MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR VOICE IN THE UK

You can make money from your voice in all sorts of ways, some are obvious, some less so. It's not necessary to be a member of Equity either. Many voice hirers go directly to the voice artist without the need for an agent. Also most voice over artists work from home, reading and recording scripts to be delivered by e mail to the agency or broadcaster who hires them.

Your voice can earn real cash in the following areas: TV & Radio commercials & adverts, promos, IVR (interactive voice recording), voicemail, phone systems, on-hold messages, business pod casts, corporate or industrial presentations, on-line learning, CD ROMs, story books, sat nav, audio instruction manuals, and web site audio content too.

Although the rewards for using your voice in commercials and voice productions can be very lucrative, the competition is tough. However there's always room for new voices to the scene and production companies are always looking for the next fresh voice over. We'll see you get the best voice over training in the UK today, with on going guidance, help and advice.
