How to grow your payments app with voice-over artists
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Voice-over artists lend their voices to adverts, explainer videos, audiobooks, phone menus, games and training courses. Many record from a home studio and work for clients in other cities or countries, so they rarely meet the people who pay them. Jobs are often quoted up front, with a deposit for longer work such as an audiobook, and some clients pay extra for usage in adverts. A payments app that handles quotes, deposits, invoices and payments from abroad can win voice-over artists, and every business that pays them sees your app.
Talk to voice-over artists
Ask local voice-over artists:
- How do clients pay you for a job?
- Do you take a deposit for longer jobs?
- How do clients in other countries pay you?
- How long do you usually wait to be paid?
Get paid when the job is agreed
A link sent with the quote lets the client pay a deposit or the full fee before recording starts, so the artist is not chasing money after the files are sent.
Make paying from abroad simple
Many clients are in other countries. A link that takes card payments lets them pay quickly, without the artist sharing bank details or waiting on slow transfers.
Grow through creative businesses
Voice-over artists work with video makers, recording studios and podcasters. When those businesses take payments through your app, each artist can bring more of them onto it.
