A Mini Guide to Kickstart your Freelance Voice-Over Career [e-book]

What is this guide?

This is, as the cover says, a mini guide to kickstart your voice-over career. I have over 6 years of experience in freelance voice-over work and have worked for companies both big and small across the years. I have a 4.9/5 rating on Bionluk (the equivalent of Fiver in my country) with a total of 192 orders/jobs for clients (with 138 of them being repeat clients.)

Through this guide, I've tried to share some of the answers I was looking for when I first started as well as the answers to some questions people have asked me too! I hope you'll find it useful.

Who is it for?

This guide is for absolutely anyone who is eager to explore freelance voice-acting! This work came to me sort of by accident—and I'm glad that it did, because it opened up a new alley I didn't even know existed.

How to use it?

Read it beginning to end, skim through, that's up to you. (I promise I wasn't trying to rhyme here).
