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 2026-04-19, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-19, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
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 hereby authorized to act on behalf of the Principal to enforce all rights under the Maryland Wage Payment and Collection Law (Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-501 et seq.) regarding session fees, residuals, and pick-up session payments. This includes the authority to demand payment of final wages and pursue remedies for underpayment or unauthorized deductions as provided by Maryland state law.
The Agent is granted the specific power to manage usage rights, buyouts, and licensing for the Principal's recorded vocal performances. All such actions must comply with the Copyright Act of 1976. The Agent shall ensure that any grants of exclusivity do not violate Maryland non-compete limitations (Md. Code Lab. & Empl. § 3-716) where applicable and shall strictly define duration, territory, and media scope in all licensing instruments to prevent unauthorized secondary use of raw audio.
In accordance with the Maryland Personal Information Protection Act (Md. Code Ann., Com. Law § 14-3501 et seq.), the Agent shall maintain the confidentiality of the Principal's biometric voice data and personal contracts. The Agent is authorized to represent the Principal in matters involving the MD Consumer Protection Act should any client or agency engage in deceptive practices regarding the distribution of the Principal's demo reels or session recordings.

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.
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.
