    For the past 10ish years I’ve run a used pro audio gear ebay business as a side hustle. It allows me to try out awesome gear for the studio, sometimes keep it and sell it and make money. I also have done a tiny bit of voiceover work too, I should really try to do more. You’ve encouraged me to try a bit harder at the voiceover thing. Thanks!

    That's great advice. I do VO on the side as well. When you've got the gear, know your stuff, and have a good voice, it's a crime NOT to. Well done!

I have always wanted to be a comedian but i dont like my vibe on camera, this is something i can also excel in. and @therecordist does have a excellent Grammy vocal finish in how he expresses his thoughts, he has become one of my favs. Cheers to you both, and glad to see you still in great spirits after your ordeal.

    When you charge them for commercial or broadcast rights do you have to fill out any paper work or is something they have to do?

    • @pluginhoarder
      @pluginhoarder  12 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      All of that is handled on Fiverr, they just select that option on the order page and it automatically gets added to the order. There is also the ability to add broadcast licenses, for example you could lease the rights for one year. If the client chooses to use the voice over the following year they would need to come back and purchase additional rights.

    Great video thank you for sharing! I see on your Fiverr, you charge $10 per 100 words - so when you say you increased your price 4x, you were charging $2.50 per 100 words, and wording it on your page like that? Im just curious what's a good starting rate/how to approach that. Thanks !

    • @pluginhoarder
      @pluginhoarder  9 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      For singing the Eden wins hands down! For VO I might stick with the clarion. Weight of the tubes sounds great for softer VO’s but I find the clarion to be a better all around fit. That said the clarion doesn’t scratch the surface of the Eden for music, not even close.

    • @pluginhoarder
      @pluginhoarder  9 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      The Clarion is a big upgrade! That said, I like 208 better for TH-cam videos haha I dunno why. Something in the mids that I like for conversational speech. Clarion handles singing and VO way better than the 208.

    Which microphone would you recommend and which plugins for mixing the voice? Thx.

    • @pluginhoarder
      @pluginhoarder  วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think the best affordable mic that will get almost any job done is Lauten LS-208. I also use a U87 and Lauten Clarion, but the 208 wins most of the time and is significantly cheaper.
      For plugins, my current chain is UAD Neve 88RS channel, Weiss De-esser, fab filter pro q 4, toneboosters compressor and Oxford inflator. My chain changes often though. I’ll be making some VO vocal chain videos soon 🙏

    • @pluginhoarder
      @pluginhoarder  วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      It’s all in the cadence. When doing advertisements clients are usually extremely specific about timing and feel. ai still falls short on the feeling side so many companies still opt for humans. As far as e-learning and voicemail VO work, that has almost been entirely replaced by AI.

    I will NEVER understand the AAA VO biz, the "cartoons should have hollywood celeb voices". Sure, make chrispratt the voice of Mario, he has nothing to do with Mario or the voice and he's already rich as hell. While lots of talented young uns are waiting for their turn.
