Hey all!

I've been told for years that I have a great voice for announcing and have decided to try to make a run at this during August, with the ultimate goal being at least 1 paid gig for voice work by the end of the month.

I've got a good quality mic, I've downloaded a few audiobooks and tutorials for voice over work, and am learning to use Audacity for recording and editing.

Ultimately, I plan to just use Fiverr for getting myself 'out there' and will offer a better value than most others to get my first few sales. If I'm getting more requests than I typically would want, I'd likely start to raise prices til it's a more casual job. - but there is always the possibility that this will always be a part time gig that trickles in with requests and doesn't take off like I would like it to - Which is why I'm here!

Voice over people and freelancers

• What are your tips for getting your first gig? Your first 10 gigs? 50 gigs?

  • What tools or services do you use that are a big help? (Free or worth the value to part timers)
  • How did you decide on price? When did you decide to raise prices? What other service did you expand to?
  • Any other information that you feel is useful would be a big help.

Thanks all!
