In past posts, I’ve talked about many of the roadblocks that
can stand in your way when you are starting out in the voiceover
profession. There should be no secret of
the fact that it is not always easy to build your own business, and this career
path is certainly no exception. However,
there are many great reasons why I, and other voiceover artists, work so hard
to be successful in the industry. There
are many wonderful advantages of working as a voiceover professional.
Work in Your Pajamas It’s not always going to be the case, but
there are many days when, if you wanted to, you could go to work in your
pajamas. That is because work is in your
own home. With a home office and
recording space, you have the luxury of wearing whatever attire you’d like, as
long as you get the work done.
Begin to Excel at Trivial Pursuit This career is an interesting
one in that it exposes you to all sorts of information that you wouldn’t have
likely been privy to otherwise. There is
a lot of reading to be done, and often that leads to you learning all sorts of
facts that might just serve you well in a game of trivial pursuit.
Plenty of Peace and Quiet Working from home has one more very
distinct advantage – quiet. There is no
office banter or phone conversations happening around you. This is your domain and you will very often
be on your own to enjoy the peace that the job provides (unless, of course, you
are sharing your home office with your spouse or roommate).
Be Something New Every Day Well, probably not every day, but
there will certainly be plenty of time spent pretending that you are someone-
or something else. As a voiceover
artist, you will very likely give voice to many inanimate objects on a fairly
regular basis. You can become (at least
for a little while) a dog, an apple, or perhaps even a golf ball (and without
the pain of being hit with a golf club!).
