This is a sort-of repeat of an earlier post covering licensing for films but I’ll answer it again – more specifically regarding voice rights. For animation, a movie star will generally will not do “additional” voice over work outside of the film and maybe a short if it’s already planned – such as Ghostlight Mater […]
