Have people told you that you have a nice voice? That you’re a good speaker in meetings, presentations, etc.?
If your answer is either ‘yes’ or ‘sort of’ and you could do with a few extra pennies, how about doing some voice-over (VO) work, reading audiobooks and other content for recording? (I’ve learned a lot about VO narration work as I wrote scripts for video and live marketing events for many years. In fact I’ve even done some VO work myself…)
Setting yourself up as a VO artiste can be inexpensive and lead to some very useful extra income
True, there is a fashion today for authors to voice their own books for the audiobooks versions and to voice their own podcasts, but not everyone has the voice to match the writing talent or the time to do it well.
So voice over artistes are brought in by recording facilities to do this, and here in the south of England can earn anything up to £200 per hour. An average short paperback book will take at least five hours to record, so do the math.
