Working At Home Doing Voice Overs

It’s possible to earn $75 for 5 minutes work… or $200 to $300 per hour working from home doing “voice overs” for television and radio.

Here’s an article that will give you some insight into this amazing way to work from home.

If it were easy, of course, then everyone would be doing it. The secret is not just to have a good voice, but to have acting ability.

You might say another secret is to have a good agent to market your voice over skills while you actually do the work.

From the article:

“Yes, it can be very lucrative, but it’s also extremely competitive,” said Topo Swope, a talent agent who represents White and some 220 other Northwest actors. About a third of her clients do voiceover work — ranging from commercials to in-house corporate presentations to “on hold” messages played on companies’ phone lines. There’s even a budding market for voices in video games.

But breaking into the business isn’t easy. “I get calls from people all the time who say, ‘Everyone has been telling me I have a good voice,’ and they want to do voiceovers,” Swope said. “But the people who get the most work are actors, not just ‘voice talent.’ ”

Experienced actors are more likely to have believable “non-announcer-type” voices. They may be able to do a variety of characters, and since they are used to taking direction, they can often nail a performance quickly — saving the client money on studio time.
