Voice Over Freelance Work

Voice over work is in demand and it is the type of job that fits perfectly with the freelance industry. Not only broadcasters and advertisers, but providers of all kinds of media and training will always have demand for voice overs for scripts and soundtracks. These may be recorded in a tightly prescribed style, or some imagination and flair may be desirable on the voice over artist’s part. Some editing know-how and suitable equipment is a must, however, a quiet, controlled recording environment may not be the natural habitat of a stay at home dad!

There are a few tools you need to be able to set yourself up as a voice over freelancer and that includes a decent internet connection to be able to transfer larger files, a laptop with some high quality DAW software Digital Audio Workstation and a good quality microphone.

For example, you might prefer a USB microphone such as the Snowball iCE USB Microphone if you are on a small budget but are looking for something that is still of good quality or you might even want to stretch as far as getting a dynamic broadcast microphone – similar to the types used in radio broadcasting.

Video Editing Freelance Work

Freelance video editing skills can be employed, as with voice overs, by software and training providers in addition to more obvious kinds of film makers. Whether you just have a little commercial experience with the video tools in the Adobe product range, or a deeper expertise within the trade, a lot can be achieved with just a laptop and in working hours to suit.
