Recently, a mother was looking for a good voice on the Internet to help her child read stories in Dutch. She found it interesting, so she helped her boyfriend apply. Because I didn’t know the market conditions, the two parties couldn’t negotiate the price. Although no deal was concluded, I discovered that there might be demand for the voice on the Internet. In the future, when voice searches and YouTube videos become more and more popular, private business may also begin to grow, because more and more companies or people need endorsements from voice actors.
Dutch sound sales platform
Perhaps I wanted God to hear my reverie, and within a few days I discovered [this interesting Dutch company](https://www.voicebooking.com/nl/?___store=nl&___from_store=en&utm_campaign=00.01+Search+ -+NL+-+Voicebooking+-+brand+-+RCom&utm_term=voicebooking&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_ver=3&hsa_grp=10695435462&hsa_ kw=voicebooking&hsa_tgt=kwd-23452179508&hsa_mt=e&hsa_acc=1227686580&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ad=265160379532&hsa_src=g&hsa_cam=618 251038&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2L7jBRCBARIsAPeAsaNwluio2BUdTUkYcTUf7IM_UZe3WZIbo3f8e3VmzKzfEs1ISK-Fy1gaAlz-EALw_wcB), they specialize in helping voice actors sell their voices. What’s even more amazing is that you can find voice actors in various languages on their website, including Chinese ones. Click on it to listen to the super professional-level voices.
Such a good voice is not cheap. The pricing range is 1 euro for one word up to 250 words. The higher the number of words, the cheaper it will be. After 1,000 words, it will be 1 euro for two words. In addition, other services can also be added, such as special sound effects, or assistance in editing articles into stories, etc. For a fee, you can hire a voice actor to speak for you online.
Future trends in audio content
Voice plays an increasingly important role on social networks, says Jente, CEO of voicebooking Kater mentioned the latest trend of voice content in this article, pointing out that the past era of just sending text messages or making phone calls has passed. In the future, more and more people will send video and audio short videos to relatives and friends to communicate emotions, or to corporate clients for promotion or negotiation.
Local entrepreneurs in the Netherlands have already opened [some courses] on Instagram (https://www.ad.nl/ad-werkt/lekker-laagdrempelig-een-cursus-via-instagram-volgen~a999445e/). This reminds me of micro-classes, which have been popular for a while. This trend shows that the form of communication in social software in the future will no longer just be typed in text, but will expand to include sounds and images. Therefore, in the past, the era when we used text and flat photos to shape our image and brand will gradually transform into using audio and video to present it, such as this [airline advertisement](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=8XNxZh9_YN0https://ww w.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=8XNxZh9_YN0), or this Personalized Video Message.
In addition, E-learning is an industry worthy of attention in the development of the Western Internet. Many platforms established many years ago have now grown to a point where more and more users are learning through those platforms. These platforms often require dubbing. For example, some courses on the Udemy website are completely dubbed (https://www.udemy.com/). AR and VR games are another industry in great need of voice actors.
Good voices create brand value
A good voice can really create a good image for a company or brand, so hiring a good voice is really important. Especially in an era when the Internet is gradually replacing television, to make your brand stand out, you must find a good voice.
Going back to the mother who initially searched for a good voice for her child on the Internet, I have not done any research on the children’s book market, but I guess that many children’s books in the future will be presented on the Internet, right? The buying and selling sound really sounds like a good business!
