You've got another subscriber. A simple strait forward instructional video. No fluff, not boring, and solid advice. I've watched a couple of your video's now and they carry the same caliber of quality. So thank you.

Thank you Angela for your valuable content! I am hyped!! :D

Thanks so much for this highly informative video. I will certainly take your advice to heart and continue watching and learning from your videos as I enter into the world of audiobooks and the voiceover experience.

Love your videos, can’t wait to get started on ACX!

Much appreciated, Angela! Very informative content. Nice, clear VO

Thank you for the information! And frankly I wish all commercials I hear would be with your voice, you have an incredible voice! I would listen to you all day and night!!!

I have always wanted to do voice recordings but had no idea how to even get started..thank you so so much!

Super-helpful for starting out in Voiceover work! ACX seems to be a good beginning place.

Thank you, I appreciate the tips, very informative.

Very informative and highly useful info! Thanks! I just finished my first audiobook and am contracted to do a second one.

Excellent video! Thanks for the upload!

Brilliant for me at this point of time! Bless you Dear! Best wishes and kindest regards, Andrew

Another golden video! You got a permanent subscriber LOL!

Hi Angela....just today found your audio related tutorials. Professional photography is what occupies my time now but I'm a former radio guy who's missing his days behind the microphone. Wanting to do audio again has brought me into a very different world. Radio days were in the analog age. I was pretty fantastic with a razor blade and grease pencil! Now I'm learning from scratch. Don't yet know what I want to do. I'm equipped with a modest home studio and portable recorder. Recording audio books is something which never entered my mind. I'll explore it. I'm subscribed to your channel and will see you again. Thanks for the fresh approach!

I started as an illegal radio station at the age of fourteen in 1986. and I made all my radio jingles myself with a mixer the Monarch MMX-88 and a studio tape recorder. I quit after fifteen years of illegal radio station. and then I started making jingles for various radio stations and later commercials were added. now i am almost fifty years old, and i still do my audio productions as producer / voice actor. I enjoy working in my home studio. and I still learn new things in audio technology every day

Great, helpful advice again Angel, especially the Librivox tip. I've just subscribed to your channel.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your voice!. Love your studio, and I didn't hear "the dog barking next door." Would you mind sharing how you made that room look so cool and efficient? It looks soundproof.

Thank you so much for the great advice... I am wanting to start out, but I only have the laptop with No plug ins or microphone, so I better start saving! Thank you. XxX.

You are not only unaware as to how great a narrator you are, but you are humble by nature, caring and compassionate. You are a very special young woman. I am going to learn everything I can from your videos then "go for it!" A few years ago I was told several times a week by callers when I did receptionist work that I had a "vanilla voice" and would be well suited for "radio". I'm hoping that is still the case, I am 68 now but I'm sure there's something that needs the touch of a gentle grandmother :D

Good stuff! Taking the leap this week 😬

WOW. You were under 1,000 subs here & it says "1 year ago." You blowin' up, VOA! 18.8K subs as of 1/18/23. :) ❤

Liked your video informative as always

Fantastic video

Thanks for everything

really interesting video! thank you. Have there been any developments regarding more countries being added onto the ACX list. I live in Greece.

THANKS SO MUCH!

Thank You Again Angela! I am soaking up all your info like a sponge. Being extremely new to this I will have to rely on public domain works not personal previous work to get started, like many people I am sure. I have gone to Project Gutenberg for pieces to practice with and have a a couple I'd like to use as samples soon (must keep practicing for a bit and waiting on some new equipment to set up properly). My question is this, is there anywhere to find more current work to use for samples? I would like to do self help style books and children's books, or instructional books for work but Project Gutenberg does not have much in that type of work to use. LOVE the selection for reading and practicing, just not sure what I can use from there to help get me work in my preferred area. I can not seem to find where in google books to find public domain work, and afraid that it would be similar to Project Gutenberg. Any suggestions on more current public domain work to use?

I need to go back and read through the Production Checklist.

Thanks very much ma

I am just positioning myself to get started with ACX. I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you!!! Any tips on how to find a coach?

If Humanity were the measure of success you can be rest assured that that, I for one, appreciate that purity in you.

Thanks so much for this informative video! Would you say ACX is better suited for professional/experienced narrators, or is it fairly beginner-friendly too? I'm just starting out in narration and I'd love to use ACX.

Thanks for this!!! I messed up by making myself an Author on ACX, when I plan on doing all my own audio anyway. I totally misunderstood, and wanted to narrate for others!!! Is there anyway to change my profile? I made a new amazon profile so I could upload the audio I did for someone else's work. But I figured I'd ask anyway.

Where does one go to learn what equipment is needed, how to record and edit? I'm confident in my voice over abilities, but I'm not super technical. Thank you.

I have an audio book on ACX that I narrated but now think I need to set up a separate ACX account to be a narrator. When I log into my account it defaults to my audio book project. Any tips on how to create a separate account?

Please , I need some info . When applying to ACX it says I need a EIN number , if I want to be a Narrarator , do I need that . And if I need that does this mean I consider myself a company or can I pull an EIN from one of my old w-2 forms from a former Employer Or instead of an EIN number can I put my social security number in the EIN box

Angela, I noticed that it doesn't appear you have a filter on or in front of the microphone. Can you please explain this to me? I was just curious. Great video by the way. It taught me alot. Thank you!

Thank you so much for all your amazingly helpful videos! I had a question about setting up my ACX profile. I was hired to narrate six audiobooks years ago by a studio, but someone else did all the editing/production etc. Should I still include them as experience even though I had nothing to do with producing them? Thank you!

It's me again with another question. For an audio book, each chapter is a separate file. But what about all of the text that precedes the first chapter? Does all of that go on one file?

If I go with the Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, do I still "need" thunderbolt connectivity?

what was the website for the beginner narrator?

Loved this video! Question…I noticed when I signed up for ACX there is the box to check that says you understand all the rules but there is also a box to check for tax info., my question is …is it best to have a TaxID number when first signing up?

Hi Angela! Great video, very informative! Just a question about ACX countries. I am Canadian, but now live in Sweden teaching English. Because I hold a Canadian passport, would I still be eligible to be a narrator for ACX? Thanks so much! :-)

I have been doing LibriVox as per your recommendation and really enjoying it. My first short story, "A Dangerous Scarecrow," was posted on LibriVox. I could have done it better as far as characterization of voices. So I am sticking to short stories with one narrator or a few characters. I did a Modest Proposal recently which was one narrator. Think it came out fine. I may use as a sample for ACX when I get to that part. Would it be best to create an ACX profile once I have more experience or can I start uploading samples as I complete them? I have one for now. I am assuming it takes time to be noticed to do a work for someone.

Is it necessary to meet all of the submissions requirements for auditions? I am an experienced audio producer so it is not a problem, just wanting to know if ACX rejects auditions that don't meet the requirements or is that reserved for the actual files produced for the finished product?

Hi. I'm just getting started and have a short story under my belt. With samples, would you say to put up a variety of character voices as well as my own. For instance, I can do a decent British accent. Also doing a variety of read styles?

👍👍

Thank you so much for your videos! I do have a quick question. When registering, it asked if I have valid tax ID number. Is this something I need to also register for or is my Social security number valid?

very helpful. thank you. I feel like you may have narrated something I've listened too lol

What voice software do you use to record your books, pls? I want you to recommend a series of them plus what you're currently have. Thanks

Hi, Angela! Thank you for all of the great info! I do have a question for you... How do I change my profile from an author to narrator on ACX? Thanks... and keep up the good work :)

Can you tell me if Imac GarageBand would work for audio editing?

Hi Angela, thank you so much for this information. I am gathering materials and looking to beginning voice acting. I'm wondering - do you recommend creating a new Amazon account and a new email for your voice over business? And I am wondering if Raven Green Studio is descriptive enough or if I should include voice over/narration/or simply VO. My concern is that I am also and artist and have always used the word "studio" for my art and art pages and want to avoid confusion. Should I just have multiple emails and names for each business? Apologies if this is a silly question!

Hi Angela, Just got done with my 2nd audiobook. I received this message from my RH and dont know what to reply: "Hi, I want to press approve but I am wondering if you can tell me how to add the publisher, Manuscripts. Right now it's blank and I'm not sure if I can add it afterward. Can you please let me know?" Please do you have an answer :)

Thank you. Are there good opportunities for those who do character voices? I’m interested in narrating young kids and early teens books.

Hey angela! quick question if you have the time. i am more than ready for this now. ive been practicing. i just want to know if i have to be certified in anything to get accepted for a book naration. because i have no experience in doing this for other people but i want to give it a try. im worried that that they wont give me a chance because i am not certified with a certain degree. thank you

How do you upload an audio book to acx if you already have a book narrated by someone else?

Thank you, I am algerien student and i want to start voiceover job.

Hi! Where will I receive my payments? Through Paypal? Or there´s some kind of agreement?

You mentioned if I want to be an author AND narrator for others I’ll need another profile do I actually need to create separate amazon accounts because thats what it looks like is going to happen

This might be a silly question, but do all fiction audiobook narrations use different character voices?

hey, so I want to narrate and consequently chose "narrator" for my profile instead of producer, how do I change this?

I am narrator and book writer what's the best option? Two accounts or one?

hi, It does ask about a US tax id, how do I get something like that? Is that necessary?

Is it considered ethical to submit samples of books you have recorded without permission from the rights holder or books you have not fully recorded?

If im not from America, can i still make audiobooks for Acx???

Hello What is the software name you use to dowload ad ons?

Hlo maaam i wanna ask that i dnt hav amazon acount so how i can sing in

Hi Angela, what does ACX mean about outtakes?

How can I go back and change my profile from "Narrator" to "Producer?"

please launch a full course about professional podcast editing

So, if I want to narrate books I am not a narrator but a publisher?

Is this open for Philippines?

What is ACX?

Really enjoying your videos. Would you be able to start linking your references and anything you mention in the text below your video. It would really help.

Why are you using a Producer account as an example, instead of Narrator/Actor?
