What are voiceover jobs?

The voice work, or “dubbing” as it is sometimes called, is pretty self-explanatory. Most of the time, it’s when you hear someone’s voice narrating a commercial, audiobook, movie or TV show, video game, or even a live event from a script.

In a nutshell, you get paid to lend your voice to a project that needs it.

Although it’s often done outside of the home, it’s not that difficult to find voiceover work that you can do from home.

How much do voiceover jobs pay?

According to Payscale.comthe average range for voiceovers is around $45 per hour. That said, what you earn will vary wildly depending on the company you work for, your experience, and other factors.

For example, some voiceover artists can earn over $200 per hour! Then there are other people who do more of this gig work and earn much less.

It goes without saying, but you’d obviously earn a lot more lending your voice to a commercial or television project than you would by selling voice talent on a site like Cinqrr.

There is certainly potential in the voiceover industry to earn a part-time or even full-time income. Voiceover work can make you a lot of money if you keep at it!

Are voice actors in demand?

There is always a demand for voice actors. Voice work is constantly needed for audiobook narrators, commercial and radio commercials, cartoons, podcasts, video games, and more.

That said, there are also a lot of people scouring the internet, trying to find work in the voiceover industry – especially since Covid. So even though voice actors are in demand, there is strong competition for available jobs.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t succeed!

What qualifications do you need to become a voice actor?

If you have a nice voice, that’s a start! Beyond that, you need to realize that self-employment of any kind is a constant task, especially in the beginning. You will have to be ready for this.

Some people hiring you for voiceover work may require that you have professional training and/or significant experience, while others won’t be as selective.

It takes a certain amount of patience and consistency to apply for jobs and find clients, as well as a “don’t give up” attitude that you’ll need to have real long-term success here. It also takes a little creativity.

If you’ve ever tried to get started as a freelancer in any field, you already know that a steady supply of clients/jobs is important to ensure that you can continue to pay your bills. Voiceover work will be no different in this regard.

What equipment do voiceover artists need?

If you do voiceover work from home, you will need to invest money in some equipment. You won’t necessarily need a professional studio at first, but it’s better to have something.

At the bare minimum, you should have:

• High quality microphone
• Pop filter
• Audio interface to connect your microphone to your computer
• High quality headphones
• Recording and editing software
• An ideal space in your home with good acoustics for recording

All of the home studio equipment listed above can be easily found on Amazon.

Brain Sauce has a more comprehensive list here that you may want to re-read. But the items listed above may be enough to get you started.

Later, after earning some income, you may be able to invest in better equipment.

How to get a voiceover job without experience?

If you’re looking for voiceover work with no experience, you’re not completely lost. However, it seems that the majority of companies looking for voice actors prefer experienced professionals.

Some places where it is possible to do voice work without any experience include CinqrrUpwork and Voices.com.
