I've always wanted to be a cartoon.  Thinking outside the box (inside the bathroom) I decided to try something new.  I want a career.  I NEED a career.  I am not sure how to achieve my goal, but  dammit  I am determined to be the voice of something
   In the third grade, I was offered the opportunity to read my local school's lunch menu over a local AM Station.  From the moment I set foot inside the dark, little, basement studio, I was hooked.  "I can make a living... talking?"  I thought to myself.  "Definitely what I wanna do when I grow up."
    High School days, junior year.  A buddy of mine landed an internship at an FM Pop station.  (I tried this tactic at various stations all over town. Unfortunately, I had no classes which would give me credit for an internship, so I couldn't be hired.)  On nights that this friend of mine was working alone in the studio,  I was offered the opportunity to try my hand at the production room;  reading cold copy over various music beds (recorded but never aired,)  creating my own product commercial scripts and recording them, also over various music beds, and further bludgeoning this idea of a dream job into my head.  To my dismay, however, the reels have long since been "bonked" into extinction.
    Decided to go to college at my local state college.  That was a joke, and I was unable to receive any answers to my questions.   Perhaps it is because I live in a small market, but after only nine credit hours were earned, I realized that I was wasting my time and money on this particular venture.  I gave up on it. 
    After dropping out of college, I began working various jobs simply to pay my bills and had no time to follow my dreams.  That is until a buddy needed 'talent' for a college TV Production project.  ME ME ME!  I was the star of "Video Update," a two-minute news-desk style skit letting its audience know about rentals currently available at their local video stores.  I was asked by her professor if I had ever done any announcing work, stating that I had a voice that is well suited for that task.  But when I asked his advice later that year, he didn't remember me, and "couldn't help"  Once again, however, I don't have the tape.  I may be able to get a copy upon request, though. 
    Well, a very long post later, I am asking for some help.  Voice talent agents; that is to say "real" agents- 'you get paid when I get paid' kind of thing; get in touch with me.  If you are looking to hire voice talent of any kind- get a hold of me.  If you know how I can break into the voice-acting business (and won't charge me $29.95 or some monthly fee for your knowledge) Please, get a hold of me.  I have a million different voices (and most of them are not impressions.)  I am leaving this post in the hopes that it will fall into the right hands. 

Thank you for indulging my madness,

G.
