NEW YORK, Dec. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- One of Hollywood's lesser known acting roles, but one of the most lucrative, continues to become more obtainable to everyday folk thanks to online voice over website, The Voice Realm.

The website connects clients who are in need of a professional voice. These audio recordings are then used for anything from phone voicemail messages, audiobooks, internet videos to radio and television commercials.
And many of the voices you hear on these recordings could be your next door neighbor.
Spare bedrooms and basements across the country are being converted into recording studios that can produce the same broadcast quality recordings, which in decades gone by, would have cost hundreds of dollars for an hour's rental. Voice over rates have fallen, and become more affordable to everyone, due to increased competition and recording equipment becoming less expensive.
Tina Saunders, talent agent at The Voice Realm, says that the industry is moving online at such a high speed that they are having trouble keeping up. "Previously a voice over agency in New York City for example would service clients in that area, but now with online voice casting website, we are servicing clients all over the globe. So we may have a French client looking for a Turkish voice, and many times they need the recording back that day. A decade ago that would have been almost impossible to make happen. Now it is possible even within a few hours."
One voice actor who has had ongoing success finding voice over jobs online is Rachael West who records from her home in Colorado. "The Voice Realm is faster and easier to use than most other sites I've experienced. I've had the opportunity to be exposed to some great opportunities with fun clients and really nice paying voice over jobs."
Even though recording equipment is becoming more affordable, many people are quickly deflated when they realize that competition for roles is tough. Many voice over talent may audition for hundreds of roles only to land one.
Saunders elaborates, "Most assume that the job is purely reading text from a bit of paper, but people forget about the 'acting' part of the job title. The voice actor's role is to tell a story and create emotion purely through the voice. Before the word's even come out the mouth there's the direction that the client is looking for which must be creatively processed before being articulated using nuances and subtle voice inflections."
The Voice Realm paid out over $1.2 million to voice actors in 2014 which was up 12% on the previous year.
The site can be accessed by anyone needing a professional voice at any hour of the day 365 days a year at http://www.thevoicerealm.com
