Findaway Voices does not allow narrators to do cold auditions. A narrator on the Findaway platform has to be invited to audition. And ACX does not compensate narrators...the payments on ACX come directly from the rights holder. ACX just provides a platform for narrators and authors to find each other.
Yeah, I got a mic recently, but didn't try much. There is AI that removes background sounds now. Hehe. I've kept putting off narration since I didn't get contacted it seems from some of these sites. I'll try harder. ACX directly told me that they don't do outside of the USA. I was born and raised in infamous Miami, FL, USA, and thankfully live away from all three places now. I've been stuck though in the Philippines, so I'm trying to save up. Hehe
@@MARIADaSilva-dw9cs nope. It depends what you were expecting, and how things actually work. Some sites are global, and various sites have various payment methods.
It's very hard to get voiceover work. The competition is strong. I narrate my own videos and completed some voiceover courses but having created a profile on several reputable sites I got no offers after many months. I was competing for work against trained actors, so doing a few courses is no guarantee of work.
I give Voices a 2 for the free experience because it's hard to land a gig not being in the special circle of folks that paid a few hundred dollars for membership. It would be nice to actually have someone actually choose me, but each gig has about 50 people auditioning for the same spot. I had no luck in the past 6 months I've been on and actively auditioned. The auditions do make great sample pieces, though.
With all gig sites (upwork, narration sites and so on) there is competition. If you are new - it is hard to get noticed and have a deal. For narration Indians are no competition, but still many people.
Super informative. I've always wanted to read audio books and didn't know how to start, so I'll definitely be checking some of these out. A quick graphic at the end showing all 5 and their ratings together would have been nice.
I hear you but yes,I am earning online and I like simple ways. In my videos I share what has worked for me to actually make money online. I quit my corporate job and tried several things, some earn peanuts, some earn well. It’s always trying things out but that’s the only way. Do nothing and nothing will change right?😂

Absolutely fascinating! Audiobook narration is a captivating blend of storytelling and artistic expression. It's incredible to see how this industry has flourished, offering both creative fulfillment and financial rewards. Ready to embark on a journey of bringing stories to life through your voice? Best of luck on your audiobook narration endeavors.
@@bodiesbydefinition may I ask what side hustle will guarantee you $100 a day?? I'm REALLY curious! Most of the ones I've found usually give me scraps.
I would love to get into voiceover/voice acting work, but each of these sites has its pluses and minuses. I am also curious how you go about setting up a home studio. Can you do a video about setting up a home voice studio, at least a good relatively inexpensive starter setup?
What about the audio and production side of this? Do I need to set up a home recording studio? I've had a lot of experience as a musician in professional recording studios but I've never been an engineer. A decent microphone could easily cost $1000 . What kind of microphones are they using? What kind of software and editing tools? Pro tools? Logic? Over the years, I've been told a number of times that I could be a radio announcer (i've got a good 'master of ceremonies' type of voice.
Well, you need to be able to read well. Helps if you've read the material a few dozen times so you know how it sounds to you when you read it out. Next you want as much quiet as possible. If u can limit the sound of cars driving by and dogs barking it improves the quality of your sample. I hear a lot of people hide in their closet with a 20 dollar Mike to start. The clothes act as sound blankets. When you get further into the profession you can develop your own studio at home and market that as part of your voice acting experience and skill set
Respectfully, I think you take rejection of your voice EXTREMELY personal! Specially, if you don’t know the book’s subject matter. I’m sure you refuse to watch Game of Thrones with unbearable voices, telling a story to represent so many characters requires much more demanding voice. Conclusion: I bet there are stories that could be told perfectly with you voice; if you present your availability to the market.
As far as rating the different websites, this video is great. But you make it sound like anyone can become a narrator. First, there is a huge amount of competition, and most narrators have acting and/or narration experience already. Second, you must have your own professional equipment and a soundproofed room so there is no other noise on your recording, which you will do yourself (not in a studio they provide). I worked as on-air talent in radio for years, and was told 30 years ago that it's very hard to get work unless you're a professional actor. Yes, audio books provide more work than before, but still there are many barriers to entry with this type of work..
Ai can do all of this now. There will be no reason to pay humans. The newest ai voices sound like real humans and they can read and narrate an entire book for free.
AI mispronounces many words, has stilted inflection and intonation and is easily recognized as fake. Mainly it sounds like someone reading without understanding. Any non-native speaker with minimal experience in a language can read like that.
@@pamwaldron2566 new paid versions are much better and very difficult to recognize. Things have changed a lot in the last month and each day ai improves.
Ai caaan sound human but they fail to illicit excitement anger sadness betrayal. They fail to convey emotion. Even when listening to other readers online here there are some stories I simply won't listen to because the reader is dry. You could take the driest novel known to man and if it was read with emotion it could captivate anybody. But take the world's best written stuff and give it to a robot and see how viewers drop
Is ACX available in Australia? ACX is currently only open to residents of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Ireland who have a mailing address, valid local Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and banking details for one of these countries to use this platform. So, what is an audiobook publisher?
There are many AI tools that can translate text to speech now. So why should I hire a person to read while I can use the AI tools to read, even translate to other languages
@@lakshmi4548 You're right. Human touch is important. But most companies are going to do whatever's necessary to improve their bottom line regardless. That means eliminating jobs and using AI in the place of human workers. Many tech jobs are being eliminated. In 5 or so years, the landscape will look very different.
I suppose the concept of nuance escapes you then? AI doesn't understand nuance. Tone shifts. Emotion. Not to mention proper pronunciation of the words being used (you'd be amazed how many they get wrong). Sure AI can provide you a voice, but that's all it can provide. It's soulless. Bereft of vibe or context. I know it might be hard to accept, but AI isn't the be-all-end-all. It has sharp and severe limitations. This one among them.

Its not the equipment, its your actual voice, does it sound good?
