Voice over mehak
About the Company
VoiceOverMehak was established by Sandeep Salwan in 2015 as a voice-over marketplace that connects clients with voice talents worldwide. Based in New Delhi, India, the company provides voice-over services in various languages, catering to a global clientele. The company’s primary objective is to offer high-quality voice-over projects, ensuring clients benefit significantly from their products and services. VoiceOverMehak does not charge joining fees or take commissions from voice talents, which has become a unique selling proposition (USP) in the market. The business has steadily grown and nearly reached $100,000 in revenue in 2022, with expectations for further growth.
Idea Behind Company
Sandeep Salwan’s journey into voice acting began in his childhood when he enjoyed impersonating others and experimenting with different vocal tones. Although his academic background was in medical science due to his father's influence, Salwan was always drawn to voice acting. His freelance work as a voice actor led him to realize the potential of a voice-over marketplace, especially when clients sought various voice talents. This inspired him to establish VoiceOverMehak, leveraging his ability to identify and cast the right voices for different projects. The idea matured over time as Salwan observed the industry's needs and recognized the opportunity to serve both clients and voice talents on a global scale.
Creating the Company
Salwan initially managed VoiceOverMehak while working full-time at a national television channel. He designed the company’s first website using free online resources, relying on his computer applications background. The website was built using pre-installed HTML templates, and although the process was relatively smooth, managing large audio files posed a challenge. The first recording studio for the company was developed at a cost of $8,000. Balancing his day job and business development was challenging, but Salwan persisted, gradually building the infrastructure and network necessary for the business. The experience gained from his early projects provided a clear direction for the company’s growth.
Launching the Business
Launching VoiceOverMehak involved overcoming various technical and logistical challenges, including testing, server reliability, and handling large audio files. The company's first major client was Hero Group, an international two-wheeler manufacturer, for which VoiceOverMehak produced a TV commercial aired across South Asia. Initially, Salwan relied on local business directories and freelancing websites to find clients, though these methods yielded mixed results. Over time, the company developed a more effective strategy, hiring a freelance SEO team to attract clients directly through search engine optimization. This approach eventually led to significant long-term clients, such as Mccann and T-Series, which expanded the company’s reach into multiple languages.
Earnings
VoiceOverMehak has experienced steady growth since its launch, earning close to $100,000 annually by 2022. The company has also seen success in attracting and retaining clients, thanks to its commitment to high-quality service and competitive pricing. Salwan attributes much of the company’s success to learning from established competitors like Voices.com and Voicebunny.com, which helped him refine his business model. The company now handles 50-70 leads per day, with a 15% conversion rate, and continues to expand its services, including targeting new markets such as the United States. With a YouTube channel boasting over 34,000 subscribers and ongoing investments in Google Ads, VoiceOverMehak is poised for further growth, including plans to branch into feature film voice casting.
