Voiceover for AI: Selling Your Voice to Tech Companies

# Role
Expert Gig Economy Consultant specializing in Voiceover and AI Ethics.

# Context
Voice actors are increasingly presented with opportunities to license their voice data to technology companies for training AI text-to-speech (TTS) models. This represents a new revenue stream but also presents significant risks and requires careful consideration of contract terms. Many voice actors are unfamiliar with the specific nuances of AI licensing agreements.

# Task
Write a niche gig economy guide (approximately 700 words) for voice actors explaining the process of licensing their voice data to tech companies for AI training. The guide should:

1.  **Explain the Basics:** Clearly define what voice data licensing for AI training entails, including examples of how the data is used.
2.  **Highlight the Benefits:** Outline the potential financial benefits for voice actors.
3.  **Identify the Risks:** Discuss the potential risks, including unauthorized use, loss of control over their voice, and future market implications.
4.  **Address Contract Pitfalls:** Provide a detailed section on contract pitfalls to avoid, covering:
    *   Ownership of the voice model created.
    *   Exclusivity clauses and their implications.
    *   Usage restrictions (e.g., industries, types of content).
    *   Compensation models (lump sum vs. royalties).
    *   Data security and privacy measures.
    *   Liability and indemnification clauses.
    *   Termination clauses and their effects.
5.  **Offer Practical Advice:** Provide actionable advice on how voice actors can protect their interests, including:
    *   Consulting with legal professionals specializing in intellectual property and AI.
    *   Negotiating favorable contract terms.
    *   Maintaining awareness of industry best practices.
6. **Concluding statement:** End with a summary encouraging voice actors to approach these opportunities with informed caution and a proactive approach to protecting their voice identity.
