Yes. That thing we as Americans are practically forbidden from talking about. By our jobs, by our parents, by society. "It's rude!" everybody says. Work tells us its a breach of ethics. They just don't want people to be able to say "this person does the same job as I do, and I would like the same compensation." I don't mean between sexes,

By selling recordings of yourself reading stories, you very well could be setting yourself up for copyright infringement litigation, assuming you didn't get permission from the publishing house and/or the author first.

But that does sound like a fine idea. No idea how you'd market it, though, short of selling them on a card table on the street.

^^Agreed. But you have full access to my studio if you need.

And the secret shopper thing...I've heard it's a scam. Many of them you have to pay to get into a registry, then you maybe get a job every blue moon, and you only make a few bucks off it, like five or ten. There might be a better one out there, though.
