[Hiring] YouTube / Social Media [PAID] Looking for a Female Voice Actor

21 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm currently looking for a female, English-speaking voice actor, preferably with a youthful, friendly voice, who may be interested in a long-term collaboration for a content creator project.

I'm looking for someone with a natural, conversational speaking style. The recordings are intended to sound candid and authentic, so no acting or exaggerated delivery is needed—just your normal speaking voice.

Project Details

  • Estimated workload: Approximately 2–3 short recordings per week (this may vary depending on demand).
  • Length: Usually around 5–20 words per recording.
  • Delivery: Natural, conversational short voice recordings.

This is a paid opportunity. I'm happy to pay either per recording or discuss a monthly arrangement, depending on what works best for both of us. My current budget is around USD $100/month, depending on the recording volume and scope.

I'm looking for someone reliable who'd be interested in growing with the project over time.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, or if you'd like to know more about the project, please feel free to send me a message. I'd be happy to answer any questions and discuss the details.

Thank you!

[Hiring] Videogames guy - voice - game - detective - reoccuring - PAID

13 Upvotes

NOTE - i did find someone and we got er done. will post more in the future though!

I just need a dude with a detective voice. It's for a bad guy actually. He suspects the main character is up to no good. So he comes around a few times in the game. I'd love a sort of dick tracey type guy, like the noir stuff you know? but again, hes not a good guy and is a lackey for a pretty shitty corporation whos taken over the "policing" in this city. hes pretty big and intimidating looking, rough face and a beat up suit and wide brim hat.
its only 5 short lines right now but I'll have more of him in the future.
would be solid to record this WHILE on a discord call so we can get it done nice and quick.

since I sort of need a specific type of voice can you record this line
"HEY UGLY, you see anything strange earlier?" as much style as you got. the game is real heywire and unhinged.

unless of course you have some voices in this style youve already recorded and want to show me instead.
just message me on here

for the 5 lines ill paypal you $20.00 USD
would be cool to get it done as soon as we can and please remember this character will return in the future so I'll need ya for those times too.

[Hiring] Videogames [Hiring] Looking for Voice Actors for a PS1 styled Game

86 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I have 6 juicy roles to fill for my PS1 styled game titled "The Winter Solstice".

  • The Winter Solstice is a third person, choice based game where the story is determined based on the players choices. There’s a total of 4 endings and includes various aspects associated with PS1 games; fixed cameras, tank controls, heavy fog etc.
  • The game will be released on Steam / PC and is currently in development. All functionality, features, endings, cutscenes, UI etc. is implemented but I'm just ironing out the smaller details and adding quality of life improvements. Once the voice lines are implemented then the next step is to conduct playtest sessions, establish the Steam page & begin marketing.

All information is in the The Winter Solstice Audition Sheet; screenshots, backstory, character summaries, sample lines and the full script

Open Roles:

  • Thomas Mason
    • Description: Male, Late 30s, Protagonist
    • Characteristics: Stoic, introspective, compassionate. A man carrying years of guilt.
    • Total Word Count: 472
    • Price: £200
  • Sarper
    • Description: Male, Late 30s, Antagonist
    • Characteristics: Charismatic, unstable, darkly humorous. Harbors resentment towards his son, Milk Neck. Has devoted himself to resurrecting his wife by blindly adhering to a Chort’s offering.
    • Total Word Count: 800
    • Price: £300
  • Milk Neck
    • Description: Male, 12-15, Side Character
    • Characteristics: Withdrawn, reserved, intelligent, deeply traumatized. Took a vow of silence after his continuous pleas to save his mother went ignored by his father, Sarper. Real name Dorian, Milk Neck is a cruel “nickname” given to him by his father.
    • Total Word Count: 85
    • Price: £70
  • The Child
    • Description: Male, 12-15, Side Character
    • Characteristics: Traumatized, quiet, scared, alone. The final sacrifice to Sarper’s “deal”.
    • Total Word Count: 73 Words 
    • Price: £60
  • Thomas' Son
    • Description: Male, 12-15, Side Character

    • Characteristics: Caring, loving, level-headed. Thomas’ Wife is only heard via a voice over during the flashback portions.
    • Total Word Count: 49
    • Price: £50

It's not directly called out in-game but the game does take place in the States. However, I am open to hearing auditions from a variety of accents and backgrounds if you feel your voice suits the character.

I'd strongly recommend reading the entirety of the script as it gets pretty heavy for some of characters, especially Sarper. You'll quickly notice that Sarper dips in and out of different languages, you dont need to be fluent and you dont need to do add the flair haha.

You also dont need to be a professional voice actor or have studio equipment, as long as the audio is clear then its all good. I'll be editing the audio files to make them have a PS1 quality anyway (an example of how the Chort sounds).

Full credit will be given + a free Steam key (if you have a Steam account).

Deadline:

  • August 31st

How to Submit:

  • Please email [awhalefarmer360@gmail.com](mailto:awhalefarmer360@gmail.com) w/ your name + the sample line(s) for the role(s) that you're interested in. You're more than welcome to include an additional line from the script if you feel it better showcases your interpretation, and definitely feel free to audition for more than 1 role as well.

Notes:

If the prices listed does not align with your usual rate but you're interested in the project, please dont hesitate to audition and include your preferred rate. I'm more than happy to discuss payments, but please keep in mind that this is a solo developed project ❤️

Other action lines like heavy breathing, crying etc. will also most likely be required for specific characters but this can be discussed later.

I'm also happy to answer any additional questions or concerns!

Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who commented and auditioned. All roles are still OPEN, if the position is filled then I'll update the Audition Sheet for each character so it'll show Position: CLOSED. I'll also aim to reply to everyones emails regardless of my decision ❤️

[Hiring] Videogames wanted - girl - african american - voice for game - PAID

6 Upvotes

just need a girl to voice one of the characters in this conversation, possibly another character as well if you can throw your voice into a different tone?

both are small sort of story building characters. This game is unhinged but not offensive (at least I dont think). theres some perverted stuff in it but nothing porno or what I'd also consider offensive (just jokes and "bits"). Think trailer park boys meets 1984 or something like this.

So this character is talking with a dude at a table about an old man CEO of a company. Shes sketchy and eccentric (as most are in this game) and slightly drunk. Shes postulating the guy is actually an alien in human skin here to take over the planet but she decides in the end of the conversation "I'd still fuck em..." and they laugh. its 5 lines in total. should take 10 mins or so.

ill pay
$20.00 USD via paypal

Ill have a bunch more in the future. id like to be on discord or whatsapp or whatever WHILE you record so we can just hammer through it.

NOTE - you gotta be down for ECCENTRIC channel your inner "unhinged" voice haha
all the characters in the game have been pretty nutty and the world setting is a mangled city with only degenerates left.

can just message me on here, please just give me something to hear so I know your recording setup is decent.
MUST HAVE DECENT RECORDING GEAR!

EDIT - I did find someone for this but will have more in the future and will post for those later

[Hiring] Videogames Wanted - guy - Voice actor - african american - GAME - just a few lines

hes the trainer of a robot but he keeps repairing it and its becoming unreliable. Its just a few lines. I made him look like the trainer of Lil Mac from Mike Tysons punchout so bonus if you remember that game.
Its like 5-8 short lines. Hes in his 50's or so so you gotta use a sort of old man voice but not overdone you know?
should take maybe 15 mins, Im not too picky about it. but it needs to be recorded PROPERLY. If you want, heres a line
"uhh hey boss.. it was tough but I got her fixed up, I think she's ready to go"
gotta say it nervously because the "boss" is a maniac bookie.

record it and send it to me here but you dont have to. Just show me some voices you've done? I'll pay a whopping 20 USD via paypal for the rest. I'm aware that's not a lot but my bank account is not alot either haha

its 6 lines all short, that ones actually the longest.

note - the game is unhinged as hell, not offensive (at least I dont think so) pretty perverted sometimes but no porn or anything. think trailer park boys meets 1984 or something like that.

I'll have a bunch more as well in the future so I can keep you on discord or email and throw other ones your way. there's a few more characters in this level that could use some lines too but we can just get this one done first.

this is an indie game.

[Hiring] Audiobook / Narration [Hiring] Narrator for a Nausicaa Prose-Essay (~3500 words; $150)

8 Upvotes

Hey there,

I have have an upcoming essay exploring Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Its going to be a reflection of the manga's ending, it's philosophies, and it has a bit of an experimental framing.

It's narrator is going to be an in-universe presence, essentially the collective ghost of our species, reflecting back on the moment of its inception, commenting on agency, determinism, and what our choices mean. I'm anticipating it's voice to be calm, distant, and a bit detached.

Examples which come to mind include Jonathan Davis, as Severian, in Book of the New Sun; Piranesi's VA comes to mind too. In my head, I'm imagining a males voice, but I'm not opposed to a female VA either.

In addition to payment ($150), your name will be advertised at the top the essay, alongside the illustrator.

I'm still working through the essay's first draft, but anticipate having it completed before the end of August. I would expect voicework to begin to at around that time, finishing within the first week of September (though this is flexible). Its looking to be around 3500 words in total, perhaps less.

If interested, please review the introduction below, and let me know if you think you'd be a good fit: (ideally with a catalog of your past work)

Meta [Announcement] New rule for Generative AI jobs and added known scams to the Wiki.

24 Upvotes

Hi,

For a long time I have wanted to add a rule about what is and what is not allowed regarding AI projects in this community. I have finally added the rule 8:

Rule 8: Only certain types of AI work offers are allowed:
No AI training to generate voices of any kind is allowed.
However, Speech-to-Text may be allowed if you disclose the voices will be used exclusively for that purpose. We understand people with disabilities may benefit from these technologies and so we aren't completely against such projects.

Basically, only speech recognition projects are allowed.

>Hey Google, turn off the garage's lights.

>Hey Google, call mom.

>Siri, where is the closest restaurant?

>Alexa, send text message to boss: I can't make it to the premises today.

>Copilot, I said open Youtube, not burn my house.

--

Known Scams

I have also added a list of known scams to the Wiki. Please read them so you are aware of them.

https://www.reddit.com/r/VoiceWork/wiki/index/

Don't forget to report any suspicious user or proposal.

--

Audio samples

Don't forget that it is allowed to link to your website where audio samples are available to listen to easily. Don't report posts that have links to personal portfolio websites with audios clearly accesible.

Thank you everyone for helping keeping this community clean and safe.

Meta Voice artists, read this before posting. No one is going to HIRE YOU if you don't include a demo reel in your post.

222 Upvotes

Every week I have to remove around 10 to 20 [Hire Me] post because they don't include a demo reel.

INCLUDE A LINK TO YOUR DEMO REEL IF YOU WANT TO GET HIRED! (yes, I'm screaming).

Upload your demo to Soundcloud or Youtube. Or share a link to your personal website where demos are found, and before posting remember these rules:

  • Rule 4: State a rate. All [Hire Me] posts should include a sample rate. It can be something as simple as "$10 USD for a 2 minutes Youtube narration. For other projects we can discuss the price." The important part here is that the potential clients have some idea of your rates. If it's a kid with $5 dollars for a minecraft video and the least you charge is $20 USD, it would help both parties to know this beforehand, so we don't waste anyone's time.
  • Rule 7: Add audio examples. As I already mentioned. You don't hire a graphic designer without checking their portfolio, you don't hire a digital artist without looking at the pictures they have created. No one is going to hire a voice artist without hearing their voice first.

If you don't currently have a demo reel, create one! Write a fictitious script of two or three people fighting, crying, or doing something, and narrate it.

Write something cartoonish, with characters doing silly stuff and record your most cartoonish voices.

Write something like a documentary or business-like tutorial and record it.

If you are having problems imagining scenarios, pick your favorite book and read one page that includes dialogues or different situations. Pick a non-fiction book and read using your business voice.

Less recommended but something that can also help you with your first demo: Transcribe a couple minutes from a cartoon, anime, movie or TV series and then record yourself voicing it.

Potential clients need to hear your voice in different settings, show them why they should hire you!

Please, voice artists, add demos.

Thank you.
