If I may ask: How did your journey as a voice actor start, and how did you happen to make a living off of it?

I love to read aloud for decades, do a bit of different voices per character... And people seem to like my voice when I moderate our daily rounds or do presentations. I just learned that in the last 12 months, so maybe there is a hidden talent that needs to be unveiled.

I got to know the world of voice acting because I am a sound engineer and I had to record quite a few people. I started when I took acting classes, but the truth is that since I was little I liked to clown around with my voice. I've taken TONS of classes over the years.

There are so many genres where a voice actor can do voice acting. Think of anywhere you hear a voice. There is a voice actor behind it.

I don't know what area you live in but if it's something you're interested in, I'd look into where you can take classes.
