Voice Actors Activity Guidelines of Voices Bank

1. Sample Review and Approval

  • All files submitted by voice actors are first reviewed by a Bank Seda expert.

  • The result of the review (approved or not approved) will be communicated via SMS/email.

  • There is no limit on the number of submitted samples.

Reviewing samples may take up to a week or longer. If the process is delayed, follow-up is possible through the support unit.

2. Showcase Sample (Voice Display)

  • A showcase sample is a pre-determined text that the voice actor must perform exactly as published.

  • Format: MP3

  • Quality: Studio recording, mixed and edited with suitable background music.

  • No changes to the showcase text are allowed.

3. Sample Format, Size, and Duration

Audio: MP3 – Maximum 20 MB – Up to 5 minutes
Video: MP4 – Minimum 480p – Maximum 50 MB – Up to 8 minutes

4. Content Rules

  • Samples must comply with the laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

  • Including any personal information in audio, video, or cover files is prohibited.

5. Uploading Project Files

  • If there is a single file: upload only that MP3 file.

  • If there are multiple files: place all files in one folder and compress it as a ZIP file.

  • It is recommended to prepare several versions with different tones to reduce the chance of revisions.

6. Receiving and Delivering Projects

  • The voice actor must carefully review the text and project details before accepting the order.

  • In case of ambiguity, coordination with the support unit is required before setting the delivery time.

  • Recording and editing must be done in a studio with professional quality.

  • Delays in project delivery are subject to penalties.

  • The voice actor must set the exact delivery time within 30 minutes after project registration.

7. Order Review Time

  • The client has up to 60 hours for the first page and 2 hours for each additional page to review, approve, or request revisions.

  • Revision review time: 30 hours for the first page and 1 hour for each additional page.

  • If the deadlines pass without a revision request from the client, the project will be automatically approved.

8. Pricing

  • Minimum base rate: 250,000 Toman per narration page.

  • There are three pricing levels:
    1. First page
    2. Pages 2 to 10
    3. Pages above 10
    (In all cases, the first page rate + remaining pages are considered. For example, for three pages: first page counted once and pages 2–3 counted according to the second level.)

  • Rates must be reasonable and consistent with prices outside the platform.

  • Any rate changes are only possible after approval from the support unit.

9. Inquiry Orders

  • Special projects or audiobooks are offered as inquiry-based orders.

  • The voice actor submits their proposed price after reviewing order details.

  • The final amount is determined after client approval and review by the support unit.

10. Availability Status

  • If temporarily unable to accept orders, activate the “Unavailable” option in the panel.

  • Ignoring this option and failing to deliver orders on time will result in warning and penalty (equivalent to 5% of the project amount).

11. Compliance with Rules and Regulations

  • Violation of rules may result in suspension or removal of the voice actor panel.

  • Repeated violations are subject to final decision by the supervisory team.

  • Bank Seda aims to maintain order, improve quality, and ensure professional credibility of voice actors.
