Just wanted to know if I had it in me to start being a voice actor :p
Apparently it is, like any other talent, hard work and involves practices and will power. ^_^

Great introduction to the topic!
This book is exactly what it promise to be, and I wasn't disappointed with the content whatsoever after finishing it. It isn't the only resource or book you should read on voice acting, but if your curious, this is a good place to begin.

Will use this often as a reference. It might be a good idea to read up on business bookkeeping as well.

Voice Acting for Dummies not only gives you a lot of good information, but you'll close the book with the realization that voice over work isn't easy and takes an investment, both time and money.
