What's a talent release (adult)?

In any type of media production, be it film, audio, print, or digital, there are two distinct parties: the creators and the talent. Creators need to know they have permission to use a particular voice, image, and performance, while talent needs assurance their rights as artists are not violated. Having a talent release will clarify each party's rights, and list all permitted (and prohibited) uses of the recordings.
