AI-Assisted Voiceover Production

Create narrated explainers with licensed voices and approved scripts.

Time: 3–10 hrs/week

Overview

Produce short narrations for businesses, courses or accessibility projects. AI speech tools speed up drafts, but the value is in scripting, pronunciation, timing and audio review. Use only voices with the right commercial licence and never imitate a real person without explicit permission. Revenue depends on the number and length of projects; estimates are gross.

Step-by-step action plan

1. 1
   Choose a narrow deliverable

   Offer short training narration or product explainers with a defined word count, file format and revision policy.

2. 2
   Check voice rights

   Review the tool's commercial terms and get written consent for any custom voice; do not clone celebrities, staff or clients without permission.

3. 3
   Prepare a clean script

   Confirm facts, names, acronyms and pronunciation with the client before generating audio.

4. 4
   Produce and listen through

   Edit pacing and pauses, normalize levels, and check every sentence for mispronunciations or missing words.

5. 5
   Deliver with approval

   Send the audio and script for sign-off, note usage rights in your agreement and retain files only as long as agreed.
