Very good advice for the up and coming voice actor. Yes! It is NOT just about the voice, it's about so much more. I especially liked your reality check. You do have to really really want it. I will be blogging about your blog on my site and send aspiring voice actors (and seasoned ones) your way for some sage advice. Happy New Year! Hooray Bob!

I remember an L.A. based acting teacher coming through Dallas now and then who would spend the first 15 minutes of the workshop explaining why we should accept our money back from him and forget any notions of an acting career. Of course we were all too stubborn to listen, convinced that we would be the exception to the long odds against us. Stupid pride. Best, Bill Pryce Excellent points Bob.

No radio, TV or any other kind of broadcasting, acting background. Word of caution - Don't do what I did and don't do what I do.

I have edited my post. You're right. It can cost a great deal more. And, as we both know, the costs don't stop after one is launched. Be well, Bob Dan,

Wow, that's a deal. Where can I get high quality training, demos, web site and logo design, a professional studio and a real marketing budget for that? Sign me up! (Sorry for the sarcasm.) I have a friend who made a go of it in one year. She did have a little radio background, natural talent and one heck of a work ethic, but it still cost her around $45,000.00 to get it all in and start a proper career. Like any other business, it takes a real investment of time and money to make a go at this industry. Be well my friend, Dan Hi Bob,
