Hackettstown entrepreneur grows her voice-over business
Susan Manhire
What do Skylands Pharmacy, WRNJ Radio, Highlights Hair Salon and Tri-County Federal Credit Union all have in common? They have used the voice of local entrepreneur Susan Manhire to speak to their customers.
Her voice has been described as sophisticated, articulate, conversational, upbeat and believable. These and other vocal qualities explain why Manhire’s voice-over business has done so well. She has worked for some of the world’s biggest brands including Amazon Kindle, The Food Network, McGraw-Hill Publishing and Bayer Pharmaceuticals.
Manhire started doing voice work 16 years ago. Because she is a licensed optician and runs a small optical business with her husband, voice-overs remained a part-time endeavor until 2008. At that time Manhire decided that she wanted to invest more time in her voice-over career and started to look for ways to build her clients base.
After asking around and doing online research she found Voices.com, the online marketplace that connects voice-over talents with businesses that need their services. Using this platform, Manhire was able to connect with clients from all over the world. The ability to review job postings for paid work and submit custom auditions from her professional-grade home studio helped her increase business by 80%. The educational resources on the site
