Membership Levels:

Professional Level: To qualify at the Professional level, please list in your application at least 5 distinct clients in the previous 13 months where the rate paid was at or near standard professional rates for the type of work. The Membership Committee will assess the information provided. 

You may use the SAG-AFTRA rate sheet, GVAA rate sheet, or other industry resources for guidance on professional rates. We do not accept low-rate work (which includes royalty-share for audiobooks) when considering the application for Professional level membership.

Associate Level: If you have not completed 5 jobs for distinct clients in the previous 13 months as described above, you will automatically be welcomed as an Associate Member. You can then work toward achieving those prerequisites, and then apply to be upgraded to Professional status once you achieve them. Email membership@world-voices.org when you are ready to updade to Professional level!

Industry Partners:  This level includes members of the voiceover industry who are not voice actors but who provide ancillary or support services to voice actors.
