People keep telling me I have a calming voice... what can I actually do with that?

Posted by Equivalent-Ad-2373@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 13 comments

I've been told by multiple people over time that my voice is really soothing and easy to listen to. I never really thought much of it, but recently someone mentioned I could maybe turn that into some kind of side hustle or opportunity.

I'm not really sure where to start though. I don't have any experience with voice work, content creation, or anything like that, but I'd be open to trying.

If you enjoy reading aloud d you're serious - ACXis the primary platform for narrating books for Audible. You could audition for specific titles that match your vocal style. More info, here

You don't need a massively over powered recording studio, just a semi decent microphone and a digital recorder - your tablet, phone, laptop or PC will do. Getting your hands on a copy of Audacity for editing.

If jumping straight into a paying contract seems a bit steep, get yourself some experience volunteering for LibriVox narrating public domain books.

Can tou record yourself saying "I am slowly taking my bra off" and share it here, so we can decide whether your statement is true?

I had this one colleague who had this incredible voice. Like, smooth, deep, resonant. I told him he should do a podcast or voiceover work!

Omg, I am this person! I actually hated ny voice growing up because in recordings (not in real life imo), it sounded sooo monotonous and boring but everyone always says I have a caring voice. A girl at school once said I should be a therapist (I think I do enoigh of that for free tbh), and a colleague once messages me after I spoke in a wider team call just to talk about how nice I always sound 😂😂

I guess you could read audio books or make voice over video for people? Maybe even consider the therapy route
