This 31-year-old quit her job, lives in a bus and makes $15,000 a month doing voiceovers: I 'work less and make the same amount.' (via CNBCMakeIt)
Alice Everdeen, 31, has made almost $215,000 from voiceover work since joining Fiverr in March 2020.When Alice Everdeen started freelancing as a voiceover artist in March 2020, she worked under a laundry basket lined with a mattress topper.
Everdeen says advertising agencies gravitated to her voice, which she describes as "warm" and "inviting." Her next four months of freelance work continued to match her full-time job's income — so she decided to quit and pursue voiceover work more fully in July 2020. Her earnings have largely gone toward renovating a new office: a refurbished school bus that Everdeen and her boyfriend bought for $7,500 at a local auction to fulfill their dream of traveling of traveling the country.Everdeen's first voiceover gig wasn't planned.
Everdeen and her boyfriend are moving into a refurbished school bus to tour the U.S. in September. On the bus, Everdeen will have a portable ISO box to record in.It took Everdeen a couple of months to become comfortable recording voiceovers full-time, she says. She was competing directly against seasoned actors who voiced popular cartoon characters, and as impostor syndrome set in, she sought out voice coaches who charged roughly $150 per hour to teach her voiceover basics.
She says they didn't want to spend the rest of their lives behind desks, and bought the bus because it was larger than a van and easier to customize than an RV. "We feel like we've made it as adults by our standards," Everdeen says. "We want to follow our dreams rather than we're told we should do."
