Requesting in-perpetuity usage rights may feel like the “safe” option, but it can actually shrink your talent pool and limit project quality. Experienced actors often avoid contracts with overly broad usage, while those who accept may not fully understand the long-term implications. Clear, fair usage terms protect both clients and talent, and ultimately attract stronger performers. With my usage infographic, easily understand when perpetual usage makes sense, and when it’s better to set limits.

Pricing creative work doesn’t have to be confusing. I have created a clear, downloadable Rate Card and an Instant Quote Calculator to make budgeting easy for voiceover and on-camera projects. From commercials to corporate videos, you’ll see sample pricing, usage breakdowns, and add-ons. Whether you’re scoping your budget or need a fast custom estimate, these tools give you clarity, confidence, and no guesswork.

Owning mistakes is tough — but it can also build credibility and trust. In this post, I share how a small slip-up with a client review taught me the value of accountability, plus what we can learn from WeTransfer’s recent misstep. Understanding the difference between an honest mistake and a misstep can help us protect our work, our clients, and our reputation.
