Anyone know anything about VOICE ACTING?

Question

Hey im a 15 year old girl in high school and im interested in one day becoming a voice actor. I dont know everything about it but im just wondering 1) how to start off in the career like my education and what classes to take in college and 2) how to get the job like if i should ask people if they need a voice actor or ect.

Thanks i just need help on how this whole career works and the how-to-get- there business

Answer 1

Im not a professional on the matter, so dont take this as law. My vocal impressions teacher once told me that in order to be a great actor, you must be able to change your accent. Which means you need to get rid of any accent you currently have. Like I said, Im not an expert but I would suggest the first thing to do would be to take speech classes and learn to speak without an accent and then later classes to learn how to speak with multiple accents.
