In recent years, with the development of the film and television, animation, game industries and the exposure of related variety shows, many voice actors have gone from behind the scenes to the front, and the dubbing industry has gradually attracted attention.
Recently, on some social platforms and WeChat public accounts, there have been a large number of advertisements about dubbing side business and dubbing part-time, which claim that ordinary people can make money by dubbing on a mobile phone after learning, with low threshold and high income. Is this really the case?

Online dubbing express training routines are more "training loans" are difficult to refund "income over 10,000" is difficult to achieve
On some social platforms and WeChat public accounts, many advertisements about dubbing side business and dubbing part-time claim that the original price of more than 200 yuan of high-quality dubbing courses is now priced at one yuan, and ordinary people can make money by dubbing on a mobile phone after learning. In order to find out, the reporter purchased a one-dollar course, and in the first half of the course, the trainers introduced some basic techniques of dubbing, and then began to emphasize the broad prospects of dubbing part-time.
The trainer said that the dubbing part-time job is very profitable and the threshold is low, but if you want to make money, you must train with him. The training courses are taught online, divided into broadcast classes, dubbing classes and all-round classes, with tuition ranging from more than 5,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan, and if they do not have enough money, they can also provide loans.
An online dubbing training course instructor: I know that today there are also many student parties, bao mom to listen to the teacher's class, everyone's life pressure is relatively large, more tight, there is no way to pay in full, then the teacher applied for a green student aid channel for everyone, today in the classroom registration of students, we do not have to pay in full, we can handle installments, tuition can be divided into 12 periods, each period is only about 500 yuan.
The reporter searched on multiple complaint platforms and found that there were hundreds of complaints about such dubbing crash courses, many of which were about "inducing loans and refunding difficulties". The complainant said that after registration, he found problems such as "the quality of the recorded courses is average" and "arbitrarily changing the class time".
Consumer Xiaoyuan: They told me that I could work part-time after learning this thing, but I kept telling him that I had no money, and then they asked me to take out a loan according to their requirements, a total of 5153 yuan, and I had to pay back 431 yuan every month. I didn't take a single class of their class, and the tuition fee was not refunded.
Industry insiders said that although there are more and more dubbing jobs on the Internet, it is not without thresholds. Taking the Himalaya sound production platform as an example, the resident must use professional equipment to record, do not accept mobile phone recording, and are graduates of broadcast hosting, dubbing and other related majors, or more than 1 year of broadcasting and commercial distribution experience. The so-called one thousand yuan an hour, relying on part-time work can easily earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is simply unrealistic.
Dubbing has a threshold for newcomers to get started easily
For many dubbing enthusiasts, learning dubbing in their spare time can not only increase some income, but also realize their dreams, which seems to be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. But it is precisely this kind of thinking that can easily make some people fall into the advertising trap of online dubbing crash courses. So, what are the formal ways for people who really want to enter the dubbing industry?
Han Jiaying is a graduate of the broadcast hosting major, because she loves the two-dimensional culture, she gave her career plan to become a "voice actor". After two years of study and practice, she began to receive some voice comics and mini-games.
Voice actor Han Jiaying: At the beginning, I went to a weekend class, and I went to class for 8 weeks, which was 9800 yuan. If you want to enter a deeper level of study, it is a full-time class, a full three months, 12800 yuan.
Industry insiders told reporters that the dubbing industry seems to have a low threshold, but it actually requires professional learning and systematic training practice. Since only a small number of colleges and universities currently offer dubbing majors, some studios led by well-known voice actors in the industry have begun to develop training courses.
During the visit, voice actor Ji Guanlin told reporters that for newcomers who really want to enter the dubbing industry, after laying the foundation through the training class, they must also have the opportunity to become the reserve talents of the studio and learn and practice with the studio for two to three years. In the initial stage, there are not many opportunities for new people, and the income is relatively low.
The rise of the second dimension broadens the dubbing market And it is urgent to form an industrial chain
It is not easy for newcomers to enter the industry, and it is even rarer to get to the tip of the pyramid. From online matching to well-known dubbing, this is actually the process of gradually professionalizing the entire industry from amateurization. What is the current change in the dubbing industry, and what are the future prospects?
Peng Yao is a professional voice actor who has voiced the male protagonists of many film and television dramas, and today he wants to update his voice library and audition for the next anime characters. He told reporters that during the epidemic this year, the film and television industry has been greatly impacted, but his workload and income have basically not decreased.
Professional voice actor Peng Yao: I have recorded a book of more than 100,000 words at home, and I have also taken on a lot of radio dramas, and there may be four or five this year. These other jobs have been made up, and the loss of film and television drama dubbing may have a hedging effect relatively speaking.
The radio dramas and audiobooks that Peng Yao talked about are paid audio products that have risen rapidly in the past two years. Unlike the traditional dubbing industry, which only revolves around imported films, cartoons and film and television drama services. In recent years, the increase in domestic secondary content, the outbreak of the game market, and the hot sales of paid audio products have made the demand for dubbing services surge in the market.
Market demand has increased, and the income level and bargaining power of voice actors have gradually increased. It is understood that the dubbing price of the head voice actor film and television drama on the market is currently 3000-5000 yuan / episode, and the game dubbing can reach 2000 yuan a sentence; and paid audio products such as audio books and radio dramas, in addition to the recording cost, after the program is launched, the voice actor or dubbing studio can also participate in the share according to the subscription amount.
Du Yuanzhi, co-founder and CEO of Guansheng Culture: The volume of the entire market will be about 400-500 million user scale, listening to pure sound works, many people because of voice actors to play a role in the IP, although it is pure sound, but everyone is willing to pay for it. From last year to this year, the volume growth of the entire industry is very obvious.
