Voiceover Artist
I recorded another Voiceover for IMS Health today. It's the third I've done for the brand but the first done directly with the producing company. Today's voiceover was a series of Lessons geared for IMS employees regarding the transitions related to a recent merger and how the new merger related to the new vision for the brand. This was very similar to what I did for Collaborare earlier this year.
While this seems like easy money, it can be kind of grueling; not blue-collar dig a ditch grueling, but definitely white-collar grueling. It's hard to talk for 4 straight hours...even for me. Some of the slides in the lessons got pretty technical and long and, while I know it's hard to write about this stuff so it's engaging and accessible to the audience, it's also hard to speak it.
Who am I kidding? To be honest, I make a ridiculous amount of money for this and I'm just starting out. I feel a little guilty that I'm making this kind of money for talking when teachers or social workers are making so little for the important work they do. Still, it's what the market will bear and I love doing it (so I'm not just doing it for the money.)
I could live a nice life on working 6 full days a month with voiceover work. Getting that work consistently is the real challenge; a challenge I'm more and more interested in addressing. Think of what I could do in all that time leftover!
Money aside, today was really satisfying. I got to do something related to what I came to New York for in the first place. And that is always a good day in my book.
