Hello All
Has anyone reading this had any experience doing voice work in China? During my time in Korea, I recorded several tests, GPS English for a company making navigation systems, and some storybooks.
I was wondering what the demand in China might be?
Thanks |

There is quite a bit of demand for it in China, but it can be a hard market to get into. Since you've got a portfolio of work, it could be easier for you.
In Beijing you can get voice work that starts at RMB 600/hour. The pros are earning four to five times that. |

I've done some here. I've done textbook recordings, commercials and some random stuff like store and elevator announcements.
As El Macho said though, it is a difficult market to get into. You need to have a connection. |

I'm doing some now, but I wasn't looking, they sought me out. I wouldn't know where to look to find any. Too bad, pays pretty good. |

I have a Chinese-Canadian friend who does this. From what I can tell, it is very lucrative. That said, being able to speak Chinese to find these jobs pays off. One of the few jobs where looks do not matter. |
