Hey there! Thank you for doing this AMA.

I found out about voice acting and having some talent in it late in my education. My parents would have never supported me going into any field of acting, and I was (and still am) too afraid of not being able to be successful to throw myself in it. I was recording a commercial demo professionally at a studio in NY before my current job popped up.

I still have the dream of being a voice actor, but am too afraid that I am competing with people who spend years acting, learning, and performing for years. I know there are things such as community theater, but even that looks like a huge time crunch for me at the moment.

Getting to my question (finally)... What would you say I would need to know or have in order to pursue this and eventually make it viable? At what point did you know "This is something I can use to pay my rent"?

Hey MasakoX! Love your work. Nothing makes me happier than a bunch of talent getting together and creating something great.

I am sure you've gotten this a billion times by now but...what would it take to become involved with either you folks or get noticed by any other reputable group? I've been working on my voice acting on and off for the past 3 or so years now and have gotten professional lessons. I've followed a few of your videos on becoming a better voice actor as well.

Any suggestions?
