Sell Your Voice for YouTube Videos and Earn Money | How I Became a Voice Over Artist

- Опубліковано 26 жов 2022
- Learn how to sell your voice and earn money as a voice over artist recording your voice for UA-cam videos. I'll teach you how I became a voice over artist with NO experience around 4 years ago. I bought a microphone, turned my closet into a sound booth, and recorded a small demo reel that I edited in Audacity (a free audio editing program).
I then found and applied to many small voice jobs and submitted my demo reel. I also did custom samples if a script was provided so they would know exactly the type of voice they would get if they hired me. Slowly, I built up my reputation and became top-rated with a 100% success rating. Learn more about becoming a voice over artist with no experience by watching my video!

Thank you so much, Jennifer. I so much love the simplicity in your explanations. Sending hugs.
Thanks for this video. I am a radio guy in my former life, and looking to get back into the groove of things. I never even thought about youtube gigs. Awesome stuff!
Thank you again. I was searching for the previously asked question. BUT I forgot to THANK you. In watching your video. You taught me in a few seconds a helpful Tip in editing. OMG thank you thank you thank you. I will definitely watch your full editing video now
This was great, thanks for sharing your experience I really found it helpful
Jennifer, you're awesome! I love your videos, they are precise and to the point. I wish there could be more youtubers like you. I don't know why you're getting so less views while there are youtubers cashing up on click baited videos with so much fan following. Wishing you the best of luck for your future videos! Supporting you all the way from Pakistan...
Wow, thank you for explaining things in very simple terms
Very informative - many thanks !
I am very interested in seeing more videos on how to get started in voiceover as a beginner! I've watched a ton of videos already but I'm not as familiar with Upwork as I am with Fiverr so I feel really intimidated by even applying to Upwork while having no experience in voiceover. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos like this 😊
thank you Jennifer you are the only freelancer and youtuber that really fit with my preferences
Wow! That's some impressive earnings. Way to go 👏
Your videos are always useful to me
👏🏽👏🏽 thank you
Thank you for sharing, its so amazing to earn with voice
Great Video Jennifer! I am the voice of The Official Travel Guide Channel and have my own online courses. I found yours extremely informative and very well made! You made a fan and subscriber today! Hope you're having a wonderful day.
Thanks Jenny please make more videos on this esp the audio editing videos
Awsome. Thanks
i was just looking forward to voice overs on upwork your video helped me to learn and understand how to find work on upwork thank u so much jennifer😊
You're so welcome 🤗
Great video! Which rode nt1 generation is the one that you use? The link shows 2 options!
Nice mam appreciate that..❤
Just gone through 4 of your Upwork videos, and it's been a gem. Subscribed! After retiring, I'm joining as a VO talent as well. Something I keep getting told is that I HAVE to have a pro demo before I can do this. I haven't got a pro demo yet. I've also been told, by well-established VO talent, that the YT voiceovers on Upwork are many times a scam. Has your opinion and your take on these 2 issues changed in 2023? I know, you're not doing those types of jobs, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks for all that you do. 👍
Hi i am from India and regularly watching your video
Love you
Thank you so much 😀
tysm for this video!! i am looking to get started in this industry and all of this information is very helpful sub'd n lov'd! ♥
Could you please show us the demo when you record your voiceover?
What good tips Jennifer!! This one is definitely going on my saved list of moneymaking ideas.
The Yeti does seem like the minimum standard, doesn't it??
So *what kind of texts do you advise one to record for demos* ?
Thank you! Yes, any of the Blue microphones are great for starters. Blue snowball, blue yeti, yeti nano, etc. As for scripts, try to find a demo script related to the voice job you are applying to. You can find a bunch of demo scripts online by Googling "voice over demo scripts " plus the niche (narration, corporate, UA-cam" etc. Or just find an article online and record yourself reading it in the style that appeals to the job role. For UA-cam, it's usually quick-paced, excited, and energetic.
I love you 😙❤️
Hi, Love your Video , Thank you so much, Just one Question, Did you started with an interface ? (or the Mic and Audacity do the work for a begginner?) I’ve seen many videos that said an interface is needed. Would appreciate your feedback.
Hello! No, I didn't. When I started out, I just had a USB Yeti microphone that I plugged into my laptop. As long as your audio sounds good, it doesn't matter if you use an interface or not when you are starting out. That is something you can upgrade to later on. :)
@@JenniferMarieVO thank you so Much, you are a huge huge Help !! i send you a Big Hug from Bremen : ) Thanks!
I'm your New Subscriber
Thank you so much, Jen.
How long did it take you to make the almost 90K from the time you started, and how many work hours does all that represent? I'm trying to get a sense of the effort that went into it to get your results, and I know it'll be different for everyone, but at least it's a data point. Thanks in advance for sharing.
hi what do you suggest this year? 2024 which apps, tools.
Jennifer, could you please let me know any other website where I can work as a Voice over in English language? I don't like upwork at all because of my bad experience on it.
Hey what if you have 0 exp?... i dont have vocal training i didn't go to school for it and never worked in the voiceover industry. I dont even think my voice is unique... sounding howver i know its still possible . Can i still do this do i have a shot?
Jennifer, the thing I don't like about upwork is that my account got banned since I sent too many proposals. They have some idiotic criteria, if someone sends too many proposals they will terminate them. I sent 30 proposals in 30 days and got 5-7 jobs out of it because of sheer competition and they banned me for that.
That happened to me when I was a copywriter. Though in their defense I got 1 job out of all my proposals.
Wow, Jennifer, great video! I discovered your channel this morning and definitely subscribed. Several years ago, I went down the Audacity path and began trying my hand at audiobook recording. For some reason, I stepped away from it, but not before investing in a good mic, pop filter, etc. I like the idea of UA-cam voiceover work because they would be shorter than an entire book. I may revisit the voiceover world. If I do, I will certainly watch your videos.
My main question is what screen recording software do you use? I like the annotation capability of it. I do not plan to become a UA-camr, but could entertain the idea of doing educational tutorial-type videos - which would utilize good, solid screen recording software. I would also be interested in learning about all of the equipment and software you use for your videos, if you are willing to share.
Again, thank you for the excellent video! I look forward to watching many more!
Thank you for your kind words! I use Camtasia for my recording software. It's the best I've found! I also use a Yeti nano microphone for my UA-cam voice overs: amzn.to/3kioI1r
@@JenniferMarieVO Hi Jennifer! Thank you for sharing the name of your video editing software. Oh, and you are welcome regarding my previous/original comment, but you do a beautiful job with your videos. I also understand how you do so well with your voiceover work. 😊 Thank you again for taking the time to reply. I have been watching your videos since late this afternoon (😆) and have learned a LOT from all of them! I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put in to sharing your expertise with the rest of us.
@@JenniferMarieVO when first signing up with upwork do you need to use your real full name or can you use handles or initials?
I think there can be a new hustle with voice artists. With AI and sites like Vocs AI that have amazing realistic voices, you are almost better off licensing your voice to AI companies to clone
Didn't get any work on upwork
Hi beauty. I'm saying hallo from Romania
I don't have acees to any pc or laptop I want to work for rev as a captionist i giving the test but when I try to sync subtitle with the vidoe it does not sync in Android I need your help for this thank you.
Unfortunately, you cannot do this job without a laptop or PC. I don't know any solutions :(
Hey Jennifer, It was a very helpful video. Currently I'm looking for a voiceover artist for one of my youtube channel Can you help? Or is there anyone who can help me with the voiceover?
People have told me that at age 60 I have a cool voice and should do voice over work, but I have no idea how to get hired.
Id do music.on my free time. Voice overs would be so easy for me. I'm already skilled in vocal production. Just wasn't hitting in music. I've always wanted to be a voice actor for south park.
Hi im.from Pakistan and wanna sell my voice please i need your help wanna share mine sample.i can do in englidh,urdu.
Hi..
When signing up is it mandatory to use your real name.
Yes, I believe so.
M

Hi
Hello
Linked in profile's link please
iNSPIRING LADY ON THE INTERNET
I was searching for videos on payment options for VO talent. Examples from Upwork or ACX.
I'm referring to your preferences on most secure methods. Ie., PayPal etc. No one has helped with sharing info on this specifically. What when you land the job. They ask. How you want to be paid
Payment is all done through Upwork's platform and you get paid directly into your bank account. I opened up a Wise personal account and linked it to Upwork so my USD earnings are deposited directly into the account and from there, I can transfer to my Canadian bank account. Check out my Upwork payment tutorials and my Wise tutorial if you want to learn more. :)
Omg you are excellent!
This is all new to me.
So you use Wise as the bridge between your direct bank account.
Is that correct
So you don't recommend using your bank account directly to give to clients
I'm also asking in reference to ACX pay by hour payments.
I was only concerned. Because we are independent contacts and jobs can be world wide.
Is I'm a security freak
Thank you again. I will be following from now on.
Hey Jennifer, I need your assistance. If I can send you a private mail or a message , would really appreciate it.
Unfortunately, I receive hundreds of these requests each week and am unable to offer one-on-one support. Feel free to comment on a relevant video and ask a question so everyone reading can benefit. :)
