Retainer

A billing method in which voice actors charge a client a predetermined amount to complete a predetermined amount of work on an on-going schedule. For example, a client pays a voice actor $1,000 every month to complete up to 5 hours of work. If the client has less than 5 hours of work – or even no work, the client still pays the voice actor the $1,000. If the client has more than 5 hours of work, the client will pay more.
