Legal Document
KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent"). The Agent shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of [effective_date], subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto. The Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is expressly authorized to manage the Principal's 'usage rights' and 'buyouts' associated with vocal performances. This includes the power to extend, renew, or renegotiate terms for digital distribution, broadcast, and industrial use. All such actions must be documented in writing to satisfy the Colorado Statute of Frauds (C.R.S. § 38-10-108) and must ensure that all 'work-for-hire' or licensing designations are consistent with the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976. The Agent shall not have the power to authorize the use of the Principal's voice for AI training or synthetic voice cloning without a separate, specific addendum signed by the Principal.
In exercising authority over employment or independent contractor agreements, the Agent shall ensure compliance with the Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act (C.R.S. § 8-5-101 et seq.) regarding pay transparency in job postings and session fee negotiations. Furthermore, the Agent is prohibited from entering into any 'non-compete' or 'exclusivity' agreements on behalf of the Principal that violate C.R.S. § 8-2-113, which strictly limits the enforceability of such provisions for Colorado-based workers unless they meet specific statutory thresholds for highly compensated employees or trade secret protection.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

As a voiceover artist in Colorado, your professional life involves complex intellectual property management, from demo reel licensing to recurring usage rights and buyout negotiations. Whether you are traveling for a location session, navigating health issues, or managing an intensive production schedule, a specialized Power of Attorney ensures a trusted agent can manage your studio bookings, authorize pick-up sessions, and enforce payment under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. This document safeguards your vocal likeness and commercial interests during periods when you cannot personally oversee your career or financial affairs.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Voiceover Artist:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Usage Rights Disputes
Contracts should clearly define the scope, duration, and territory of usage rights to prevent unauthorized use and ensure compliance with agreed terms.
Non-Payment
Contracts can include clear payment terms, milestones, and late fees to protect against non-payment. Including clauses for interest on late payments is also common.
Revision Scope
Setting clear terms in contracts about the number of revisions included in the fee, and costs for additional revisions, can prevent disputes.
Exclusivity Conflicts
Exclusivity clauses should define the duration, territory, and product categories they apply to, ensuring that voiceover artists do not inadvertently breach terms.
For this power of attorney to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Copyright Act of 1976
Voiceover artists must ensure that the use of their recordings does not infringe on existing copyrights. The act governs the protection of the original work and dictates how recorded content can be used and distributed.
Enforced by U.S. Copyright Office
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Regulations
If a voiceover artist's work is used in radio or television broadcasting, it must comply with FCC regulations that govern the content and nature of broadcasts.

Yes. If specifically granted in the 'Powers Granted' section, your attorney-in-fact can execute usage rights agreements and buyout contracts. In Colorado, this must comply with the Copyright Act of 1976 and the Statute of Frauds (C.R.S. § 38-10-108), which requires transfers of intellectual property interests to be in writing and signed.
A correctly drafted POA allows your agent to communicate with talent agencies and manage commission payments. However, per C.R.S. § 8-2-113, any exclusive representation or non-compete terms handled by your agent must strictly follow Colorado’s limitations on worker mobility and trade secret protections.
Yes. To be effective and enforceable in Colorado, the document must be signed by the Principal and notarized by a Notary Public. This provides verification that protects you against fraud and ensures third parties, like studios or banks, will honor the agent's authority.
