors, we include recording studios, radio and TV stations, advertising companies, digital
agencies as well as audio and video producers.
Voice Talents
Registered voice talents will have a number of tools to promote their voicing services to contractors at
their disposal on this online trading platform. Voicing services from registered voice artists may include
the recording of commercials, e-learning courses, corporate presentations, audio books, IVR phone
messages, tutorials, GPS navigation systems, video games, radio and TV ads and presentations as well
as all kinds of narrations and character dubbings.
Ozvoxaudio.com provides voice talents three different paid membership plans (dependent on number of
demos uploaded) through which they can create a business profile (i.e. an active online voice-over shop
or trading platform addressing the voice-over needs of contractors). The registered talent should publish
professional experience, references and technical capacity (microphones, preamps, sound card,
soundproof home studio, etc.). Ozvoxaudio.com endeavours to enhance the trading platform with a
number of tools that will allow the voice talent to better sell their services to contractors.
Ozvoxaudio.com also strives to provide professional advice to the registered voice talent on how to

By registering, a voice seeker legitimizes itself as a contractor by supplying his identity, company details
and full contact information. Once registered, the voice seeker can select the talents by listening to their
online samples and reading about their references and experience. To order a voice-over service from a
selected talent, the contractor should connect with the voice talent either through a live chat, e-mail or
phone call. The contractor can then negotiate both the price and conditions of the required voicing
service, including delivery date, technical and artistic requirements as well as payment terms.
The contractor will pay the chosen talents the agreed price without intervention from Ozvoxaudio.com.
Payment for the voice-over service is done directly to full benefit of the artist. No commission or fee will
