Working as a Voice Actor

I just did some math and came to the conclusion that I can make way more on Fiverr than on vdc.

The math:

Yearly cost for VDC is $399

A decent conversion rate for VDC is 2%

An audition takes around 10 min 50 auditions for a gig= 500 min (8.3 hours)

Most gigs on VDC range between $100-$350

Average time to produce a gig is about .5 hours 9 hours of work = $100-$500

Average dollars per hour = $11 - $55 (minus $399 subscription fee)

Cost for Fiverr is nothing

Time auditioning is nothing

My average Fiverr gig is about $50

Average time to produce a gig is about .5 hours

My average gigs per day is 3 1.5 hours of work = $150

Average dollars per working hour = $100

Now, this is just putting the two platforms against each other. This doesn't include all the other direct marketing efforts that we all do. Most importantly...don't shoot the messenger.
