I just did some voicemail announcements for a voice over client. I went to their office and spoke into their phone and did every greeting for their system in the client's office. And when I was leaving and thinking about dollar signs I said, "So...how do you want to do this?" which I knew sounded weird in my head and found out it sounded even weirder outside of it. Fortunately, he'd already had the cash ready.
I guess that makes me a voicemail whore. And yet, getting paid on an immediate basis is a hell of a lot better than waiting for a check.
That is the best gig ever. Is your speaking voice awesome? It must be, huh. How does one get jobs for that?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's much better than anyone else's, but I'm willing to speak so it sounds like I'm "smiling" and I am an excellent reader without reading ahead. Just see the words and out they come! I've realized that's pretty much the key - read without understanding (because the copy doesn't make much sense anyway) and sound really happy about it all.
