voice over acting

OK Here's the situation. I have been thinking of doing graphic design for almost three years now. Doing it meaning pursuing it as a career. BUT recently i have been reverting back to what i wanted to do before it, Voice over acting. Voice over is a kind of acting where you're not in front of a camera, but a microphone instead. If you have ever watched cartoons, you are LISTENING to voice over. It's what gives cartoon characters personality...well except steamboat willie but that's before this was probably even considered. Ha ha. Anyways. I watch a lot of anime....and i find it so fascinating that different characters can be played by one person. The person who plays Ichigo from Bleach for example also plays the third exam proctor in Naruto (Naruto vs. Neji; Sasuke vs. gaara, etc.). I think that's amazing ^_^. But also to give a character personality, you need a special person! I think i could make it in this field. Why? Because whenever you hear me, i might sound like a five year old, a Texan, or some other random voice. That's how i am. I am always trying different accents and no matter which one i do.....i always make my friends laugh. That gives me a good feeling. I would give this a chance but it seems almost impossible to get into. because just like regular acting....its in the "fame" category. But i want to do it SO bad. Atleast go to an audition and see if I would stand a chance. Me being new to it might not look too good but i can try. Problem is...i live next to no where near a recording studio OR anywhere where there might BE an audition. Not looking too good for me now huh?

If you are really dedicated to it you should try going to one of those Barbisan talent scout things and audition for them, they are looking for young talent and I'm sure that they could probably find you a gig even if it was just for a commercial, that's what your career could build off of.
