How voice-over work works

  • Lesson 1 of 23
  • 5 min read
  • Free lesson

Clients send a script. You record it in a quiet space, edit out mistakes and breaths, and deliver clean audio files. You charge per job or session, plus a usage fee for adverts.

Who hires voice artists

  • Ad agencies and radio stations.
  • Companies making training, e-learning and explainer videos.
  • YouTubers, podcasters and small businesses.
  • Studios that need SA languages and accents.

The steps to a first paid job

  1. Set up a quiet recording space.
  2. Record a one-minute demo reel.
  3. Pitch studios, agencies and small businesses.
  4. Deliver fast, clean audio and agree usage in writing.

A good sign: a client who comes back with a second script.

Quick check

Pick an answer to see how you did.

In a typical case, how long until the first money comes in?

Your challenge

Check it before you spend

Record the same 30-second script in two styles and ask three people which sounds more natural.

You are done when:

  • You wrote down what you found
  • You know whether to carry on or adjust

You report this yourself. Nobody checks, so it only counts if you really did it.
