Your voice can earn real money, but what does a voice-over career actually look like, and how much can a professional voice actor make?
We sit down with Heike Bachmann, a German voice-over artist based in New York, to go inside the business of professional voice-over work. Heike explains what the job really involves, from reading scripts with precise time codes to dubbing, lip-syncing, commercials, cartoons, museum audio tours, corporate narration, and medical voice-over work.
Heike also shares the unlikely story of how she landed her first voice-over job and turned it into a successful 30-year voice-over career.
We break down voice-over pay and earnings, including what beginners can charge, how commercial usage fees can reach thousands of dollars, and how auditions, agents, online casting platforms, and remote home studios have changed the business.
And then there’s AI. Heike explains how AI voice cloning and synthetic voices are already affecting professional voice actors, why contracts and voice rights matter, and where she believes the industry is headed.
If you’re wondering how to become a voice actor, how much voice-over artists make, what equipment you need to start, or whether voice-over is still a viable career in the age of AI, this conversation gives you a firsthand look at the money, skills, opportunities, and realities behind the microphone.

About the host: Mirav Ozeri has always been drawn to storytelling and journalism, especially the stories of everyday people.
In the 90’s She founded her own video production company, producing, directing, and editing documentaries and videos for political organizations which led to a 17-year career at CBS News, where she served as a producer/editor, helped launch CBS MarketWatch, and later worked as a senior editor and segment producer until the program was acquired by Dow Jones.
During her years at CBS, Mirav developed and produced a television pilot built around a simple idea: giving people an honest look at what different careers are really like. Although the pilot was never picked up, the concept stayed with her. Years later, she brought it back as How Much Can I Make?, a podcast that explores real jobs, real stories, and the many paths people take to build a career.
