If you're looking for a job that is not like the other typical boring jobs, then you might like to try voice over job especially if you have a gift of having a good voice. You can have your own preference from the different categories of voice over like commercial, IVR, narration on audio books, voice over on cartoon characters which include acting, voice over on video games, and short jingles. To start with, you will need to download the Audacity app which you will use for your voice demo and its free.
And next is you will need to make a demo, you can choose a nice commercial and you can try to check it on Youtube. A shampoo commercial will do, then you can start transcribing it and rehearse in reading it. Your demo should be up to two minutes only. Make sure that you don’t forget one important tip which is when you read your script it should be in a conversational way. A free trial course is available which is the “The Voice Over For Beginners Course,” in www.gravyforthebrainteam.com.
