The way individuals consume content has radically changed over time. Audio content appears to be more popular than textual content. Due to the sheer popularity of audio content, brands have realized the value of incorporating it into their marketing campaigns. Consequently, demand for voice-over actors has greatly increased. The good news is that there is no limitation to where a voice-over actor can offer their services. All companies in all industries can use voiceovers as long as they need to provide their target audiences with authentic-sounding content that aids in defining their brand voice.

Let us look into some of the companies that are popularly known for using voiceovers.

a) Film making companies

voice acting has become as popular and valuable as traditional acting. We detect a narrating voice behind every film, which delivers and directs the narrative. We also frequently hear a human voice where a man, woman, or child directly narrates all or part of the story from off-screen. If you are a voice-over actor seeking an opportunity you may consider dipping your feet in this industry. On the same note, I understand there are other people who may be seeking voice-over production services.  I am excited to let you know Janeson Recordings offers voice-over recording among other recording services. 

b) Audio Book Narration companies

There are numerous reasons why audiobooks have grown so popular among book lovers, ranging from their incredible convenience to their capacity to elicit strong emotions. Voice-over acting jobs for audiobooks can be found on sites like Voices. You can also get an opportunity through publishers like Amazon and Audible. In the event that you get a Job description that meets your expectation, you can audition for it through Voices, through publishers, or a service affiliated with them.

c) Online Ads

Due to the boom in online retail businesses, Online Ads have been on the rise as business owners strive to compete and position themselves strategically. As I mentioned above audio content appears to be more popular than textual content hence the demand for voice-over talents. You can get these gigs on sites like Upwork. You will be required to set up a free profile to showcase your skills, experience, and desired pay rate to clients. You will choose the payment method that’s best for you to easily get paid for your work.

As video game creators build detailed plots and narratives, practically, every video game features some type of voice-over. The usage of voice-over in video games helps gamers completely engage with the game. That has increased the need for video game voiceovers, causing an influx of voice actors into the fast-expanding gaming industry. A platform like Voices can effectively guide you through an exciting, difficult, and gratifying career recording video game voiceovers. This applies to both seasoned voice-over performers and total newbies to the craft.
