【推荐2】Li Shiin, 30, didn’t expect to make a living through his voice.

Li began to work as a company salesman in Liaoning Province in 2012. He tried to find a part-time job as a wedding host to improve his confidence.

Around the Spring Festival in 2014, he started listening to audiobooks. After being a listener for two years, he decided to record himself reading books. Then, he posted his first audiobook Youth Will Not Return on Qingting in 2016. It was broadcast and listened to about 20 million times.

A year later, after he had read three audiobooks, he was signed up as a voice performer by Qingting. However, he was under great pressure when he was signed up by Qingting. “To improve my ability, I didn’t sleep for more than five hours a day during that year. I had better results the following year.”Also, to improve his performance, Li attended a training course at Communication University of China to learn dubbing and how to write a play in 2018. So far, he has completed nearly 30 works on Qingting.

On the road to success, Li put in a lot of effort. Many people tried to get a foothold but failed, while he made it!

When talking about the secret of his success, he said, “Many people have good abilities and many work very hard, but they may fail. Early birds get worms. I believe they will get chances and succeed sooner or later if they hold on to their dreams and keep on trying.”
