We want your voice talent!
We’re always on the hunt for fresh, new voice performers, and our casting staff listens to every single demo that we receive. Together with our clients, we want you to be able to do one thing and do it very well, and that’s to be a voice actor.
It’s not so much the sound of one’s voice we’re looking for, but the delivery. It should be normal, real and sound like a believable person. In addition to being a voice actor, there are a few nuts and bolts you’ll need too. You must have your own home studio, a good microphone, Source Connect Standard or Pro, or live within reasonable driving distance of Virginia Beach.
If you feel like you aren’t ready for prime time yet, and would like to learn more about improving or becoming a voice-over talent, please see our Voice-Over Resources page for helpful tips.
In order to be considered for placement on the Earworks talent roster, you must:
Have your own Source Connect equipped home studio setup, OR live within reasonable driving distance of Virginia Beach, Virginia with reliable transportation. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE IF YOU HAVE SOURCE CONNECT, YOU DON’T. Please come back and try again when you do.
Have a considerable amount of professional experience behind a microphone and in front of clients*.
Have an up-to-date demo available to upload in MP3 format (You will attach your demo at the bottom of the form. Applications submitted without a demo will not be accepted).
Be able to sight-read scripts with a basic understanding of the type of read required.
Be a voice actor!!
Be able to record and email professional quality mp3 auditions from your home studio with very quick turnaround.
Be available for sessions the greater part of the 9-5:30 EST / Monday thru Friday workweek.
Be able to return calls, emails, and/or text messages very promptly (within the hour).
Have a professional attitude, strong work ethic and a pleasant demeanor.
*Of course, there will be the occasional exception to #2. If you have little or no voice-over experience, but have acting experience and a fantastic demo, Earworks may still consider you. However, all other requirements MUST be met.

Start Your Audiobook Career.
Choose the books you want to audition for! Through ACX, you can find an unlimited number of potential acting gigs, and the audiobooks you produce will be available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.
Choose how you’d like to get paid for your narration work:
Your own per-finished-hour rate, paid upon successful completion of the audiobook.
Share royalties from sales with the Rights Holder.
On ACX, an Audiobook Narrator is Also an Audiobook Producer.
Follow our Video Lessons and Resources to learn how to set up a home studio then edit and master your audiobook before it goes up for sale. Or find a studio professional to help out with the recording, editing, and mastering.
Here’s How It Works:
Step 1. Create a Profile
Sign up on ACX and create a profile that details your acting and audiobook experience.
Step 2. Upload Samples
Tag an unlimited number of samples in your Profile, based on accents, genre, and style. The more audio samples you include, the easier it is for authors to find you.
Step 3. How do you want to get paid?
Choose a per-finished-hour rate, or choose to share 50% of royalties. If you’re unsure, choose both.
Step 4. Audition
Search for books you’re interested in narrating and producing, and record a few minutes of the manuscript. If you’re the Rights Holder’s top choice, you’ll receive an Offer.
Step 5. Accept the Offer
When a Rights Holder makes you an Offer, agree on delivery dates for the first 15 minutes of audio and the final audiobook, and payment terms.
Step 6. Start Recording
Record, edit, and upload the a 15 minute checkpoint of the audiobook, which the Rights Holder will approve or provide feedback. When the sample is approved, record the remainder of the project.
Step 7. Work with Other Studio Professionals
To create a professional audiobook, you may want the guidance of other audiobook experts. If you need to hire one, or more, we have Independent Contractor Agreements you may use.
Step 8. Finish the Recording
Upload each completed chapter of the audiobook to meet our Audio Submission Requirements and Production Standard Terms. Before payment, the Rights Holder must approve the full audiobook, and has the right to request changes.
Step 9. Get Paid
If you and the Rights Holder agreed on a Pay for Production fee, you will be paid directly by the Rights Holder. If you produced the audiobook as a Royalty Share deal, then you’ll be paid based on 50% of the royalties on sales.
Step 10. Come back for more
ACX has tons of books waiting to be turned into audiobooks, so keep auditioning! If you’re highly experienced narrator with at least 25 audiobook credits, apply to be an Audible Approved Producer.
