Transcript: Fiverr Voice Over Webinar 11-18-2021

This is a transcript from a Fiverr Voice Over webinar held on November 18, 2021.

Introduction

As a professional voice actor and Top Rated Fiverr seller, I started my journey at a university radio station and transitioned to full-time voice over freelancing. Marketing is a lot more than a nice logo — branding for audio professionals means defining your skills and work genres.

Choosing Your Area of Focus

Major voice over genres include:

• Commercial work (TV, radio, internet ads)
• Animation and character work
• Audiobooks
• Video game narration
• Corporate/eLearning
• Announcing
• Documentary-style narration

For beginners, I recommend starting with commercial demos: 60-75 seconds with six 10-second spots and varied tones works well.

Marketing Materials Required

Essential components include:

• Professional website with downloadable demos
• Multiple demo reels by genre
• Freelance platform profiles (like Fiverr)
• Active social media presence

SMART Goals Framework

Use structured goal-setting with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives. For example: "Within Q1 of 2022, I will land my first direct voice over client through targeted email outreach to production companies."

Key Takeaway

Rome wasn't built in a day. If you commit to marketing yourself consistently, it's only a matter of time before that consistency is rewarded with business opportunities.
