As a voiceover artist in Maryland, your business relies on managing complex intellectual property across varying session fees, usage buyouts, and pick-up session schedules. A Power of Attorney ensures that a trusted agent can manage your contracts and licensing under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law and the MD Consumer Protection Act if you are unavailable or incapacitated. This protects your royalties, demo reel rights, and prevents unauthorized raw audio distribution while you remain compliant with the Copyright Act of 1976.
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:

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. By granting specific powers over intellectual property and licensing, your attorney-in-fact can execute contracts regarding usage rights, duration, and territory, ensuring your work is not used beyond the agreed scope governed by the U.S. Copyright Act.
Absolutely. Maryland's Wage Payment and Collection Law (Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-501) dictates strictly when and how final payments must be made. Your POA should empower your agent to enforce these specific statutory timelines for your session fees and royalties.
Under the 'Powers Granted' section, you can specifically authorize or restrict your agent's ability to license your 'raw audio' or 'voice prints' for synthetic voice generation, providing a layer of protection against modern industry risks.
