Once you have established yourself in this industry, you may
be surprised to find that you get requests for voiceover work from the least
expected places. There have, of course,
been very strange, unusual commercials that use voiceover to animate everything
from plumbing fixtures to wall paper. However,
it is not just the object which your voice will represent, but also the person
doing the hiring that can come as a shock.
I thought it would be great to highlight a bit of fun voiceover work
that a man recently did. The person
hiring him? His teenage daughter. Sounds funny, right? Well, it was, but it was also quite a
brilliant marketing move on the behalf of a pretty, talented, and intelligent
young girl.

The truth is that voiceover is in much higher demand than
many people would think. While most
attribute the work exclusively to books, film, and maybe the occasional
commercial, in truth it has become a very big business that extends into many
different facets.
While this dad undoubtedly didn’t charge his daughter for
the work her did, it does go to show that even Youtube can be a source of
income for voiceover artists. Many music
videos, tutorials, training videos, and other such materials are posted on
Youtube every day. A large portion of
those will feature voiceover work. The
creators of these amateur films have good reason to pay for professional
voiceover. There have been many notable
successes that rose in popularity purely because of their Youtube work. The professional voiceover provides a more
sophisticated feel to a video and, therefore, is often given more credit by
audiences and critics. So, as we face
the start of a New Year, be sure that you are considering every possible avenue
that you could travel, thanks to your voice.
