I used Voice 123 as my major source of VO income . Unfortunately , because I was both working a parttime job and going to school and recording audiobooks on the side , I didn ' t end up making much of a profit . I think I broke even or made a hundred or so over my sunken cost . I simply didn ' t have the time to sink into pursuing those projects all the time . As far as pursuing direct work , that ' s a great idea if you live in a location where there is work to be had . I live in a bit of a flyover area so the direct work here is minuscule , if that . It ' s a good way to make some money if you have the time to be constantly pursuing it . <| sep |> If it proves successful in China I hope they stick these all over America near congested intersections . I mean a lot of the traffic nightmare areas can ' t be fixed without bulldozing peoples ' homes but it ' d certainly make it a lot more pleasant if it didn ' t also pollute the hell out of the neighborhood .
