New to VO and appreciate your points. Was so much easier to just record our podcasts. The whole audition thing feels like so much pressure😅.. working to make it feel more fun.. between all the work:))).. Feels like the right and natural path.. just SO much on the way to great outcome for self and clients. Whew:)!

Hi Neil! New subscriber, just watched 4 of your videos straight through. Thank you so much for the valuable information you share. I have a couple of questions based on what I’ve seen so far. What CRM do you use to send out 100 emails and nurture every 6-12 months? Also, how can I find out which companies have a roster of in house voice over artists? Any tips would be greatly appreciated:) On to the next video!☺️

All very handy pieces of advice. Thank you. Now I just need to figure out how to get down to 5 to 10 edits per chapter LOL

10:14 *“You can, be a, blacklisted or not, Voice Over Artist.”* 🤣

Plz rply

I want to talk to you

Any chance you’re still monitoring these comments form a year old video? I’m just getting started and everything has directed me to Fiverr to get started. So I’ve been putting a TON of work into setting up my profile as professionally as I can. But now I see your video talking about blacklisting and it a the first I’ve heard of it. Has anything changed in the year since you posted this? Am I wasting my time or should I still move forward?

Can I do voice overs for audio books on utube using my smartphone?

I'm hoping it pays off eventually. I'm getting into it a bit older, and hopefully a bit wiser and with a deal more patience than some younger folks. It may never work out to be a full-time job for me, as much as I'd like it to. But I've let enough dreams sail past me in the name of expedience or of necessity, or by way of indecision, so I'll be damned if I'm not going to make a go of this one before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

What do you need to record and edit?

Jesus Jones this helps a lot. Everyone asks for converstional then gets weird when you give it to them.

I am still learning about commercial vs broadcast rights. So lets say for example someome uses your voice for purposes not originally recommended. What does Fiverr do to help you? Is there any legal recourse at all?

_// Thanks for sharing the video! Let me tell you something important: God loves you! God loves us ! He is no respecter of persons! because God wants us all to be saved! and let's go to the knowledge of the “Truth” God wants to save us from eternal damnation, which we all deserve because of sin, who entered the world through Adam, and death entered through sin, and thus death passed to all human beings, Therefore, we are all “Sinners” But God's Love was so great for us, that he sent his only Son (Jesus Christ), gave him to this world, to die and rise for all of us! No Respect of Persons! so that everyone who believes in Jesus Christ does not go to eternal punishment, but rather has “Eternal Life!” “ Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and he was buried, and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures Jesus Christ came to call sinners to “Repentance! “ and, he who believes in Him, has “Eternal Life! “But whoever refuses to believe in Jesus Christ, the wrath of God remains on him. Then, as through Adam's transgression, condemnation came to all human beings, in the same way, through the justice of Jesus Christ, justification of life came to all human beings! All of us who believe in The Only Savior of the world! The Only Mediator between God and us! The Lord Jesus Christ! The son of God! All of us who trust in Him; we have “Eternal Life! “ And we must know that there is salvation in no one else; because there is no other name under heaven, given to human beings, in which we can be saved. Only by Believing/Trusting in “Jesus Christ” can we be Saved! But Jesus Christ also said: Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Therefore, we must be doers of the Word of God! and not only listeners and/or readers, deceiving ourselves. So let's read the Word of God! There is His Will! what God wants us to do! Let us read mainly the Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and let us pray to God, our Heavenly Father, all the days of the life that He gave us! God loves you! God loves us! To Him alone be the Glory Forever! Amen! Bible Source: Acts 10:34-35 / 1 Timothy 2:3-6 / Romans 5:12 / John 3:16 / 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 / Luke 5:32 / John 3:36 / Romans 5:18 / John 6:47 / Acts 4:12 / Matthew 7:21 / James 1:22 /,

Wow, I'm kinda shocked. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks for reviewing it.

Thanks so muchh!! I'm startinh with V.O and i was a bit scared about the audio because it all seems so complicated and confusing :/ but now i'm more relaxed and eager to learn 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

Where have you gone Master? Your students require further training, Sensei. 🙏🏿🥋

Until today, it never occurred to me that voice-over was a potential income source. Thank you, Neil, for your content which helped me quantify the potential workload and income in this field.

Hi Neil, in the min 16:25 in my case Reaper doesn't show up the option "Auxiliary Imput L+R", in Detector Imput. It shows another options but no the one that u showed. I wonder if this is very important when recording and editing audio? And another question that I had is, Im having a little of delay and reverb while speaking to the mic. Im using the Audio Technica 2005 via USB to my PC, Win10, and my Options- Audio-Device preferences in Reaper Im using WASAPI, because it handles better the delay and reverb than Wave out, but there's still some delay and reverb. Also I have my headset conected to the microphone imput audio jack, so that way I can hear myself while speaking. Could be this the source of the issue? :(

How long is the verification process. It says 7 days but I’ve been waiting 10 days

I may have missed a video on it, but I am curious as to how i should rate a youtube narration. Per word? PFH? does it count as a broadcast? I don't have many credits yet and i don't want to over charge

I had to bow out of doing a project, a fantasy novel, that was written at below 3rd grade reading level, with poor grammar, sentence fragments, run-on sentences, character dialogue that had no end quotation marks so I didn't know that the character had stopped speaking and 3rd-person narration had resumed.

I have a question, let's say I want a short voice over for a youtube video on my hobby channel with education content (not existing yet), which may get me some revenue from youtube ads, or may not. Should I order Commercial Rights in that case? And do I have to renew that each year or how does it work?

I have a mic 🎤 I purchased on Amazon do I need a audio interface or pre amp

love this. thank you!

Bunny studio decided to become more expensive just in the moment artificial intelligence entered the game. I barely can pay projects as often as before, even post pandemic.

My friend sent this website to me. Rather not pay to look at websites. You shouldn’t have to pay for them. Thank you for making this video. What do you recommend using for looking for starting out doing this, I’m a web series creator and voice actor and just wanna do some voice acting getting paid.

Thanks for another honest and helpful video Neil, hope you're doing well 👍 😊 Dale Preston VO

Do you still need to use the older version of Reaper, or have they updated the software to add the option to remove ripple?

It's a great site but it is blocked

This is super great information. Thanks so much! Do you have a recommendation for a plugin for LinkedIn scraping?

Thanks for the reality check and encouragement. Best wishes. BB

Damn good video. Thank you.

Hi neil, I am a certified filmmaker in America how accurate will it be for me?

You helped me more than the total number of videos on VO I watched on KZfaq so far

Thank you for this information.

I'm barely starting in Fiverr, this is very usefull.

Apparently Covoco is gone? Tried to log on today and I get error messages and can't sign in.

most of the auditions want american english accents, very few want british or Scottish accents sadly. I SPENT TIME RECORDING AN AUDITION, SUBMITTED IT. THEN GOT AN EMAIL SAYING THE AUTHOR HAD WITHDRAWN THE BOOK. WHICH WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME AND EFFORT

Spot on

This is a very informative video. It's exactly what I was looking for. I think as someone from the US, I can do well on this platform. I'd just like toknow if these tidbits are still current. They only offer for $199 membership now and not a monthly fee. I just want to make sure there are enough jobs to apply to and that I can get jobs even if I'm not a pro

Just started a couple of days ago! Thank you for the information as I am new to doing voice overs for people. I’m more of a voice impressionist but they can also order my natural voice as well. Say if they wanted my Pennywise voice and it’s for commercial use. Do I charge for that license? Technically it’s not my natural voice.

how to make my blue yeti sound just as amazing as at.. 4:09 ?? I have a pop filter as well

Super helpful!! Thx :) Subscribed!

Sorry to say but these videos are all dated videos are you updating your content for 2023/4?

I made $60 on Covoco for a short job..so I guess they are somewhat legit.

EXCELLENT💯👍 TERRIFIC HONEST REVIEW.. THANKS FROM VOICE OVER ARTIST FROM KASHMIR, INDIA

Why aren’t there any new videos?

Starnow has always felt a little bit predatory to me, in their business model / marketing strategy. You've kind of confirmed it, despite listing valid pro's going for them, so thank you for that.

Needed to hear this. Did FM Radio and some production about a decade ago, want to get back in voice scene again. Thanks for the confidence booster.
