Voiceover Work

Voiceover work yields a median side income of $500–3,000/month in a $4.4 billion industry growing at 8% annually. With just a $100–200 USB microphone (Blue Yeti or Rode NT-USB) and $50 in acoustic blankets, audiobook narration pays $100–400 per finished hour (PFH), which is 60% higher than #9 Digital Templates' per-unit revenue for comparable effort. Commercial spots earn $250–1,000 each, but AI is compressing the low-end market—making premium human voices 35% more valuable than in 2023. Platforms like Voices.com and ACX offer 40% higher payouts than Fiverr Pro, reinforcing that niche clarity beats broad competition.
