Do Voice-Over Work

Voice-over work is an excellent way to make money fast. Since most voice-over jobs are project-based, a long-term commitment isn’t required.

Companies are always looking for new voice-over talents. Here are a few examples of how to use your voice to make good money:

• Audiobooks. Help bring a story to life by narrating various types of books, including novels, biographies, and essay collections.
• Advertisements and commercials. Ads with voice-overs are still a popular way for companies to market their products and services.
• Trailers. Movies, shows, and even events create trailers to build anticipation.
• Demonstration videos. Some companies create how-to videos and hire voice-over talents to help demo their products.
• Guides. Audio guides are used by museums, galleries, travel agencies, and tourist destinations to enhance the visitor experience.

How much you earn from voice-over projects depends on your experience, the project’s type, and the script’s length. In the United States, the average salary of voice-over artists is around $30/hour.

On the other hand, audiobook voice talents can earn up to $125/recording hour and $500/finished hour – the latter referring to a book’s reading time.

One of the easiest ways to get started is by creating a profile on Upwork and responding directly to voice-over job ads. Joining freelance websites is an excellent way to test the waters and compare available jobs.
