What are the statistics on average earnings for voice actors in their first year as described by Gabrielle Nistico?

Hi, I’m Gabrielle Nistico from . How can I help?

Gabrielle breaks it down this way when you are working full-time in voiceover (not a student, actually pursuing VO as your job):

• A first-year voice actor is typically looking at $20,000 or less per year on average.
• That number is intentionally conservative because your career needs time to ramp up and there are a lot of variables and opportunities that can shift income up or down.

Are you asking because you are planning your first-year budget or just trying to understand industry potential?
