Make Money as a Voiceover Talent on Voice123

Have you been told that you have an excellent speaking voice?  Have you ever considered doing voiceovers – but you did not know how to get started in the industry?  The way things used to be, you would have to have a voiceover agent and you would have to go to a studio to produce high quality recordings.  With websites like Voice123.com – things have changed greatly.  You can now record auditions in your own home and simply upload them on your computer and submit them directly to the client.  There are many voiceover artists who are making a full time living from doing voiceovers at home.

To get started, you will need to create a home “sound booth” – otherwise known as a closet!   That’s right!  A simple closet full of clothes can serve as an excellent sound booth.  Make sure that there are no sounds going on in your home.  No fans, crying babies, air conditioning units, etc.  It’s a good idea to tuck a blanket under the crack in your closet door to remove any oustide noise.  You can bring your computer in the closet with you and record your auditions.  You will have to make sure that the fan on your computer is not too loud.  You will need a microphone that produces crisp, clear sound – a USB condensor mic is a great option and you can get one for about $50 on ebay.  You will also need some software to record on, make sure that it produces mp3 files.  Audacity is a great program to use and you can download it for free.


Voice123 does charge a yearly fee, but one voiceover booking alone will pay for this fee.  They do offer a free 30 day trial, so that you can submit to various auditions.  This is a great way to see if you have what it takes to make it in the voiceover marketplace.  Take some time and go through some of the other talent’s demo reels, this way you can see what you are up against.  You will notice that there is some really top notch competition out there.  If any of you are making some decent money on Voice123 – I’d love to hear your success stories.  Some voice talent are unhappy with these type of online voice casting websites, since they tend to bring down the overall pay scale for voice talent – but they do give you access to hundreds of auditions that you might not be privvy to had they not existed.  Overall, if you can cut it as a voiceover talent – it is a great way to make money online!
