Hi  If would be in his place I would first go for the job of radio jockey,since this is the only place from where someone can establish his identity by attracting concerned people towards his voice related talent.

find an agency, look in the phone book. make sure that they are a member of SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and they will not charge you. anyone that is legitimate wont at least. they will get something like 15% to 20% of what you make on each gig. you will have to go on casting calls and do not get discouraged, it will take a lot of them before you get a gig, usually. Good Luck.

Appearance, well prepared speech, body language, voice techniques, presentation support material, sintony to the public. \n\nWithin this order. You must convince at the first sight. You must know about what you are saing and what will be the next phrases. Prepare yourspeech and prepare alternative material to suport your sequence (and alternative sequences). \nTry to not be funny.\nMonocordial voice will show nothing than boringspeechzzzzzz.......\nIf you have strong personality you can measure and adapt based on people response - look to them. If you are not soo hard, jut have trust in your trainings and materials.

With practice... lots of practice.  Best way is language tapes, and a personal recorder. Record yourself speaking, then play the recording back. Listen at how you sound. Practice speaking the words that are not quite right. In time, you will get better.

Taking a class is a good start, but there is nothing like actual immersion "speaking" the language. Start with an introductory class. Then volunteer at your nearest deaf/hearing impaired school for a while.

Dont waste money with a cd or tape.  Get a REAL voice coach.  If you want a bargain, visit churches.  Many music ministers teach lessons on the side.  Join a choir and they will work with you for free!

First start singing in your church and local community.  If you are good people will invite you to sing at their churches and events.  Then you should cut a CD and when you are singing somewhere offer it for sale.  Then soon if you are good, you can start singing as an opener for concerts of larger name groups.  Start singing now everywhere you can to get seen and heard.  That is how you will get invited to sing in front of more and more folks who can hear you and invite you to sing at bigger and bigger things.  Eventually if you are good they will start to be willing to pay you.

you cannot change your voice, basically. But you can practice voice modulation, try meeting a speech therapist. You can also tone your voice and  practice accent changes, .. look people in the eye while talking, it speaks volume about your confidence. Make the most of what you have.

So you wanna be a rapper, voice is one of the things that will get you a gig in rapping. For example Keak The Sneak his voice is incredibly unique. Well, to change your voice go through puberty.

Well, obviously you could start taking voice lessons, or at least join a choir, even if it's just a church choir.  Drink lots of water, don't over-sing (scream singing), keep your vowels vertical, and have good diction. These are just general tips, of course, but your best bet is lessons if you've never had training before.

This is a very tough industry. Over here (USA) you need to take voice-over acting classes.  Most liberal arts school offer this. I know ADV does there own in house dubbing for most of there stuff.  You could probably get in contact with them. Im sure they are looking for new talent. But voice-over classes is a must (in the usa anyway) unless you start your own anime.  Other anime mass producing companies you could probably contact :  Anime-works  MANGA\nADV started as a group of people buying laserdiscs and subtittling them in a living room in texas somewhere for fun. Now look at them.

Experience. If you are of school age, see if your high school or college as a drama or theater department.  Look for a local community theater group and join it.  I promise you that you will have the time of your life performing.  Once you've join a theater group, talked to the director about who in the area teaches acting.   \n\nConsider some singing and dance lessons also, as they are helpful talents for any actor.\n\nLike anything worthwhile, it takes time, practice, and disciple. But unlike most other things, it is FUN the whole time.  Both of my daughters have acted in community theater and are now married to guys they acted with, and my oldest boy is engaged to a fellow actress.  So a local community theater group is an excellent social contact place as well.\n\nI would go on, but I have to leave for rehearsal for "Once Upon a Mattress" opening in August...(Tickets available of anyone who would like to come...)

Although being an actor is extremely rewarding, finding work can be a challenge. The profession requires great commitment and fortitude. \n \n   \n  Steps:  \n1.   Decide whether you want to be a professional actor (addressed here) or an amateur. If you want to be a professional, read on.  \n  \n2.   Move to a major city. Eventually, New York or Los Angeles will be your destination, but as you build your résumé of experience you can work in other major metropolitan areas that have good theater or film communities.  \n  \n3.   Enroll in acting class. Good actors study their entire lives. To choose a good class, ask trusted, successful professionals for references.  \n  \n4.   Get a headshot (see "How to Get a Headshot," under Related eHows).  \n  \n5.   Compose a résumé of all the work you have done so far. As your body of work grows, drop the less professional work (such as school plays) from your résumé.  \n  \n6.   Send your headshot and résumé with a brief cover letter to all the casting directors and agents in your area. Follow up with postcards every four to six months, updating them on your current acting projects.  \n  \n7.   Read the trade papers regularly: "Backstage," "Dramalogue," "The Ross Reports" and "Variety," as well as online publications such as newenglandfilm.com, as appropriate. Know what is being cast where, and send headshots and notes directly to directors and producers whenever possible, requesting auditions.  \n  \n8.   Always accept invitations to industry events and parties, and meet industry professionals whenever possible. Who you know is extremely important.  \n  \n9.   Persevere.  \n  \n  Tips:  \n Acting is a tough business; make sure your personality is suited for the ups and downs. If not, amateur theater is also a good way to practice your craft.  \n  \n Ignore negative clichés about actors and the entertainment business.  \n  \n  \n Warnings:  \n Be skeptical of shady services offered to actors; there are many scams that prey on the dreams of actors.  \n  \n\nActing teachings by Charlie Capen\nTo be a great actor, one must learn or study. \n\nSome good schools or acting teachings are Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, etc. \n\nBy far, my favorite school (in LA) is The Beverly Hills Playhouse. It is an amazing school and teaches acting, administration (of your career, etc.) and ethics. The teacher has studied with many of the greats as a peer and student. \n\nBut most importantly, follow your heart and dreams, and don't let anyone squash them for they are future not yet come into fruition.

I am going to assume you live in LA and that you have been active in school theater or even community theater.  If you haven't done these things, do them as soon as possible.  Once you have done some things to put on your resume (theater work) then you should get some headshots done.  The next step is to register yourself with Central Extras casting and go to work on movie sets as an extra.  The pay sucks but you get a lot of on-set experience, especially if you pay attention to what's going on.\n\nthen comes the BIG step.  Post your headshot/resume on either Now Casting, LA casting or Actors Access (or all three if you can afford it).  Every day new casting calls are listed.  Submit yourself for parts you feel you would be strong at (don't submit for just anything, casting agents do have a memory and if they see you submitting for everything they will not look at you twice).  Go out on auditions.  These films will be for no pay but the experience is what you are after.  Get 4-5 films under your belt, get copies of the stuff you do, then hire an editor to put together a demo reel that is burned to VHS or DVD.\n\nThen and ONLY after you have done ALL of the above should you start pursuing an agent.  Mail a letter of introduction and your headshot ASKING them if they would like to meet you and see your demo.  Then wait.\n\nSorry if this sounds discouraging, but that's the business.  You have to eb able to face rejection every day.  Remember there are thousands of actors in Los Angeles all vying for the same thing you want.  You just have to be able to play the game better than anyone else.\n\nPS - If you don't live in LA, get involved with as much theater work as possible and seek out your local independent filmmakers.  Get cast in their films and use that for your demo...then move to LA.
