Students are always looking for work, and the main criteria are usually pay and flexibility. Put those two together and voice-over stands out, because it's a job you can balance alongside your studies.

A voice-over artist is the voice behind commercials, cartoons and much more. They voice automated phone systems and read the announcements you hear at airports and train stations. More recently, new fields have opened up, such as narrating audiobooks and recording shows, not for radio, but as podcasts.
