Li Shijin, 30, didn’t expect to make a living( 谋生 )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( 婚礼主持人 )to improve his confidence.
Around the Spring Festival in 2014, he started listening to audiobooks( 音频书 ). After being a listener for two years, he decided to record himself reading books. Then, he posted his first audio book Youth Will Not Return on Qingting in 2016. It was broadcast( 广播 )and listened to about 20 million times.
A year later, after he had read three audiobooks, he was signed up( 签约 )as a voice performer by Qingting. But 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, in order to develop his performance, Li attended a training course at Communication University of China. So far, he has completed nearly 30 works on Qingting.
On the road to success, Li put a lot of effort. When talking about the secret to 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.”
