How I Started Voice Over on Fiverr and Made $1500+ a Month

I started my Voice over career on Fiverr only a few months ago and started to make money. This is a thing that you can do too if you really give it a good go!
This video I tell my story on how to sell voiceover on Fiverr and become a voiceover artist.

I've been working on my voice acting for a while now, but haven't managed to get anywhere with it professionally. I've decided to give Fiverr a try and just put out my first gig. It definitely needs work, but having this as a start is still better than nothing.

I'm truly fortunate to find this video. I'm also at a point in my life where I don't want to do jobs I don't like and work with people I don't get along with. I'm looking to get into voice acting as I've been told I have a good voice and lots of energy. I know it takes more than that to be successful, but I'm willing to get the training to do it. Seeing this video has been extremely helpful.

[@tawnykc83]

I know this video is a little old but I just came across it now because I'm trying to break into the voiceover business. I've taken a course, bought my equipment and practiced recording and editing but I haven't fully completed any of my profiles on sites like ACX, Fiverr, Upwork, and Voices. My issue is that I am so intimidated by how good everyone else is. I don't really know how to create as professional of a demo reel as other people have. In all my research, I have never heard of a "gig video" so that's something else I'm going to need to look into. I will definitely have to check out your other videos about this topic. I like that you are very clear and to the point. Thank you for this video!

[@terimyers6872]

@@erick.jagger I actually have a weekly gig as a Power Ranger on Mighty Morphin Brick Rangers. I voice Trini the yellow ranger as well as various other characters.

[@YumegakaMurakumo]

As someone who's new to Fiverr and on a VERY tight budget, I think my Note 9 honestly has exceptional recording. I've been playing around doing voices of my characters and existing characters that sound pretty good. I live in an apartment so I have to record in my car at 12 AM or later in the morning. It's the best time to do so and soooo much fun to go back and listen to and be like "Holy crap, I can actually do that voice!" 😂 I keep forgetting that my own normal voice someone else might like to use not just cartoon voices so I'm super excited to begin this journey. 💜💜💜

[@themicdfiles1865]

The Rodecaster Pro is what I use for my podcast. We’ve had some sound issues, however, anybody who has listened to the show has told me I have a perfect voice for this endeavor. The show is off the cuff, non-scripted and me being me. I’m running Sterling SMK150SP condenser mics. I use a canon t7 camera and built a studio in my home. The space has a decent sound but I need to do something else to improve. I feel my voice is too deep, too baritone, but people compliment it. It’s odd to get compliments as I’ve always been the “quiet guy” in a room. It was difficult to begin doing this, but I did. I’m comfortable on the mic now, and would like to start doing voice over work. Perhaps give me a listen and some advice if you have time or the inclination. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.

[@FaulksDigital]

Nice! Will take a listen!

[@joannaparker8050]

[@Slayheim]

Thank you for this video. I’m considering starting a gig for voice acting hopefully for indie games. I really enjoy playing and discussing games and recently purchased a new mic for my setup and wondering if I can put it to good use and make some side income. I liked and subbed to your channel. Thank you for your vids!

[@FaulksDigital]

Go for it, specialising in something like voiceover for games will definitely help you get started better than just being a general voiceover artist like I have done. Make it happen!

[@kimberlygilbert8829]

@@FaulksDigital where would one go to specifically target video game jobs?!

[@HowardLeeHarkness]

Some feedback: I'm a musician, and I find music backgrounds in what I expect to be an instructional video to be extremely annoying. I find it difficult *not* to listen to music (even music I don't like), and that, in turn, makes speech harder to follow.

[@AHazyNebula]

You're a musician, you are attracted to the music more than voice. It's natural. I'm a voice actor, I barely heard the music. I naturally focus on the voice. I rewatched the video 2 more times. Now I can see where you're coming from, it could've been lowered a little bit more.

[@FaulksDigital]

Yeah I agree with you both, I have learned and now i keep the music quieter in newer videos, and it is also not constant!

[@YumegakaMurakumo]

I'm an aspiring voice actress, I heard both. I like both. Want to get into voice acting, animating, and music mixing/making! But ONE thing at a time! 😂

[@Voiceovermasterclass]

I completely agree, it's like annoying music in lifts. Why do people do this? It's OK on promos and ads, it enhances the mood, but for the training videos, cut the music is far better and more effective for learning.

[@tbok75]

So informative! The big thing for me is not caring for the sound of my own voice... But I have recently heard that what I might hear isn't the same as what OTHERS hear. Knowing this makes me believe I CAN do it. Doesn't hurt to try right?

[@perfectbreakfast]

This is the ultimate video on this topic

[@puregroove5171]

Amazing video, but one thing I'd definitely change is your "lowest" price for condenser microphones. The Lewitt LTC 440 Pure is only $269 and it absolutely crushes many of the 400-600$ microphones I've heard. This is just one company of a handful that really makes nice condenser microphones for around 150-300$. TL;DR . . . You don't need 400$ for a "low" end condenser microphone.

[@FaulksDigital]

Good to know and yes I agree, I could dive really deep into microphones and im considering doing a video on it, if people care for it! I've always loveed the idea of a Lewitt, may have to try it!

[@offbeatbeat6528]

I am starting out in VO work. I have mic and all. What's best way to start PROMOTING yourself. Like literally the very first thing you did like build profile wise- Reel? Also are there any apps you can practice with other actors just for fun and or professional experience ? Maybe one you can audition in.

[@FaulksDigital]

Hi, so basically explained in the video. Started making a demo using practice scripts. Made a gig video and a gig on Fiverr. Started selling with just those. I personally did no further marketing but for someone very serious about taking VO to the next level, you could also join more VO networks/job boards (voices.com) and join more freelancing sites like Upwork. I would also make your own website to host your reels, advertise your prices and make content for social media.

[@americanbradley]

But why not just a good sm57 tho? Great video. I agree, reaper is wonderful. Thank you

[@FaulksDigital]

SM57 is a dynamic mic it requires more gain to pick up the nuances of the voice. Condensor mics do this much better, they sound better at the source for voice over (in general). An SM57 requires more processing.

[@wraithinferno]

I might give this a try. Ive already got a Neewer mic for recording music :p

[@10minuteguidedmeditation75]

This is such great advice. Thank you thank you thank you

[@B-Hathaway]

I picked up the Rode Podcaster used for $80 on FB Marketplace, and I love it. It's great for spaces that aren't treated as well.

[@FaulksDigital]

In fact I recommend this exact mic for people that can't treat their rooms because it's reach is so short. I also think it has a great character to its sound. I should get one myself!

Good video. I do have a Fiverr page but tend not to crow about it as the voiceover industry is very disapproving of it.

[@FaulksDigital]

People disapprove because its new and disruptive. Get on trend early and stay relevant. I don't think there's anything wrong with working on Fiverr. If people tell you there is, they either don't understand it, or their business is already failing because they can't pivot to stay relevant. Watch the industry over the next 5 years

Offer voiceover in your mother language. You may find there is demand for it, and less competition. You can also offer English voiceover but don't pretend to be something you are not, advertise that you have a Ukrainian accent. It may be the perfect voice for someone's project!

[@olenaku1611]

I'm Ukrainian too. I don't do voice over acting, I teach languages for years to people from all over the world. And many of them tell me that they love my accent. Having an accent isn't an issue! Just don't pretend to be a native English speaker.

And I do not have a consistent accent that adheres to either American, British or Australian accent. Do you think it will still sell on Fiverr?

It will do the job just fine. The biggest factor is the space you record in. Make sure you have some form of acoustic treatment/use a closet if you have to, make sure there is no background noise. These things will give you bigger results than worrying about microphones :)

[@MDRProductionz]

Hey man @Faulks Digital, just wanted to reach out and say liked the video and the information you gave. I wanted to inquire about what type of headphones you had around your neck? I have had the Sony MDR-7506 for several years and I am extremely disappointed as this is my second pair that the material on the ear cushions have been cracking and ending up all around my home studio and stuck to my ears. LOL. I would like to upgrade to something that shares more of a cloth/silky material like the ones you have so I don't have to potentially worry about replacing ear muffs again and again as I've already replaced these once with the same outcome of the material cracking. If you wouldn't mind letting me know, I'd greatly appreciate it! -Matt
