Tariffs are here. Will they impact the voice over industry? I didn't bring J.

Every so often I have a conversation with a voice actor who introduces me to genre of voice over I had never really considered before. That happened with Rafael Neve when he reached out with an idea for the podcast. Rafael has built a thriving, full-time income to support himself and his family from YouTube Dubbing. He even hired his mother to work with him he's so busy! In this in-depth conversation, Rafael pulls back the curtain on all the potential Youtube Dubbing offers. He holds nothing back with advice for differentiating yourself from other talent in the space, how to find the work, who to collaborate with and so much more.

Being bilingual adds significant value in localization and voice over work. Combining skills like audio engineering enhances the service offered to clients. Customer service and building relationships are crucial in the voice over industry. Networking through platforms like Discord can lead to unexpected opportunities. Preparation is key to recognizing and seizing opportunities when they arise. Dubbing requires creativity to match mouth movements and translations. Being a one-stop solution can streamline the dubbing process. Many content creators are unaware of the potential for dubbing their work. The demand for localized content is increasing across platforms. AI may assist in dubbing but cannot replicate human emotion and cultural nuances. Networking in the right communities can lead to more dubbing opportunities. Voice actors must continuously adapt to remain relevant. Protecting creative work is essential in the age of AI.
