Voiceover talent is always in demand as companies need people to narrate their trailers, audio guides, commercials, audiobooks, and demonstration videos.

In addition to working with companies, voiceover artists can lend their voices to text-to-speech software. It is used to read text aloud to people who are blind, visually impaired, or have difficulty reading.

Start by searching for voiceover jobs on freelance websites like Upwork. Salary varies by experience, type of project, and length of script. The average salary for voice-over artists in the United States is $34 per hour.

Alternatively, sign up for platforms that will connect you with clients in need of voice-over talent and authors looking for audiobook publishers, such as Voices or ACX.

Here are some tips for being a successful voice on talent:

Develop flexibility as well as consistent and clear articulation by practicing sample scripts.
Invest in good sound recording hardware and software.
Be sure to record in an ideal environment with minimal background noise.

Write and Release eBooks

The growing popularity of self-publishing has made it possible for anyone to publish eBooks. This is a great option for beginners to make quick money as there are no printing or shipping costs.

To publish an eBook, submit your writing to a self-publishing platform. There are two types of publishing companies – retailers and aggregators. Retailers sell books directly to customers, while collectors distribute them to retailers at a premium.

Your income from eBooks will depend on the publishing company’s royalty policy.

For example, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing pays up to 70% royalties for books sold on the Kindle Store. Barnes & Noble Press and Apple Books for Authors offer authors 70% royalties on e-book sales regardless of platform.
