You're forgetting to include some of the steps that these types of sites require. You didn't mention that you need to upload your voice samples to the site that are showcased in your profile. I can't speak for this "voice" site but at others I was referred to in the past they would offer FREE profile where you can contact limited number of those looking for "voice" work and they try to get you to signup to recurring monthly plan with no or higher contact limits. So for this method to work one must have a really good voice that people would want to pay money for. If you don't have it you will not succeed at all. Once you create your account you can spend XX days contacting others and offering your services before anyone agrees. You can also don't contact anyone and hope that someone will find you on their own but remember there will be thousands of profiles like yours.

While this method can certainly work for very few individuals but it is not as easy as you paint it. Just because someone speaks English it doesn't mean there are people who would 100% pay them for their voices. As with any other service there will be professionals & amateurs offering same thing. With zero voice experience people will not be able to compete with experienced profiles on the site even if you lower your rates. If someone wants to hire someone to narrate a book for them they want to make sure that customers purchasing this audio book would enjoy listening to it. If they visit ACX profile of established voice actor for $60/hour and they see your new profile with zero experience for $30/hour guess which account they will pick?

I'm also not sure where you're getting $400 for 45 mins of work from. It says you have to post your desired hourly rate on your profile and audition for work to be accepted. What author in their right mind would accept your audition if your profile lists $400/45 mins? Are there absolutely nobody else offering to narrate for $20/hour? An average fiction book can be 500 pages and person can read out loud maybe 20 or less pages per hour which is 25 hours of reading. You're claiming for your method that there are authors who can afford 25 hours x $533/hour (your $400/15 translated into hourly) which translates to $13,325 for narration of entire book.

Can someone make money from this method - yes, can most peope make money from this method as exaggerated by OP - no.

GREAT finding OP, as usual, there are the naysayers that no matter what you share is never enough, is never easy enough, free enough, quickly enough or paying enough, this is just like any other methods, you need to implement it, see if it is good for you, tweak it, test different things, etc... but this is a GREAT opportunity OP, cheers.

He said easy money... he never said.. FREE money... I see it "easy" as in reachable for a larger group of people with very little skills other than speaking English, this is way easier than many other methods... post other ways to make $400/hour that require fewer skills, please... there are a lot of people who will be happy to know them.

Do they accept "Tarzan" English?

If they accept my English , everyone on BHW will become eligible for sure.

OP

Interesting share for sure, at least people can give this a try and then decide if it earns them money.

@krishnaverma I recently watched a tv show about Jeremy Clarkson and his farm. He has an English guy called Gerald who is a real country bumpkin and needed a translator, as I couldn't understand a word he said.

English is not my first language,so i don't think this is gonna work for me

can i speak English in my Language?
