I want a job in voice acting.

I'm a man of a million voices. It's like a parrot. If I train my throat and mouth to make the right sound I can imitate almost anyone. I love being able to just bust into Dr. Zoidburg, or Stewie, or pretty much any cartoon character that comes to mind. My friends tell me it's uncanny! I need to send in a demo DVD or something... Maybe it's my calling.

Can you sing then? I'm pretty sure voice actors usually have to have good pitch control anyways. Also, upload a soundclip.

Oh yeah I can sing. I can sound just like Brad Nowell in Santeria, I can hit every note in Stairway to Heaven, there's just too many good ones to name. I'll upload some samples later after my date tonight.

That would be an amazing job, or even career if you wanted to pursue it.
I wish i could do something like that. I can do a pretty good russian accent, and the stereotypical indian accent, but that's really the extent of my voice.
I suck at singing also.
My best idea would be to find some one that would be able to employ your talents, and think of something witty to put onto a tape/CD.
record your voice, but make it a dialog between two characters, and keep introducing characters. Try to make it funny. humor goes a long way in most places. I'd assume it would go even farther in the cartoon creating world.
I don't have the slightest idea where you would send it though.

Do it up, voice some indie stuff online and build a portfolio/get practice. And join a band, if you have a good vocal range you could be a great singer. I mean, you could sing in all sorts of different ways.

I would LOVE to hear your zoidberg impression, I would kill to be able to do that. I DO do a good Zapp Brannigan w/ Kif impression.

Try sending your shit in to video game making companies. Probably wouldn't be too hard to get a bit doing a voice in a game.

As in independent, like a flash cartoon or something. It's shitty, but it's a start.

if you'd like to get into that you should start talking to agents, call radio stations and inquire about doing voiceovers and dont be afraid to ask anyone for a referal to someone that can help you further if they can't...

Is there a name to the song that's playing in the background of 2 girls 1 cup? It sounds familiar; it'll make this sound clip so much easier to make with it lol.
