Segun Arinze, a veteran actor, has disclosed how he made his first N1,000 in 1987, at the age of 21.
The actor claimed he made the money from a voice-over industry he got from ace and renowned broadcaster Soni Irabor.
The 58-year-old actor, who spoke about his debut into the voice-over industry, revealed that Irabor introduced him to voice acting.
During a recent interview with Biola Bayo on the ‘TalktoB’ podcast, Arinze, who began his career as a musician, fondly remembered being paid N1,000 for his first voice-over assignment in the late 1980s.
“Soni Irabor walks in someday and he was looking for voice-over artiste. There was nobody around that day then he heard me speak,” he said.
“Then he said ‘You can do the voice’ Really? I cannot, he said ‘Yes, you can and I will see what you do’. And I did the voice-over. He paid me N1000. That was 1987. N1000 for just doing (voice-over). I said this is big. Coloured TV was N500 at that time.”
He also revealed that his father opposed him studying performing arts at university because he wanted him to become a lawyer.
