NASA engineer turns voiceover side hustle into $227,000 business
Eryn Andrews needed two hundred dollars a month for her daughter.
The short version
- She built a bedroom closet studio for corporate voiceover work.
- The side hustle brought in two hundred twenty-seven thousand dollars this year.
- That is a massive return on a simple evening job.
Eryn Andrews wanted to earn an extra $200 a month to help pay for her daughter's treatments, turning a small voiceover side hustle into a business that has generated more than $227,000 in earnings so far in 2026, according to The Economic Times.
Eryn Andrews, who works as a NASA engineer, records corporate voiceovers from a makeshift studio built right inside her bedroom closet while she also pursues character roles in video games. The side job started small with simple audio recordings between engineering shifts.
Then the client list grew. Soon the microphone setup in the clothes closet was pulling in steady corporate accounts. For anyone working a late shift or trying to clear a monthly medical bill, seeing a side project explode into a six-figure business is quite a sight.
It is proof that a spare hour after the kids are asleep can sometimes outpace the day job. Check your own garage or spare room. You might be sitting on the next big side hustle.
