Before purchasing ANY Royalty-Free music, there are a few things that any buyer needs to consider.

First, is how will the music you are going to use fit into your overall business. This is important, because there are different types of licenses available.

For example, if you’re a developer of many different products, then chances are you’ll want a comprehensive library of Royalty-Free music. This might be a catalog which includes music from many genres and styles. The downside to buying a catalog or package like this, is that literally everyone else (your competitors included) can buy the same music.

Although significantly more expensive, an exclusive license is an alternative. In the case of an exclusive license, you’ll be the only internet marketer who will ever use that specific music in any product.

A third option (which is priced in-between the two), is a custom written track, but there’s no exclusive license attached to it. So although the music will be produced to your specific requirements, the writer will then have the freedom to include the track in a future library.

Cranking out fresh content for your subscribers and customers can be a daunting task.

Everything from podcasting, to interviews, and web site greetings to audio e-books. One question often asked, is whether or not a person should do their OWN voice overs or whether they should hire a professional voice over artist.

If you have decided you’ll be doing your own, then today’s post is just for you! I’ll be answering some of the common questions that people ask about launching a new career as a voice over artist.

Transferable Skills

What types of skills are transferable to becoming a successful voice over artist?

Although it may be obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning that it begins with the voice.  Some of your past experience might make this an easy transition.  Ideally you would have some past experience at PUBLIC SPEAKING (into a microphone).  Here are some examples: radio announcers, musicians, vocalists, teachers, public speakers, trainers, podcasters, and so forth.

The common element in all of these careers is that you already have a command of your voice, understand voice projection and have a clear command of your language.

What do I do if I don’t have any experience?

If you don’t yet have any experience, consider joining your local chapter of toastmasters.  Although your speeches aren’t typically recorded, it will provide you with invaluable public speaking experience.

Software Required for Voice Overs

Prior to purchasing expensive recording software, yes it’s a good idea to start with the free audio editors.  As you gain more experience your wish list will grow also, and you’ll learn what other features you would like to have.
