It seems everybody needs a second income these days. Male Voice Over Talents used in many circumstances. While it is a steep challenge hoping to make a living this way, it helps to know there are many different kinds of opportunities. These range from dramatic roles in audio books to an anonymous narration.
Recognized actors take audio acting roles because they're a relatively easy way to make extra money. The recording studio is a relaxed environment, without any need for makeup and costume. Often big stars will take roles in cartoons for the pleasure of performing for an audience of children, but even for them that extra paycheck can come in handy.
Luckily there aren't enough celebrities in Hollywood to meet the growing demand. This circumstance means there is work for anyone with the right talent. Usually, those with some experience on the stage or even just a good high-school acting class will have an advantage finding opportunities.
Acting appears in many forms. One sort would be that of the telephone salesman, mastering and delivering a scripted pitch at least forty times before lunchtime. The sales pitch can well be compared to a dramatic performance, with an audience of one. Any person capable of being an effective telemarketer likely can be effective in voice work, and might need the second income stream as well.
Not just telemarketers, but anyone making their living through any customer work, from technical support to fund raising, might find themselves with an aptitude for voice-work. Those doing this work teach themselves to note when they are truly getting their point across, always with the help of professional coaching in the office. Over time what they shape is a personality not quite the same as their own everyday self.
A deep, pleasant voice without any obvious indication of ethnicity or region probably brings the most opportunities, given the large portion of audio work that is simply the narration of written words. Far from acting out a character, those reading to record this sort of narration are almost trying to be completely anonymous. The text being read is the only "character" to be present, as though it were reading itself.
People with appealing personalities can succeed regardless of their accent. No one should be dissuaded because they sound like they came from somewhere rather than nowhere. There is need for those who can speak or at least recite languages other than English, bringing opportunities for Spanish speakers as well as speakers of Tagalog, Chinese, Polish, and several other languages.
Some can do get by doing nothing but sound recording work. These are the rare specialists, who know the ins and outs of self-promotion and network building. To earn one's livelihood from this business, one had better treat it like a business rather than just a recreation. At the end of the day, with a bit of hustle, sound recording can offer a nice boost to the household income.
