What do Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman have in common? Bet you didn’t guess that they’re both voice-over artists! And here’s a little secret: if you have a great voice, this is a job you might want to consider!<\/p>\n

Over the last few years, the demand for professional voice-over artists has dramatically increased. With more and more companies looking to localize their brands, they’re turning to trusted linguists like Day Translations<\/a> for the video and voice-over assistance they so desperately need.<\/p>\n

That being said, we thought we’d shed some light on one of the most exciting career paths within the company. Here’s a look at why voice-over is a dream role and what you’ll need to get started.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Is voice-over anyway?<\/h2>\n

In short: voice-over is a production process that involves using a voice for theater, TV, film, and other media. The process sees someone reading a script, but it’s not as simple as just reading from a piece of paper. Voice-over artists have to meet specific requirements before being hired. They must be able to read loud and clear and have the ability to adapt their voices to the task at hand, sometimes without prior preparation.<\/p>\n

Why voice-over artists have great jobs<\/h2>\n

Choosing to become a voice-over artist is similar to choosing to do any kind of job. You need to be motivated, have the appropriate skills on your resume, and of course, the right opportunities. Here are three great reasons to become a voice-over artist!<\/p>\n

You’ll never be “just yourself” at the office<\/h4>\n

At times, you’ll be tasked with commercial voice-overs just to do much more serious narrations the next day. As a voice-over artist, you never know who you’ll voice-over or which character you’ll breathe life (or rather a voice) into. You might just end up being the voice of the next big hit cartoon!<\/p>\n

You’ll become more adaptable<\/h4>\n

Perhaps you’re voicing a princess or a cartoon animal in your latest project. Regardless of which character you’re voicing, one of the core elements of voice-over is the ability to go in and out of character. Voice-over artists must be versatile and able to adapt to an array of different situations at the drop of a hat. Learning to adjust to new challenges in a short time won’t only benefit your voice-over career; it’ll add to the list of your transferable skills that you can use to advance your career in the future too.<\/p>\n

You’ll get paid to grow professionally<\/h4>\n

Whether you’re working on a serious broadcast or an energetic production, playing with voices and giving voice to a plethora of entities will never be dull. Getting paid for all that hard work and dedication sweetens the deal even more.\u00a0 Desk jobs typically entail the same work, day in and day out. But when you work as a voice-over artist, you’ll be exposed to new opportunities regularly, opportunities that can enhance your skills and help you grow on a professional level.<\/p>\n

What is the earning potential for voice-over artists?<\/h2>\n

Voice acting is a very exciting and rewarding career. And thanks to the global pandemic, it’s much easier to find a high-paying role with companies that are willing to work with artists remotely. Many voice-over artists now audition and even work from home full time. All while earning salaries upward of R240,000 per year by working just a few hours every day.
