Can Cash in on Your Voice And Here’s How…
There is a market for everything and for those gifted with rich, resonating voices, careers in radio broadcast,
and news reporting can monetize their voice! Talented voice over artists have many possible venues
for finding work, from short term gigs like those done on Fiverr, to longer projects like work offered on
Elance, Guru and Odesk. Here’s a little breakdown of the type of work your dreamy, dulcet tones could
land.
www.fiverr.com – These micro-job sites allow sellers to offer small
jobs for $5. Can you do a great impersonation of Borak, sing
happy birthday like Sinatra, or do a perfect Charlie Brown
voice? What about voice-over work for a commercial,
promotion, etc. Offer a short project and earn a little extra
cash. Of course when you grab a client here they can become
a long term client for other jobs. Here a great example:

www.elance.com – a site where employers look for
people to fill their micro-job needs, like a
reverse from Fiverr, the employers draft the job
and list the budget for the job, and potential
candidates bid on the opening.

www.Odesk.com – Odesk is a popular site, similar to elance.com and guru.com, but where most providers
perform their services at an hourly rate. This is another great site to have yourself available as voice
talent!

Check with local advertising agencies and radio stations– often times these businesses are in need of fresh
voices to use in their advertising, the more vocal variety these agencies have to promote, the greater
their client list is. More variety always attracts more business.
Smart Supply and MessageBroadcast – hire vocal actors to do voice-over work, they are voice marketing
companies, so their focus is on voice-over, often for Fortune 500 companies.
Contact publishing houses – many books are available in audio format and they need people with the right
timbre to record their books. If you are bi-lingual, there is a huge demand for audio books in Spanish.
Recording studios – they often are contacted by marketing companies for demos of voice over artists, this is a
quick way marketers can vet the good from the bad and keep their search for the right voice quick and
affordable.
There are many opportunities to use your voice to make a living. The more versatile you are, the more work
you’ll be able to get, so see if you are able to do a realistic accent or if you can develop a certain tone.
Always know that the voice may get you there, but practice on delivery. Many advertising spots have a
certain number of seconds for a message to be delivered – make sure you can hit the timing mark clearly
and effortlessly.
