And now for a serious answer:

First, voice actors often have another job. VA work is limited in the US and much of the higher paying work is extremely difficult to get into without the right connections. Many VAs do stage acting, non-acting jobs and some do other ADR related jobs such as script writing and direction. So the first thing you have to understand about VA work is that it requires a lot of heart to keep at! Stage acting can be especially useful for getting into VA work as the voice is very important to stage acting and you can connecting with the local acting network.

Second, getting into VA work can be as simple as going into an audition or knowing the right people. Open auditions generally happen in the places where the dubbing takes place so if you wanted to work for Funimation, you'd likely need to head to Texas. California, New York, Canada and North Carolina also have had some anime-related dubbing done in those states. (I'll let you research specific cities/companies.) You should try to get in touch with a studio directly to find out who you'd need to talk to. Ask about voice acting and/or ADR. Open auditions can be a great way to enter the field. However, don't expect a leading role right away! Make sure to try out for as many roles as you feel you can competantly handle. You might not work for one role but you might be perfect for another! Be flexible.

Sometimes, if you are already a part of the acting community, you may meet people who can get you into closed auditions (you know, auditions that are invitation only.) Stage acting can give you a chance to meet fellow actors who may know people or even meet casting directors directly. Of course, there's always a chance of meeting someone at any public place or job if you are living in the city where VA work is going on. You should do as much acting as you can and try to spread your resume around and talk with fellow actors. The more work you do, the more you increase the chance of being noticed for your work.

Third, getting into voice acting requires some real skill! Talent can open doors if you hone your craft. Try to develop a wide range of "voices" with unique personalities. Try to work on diction and pronounciation. If you can learn Japanese (for anime dubbing) that might give you an edge or at least make you more useful to have around. Take acting classes to improve your skills and to find out if you're really making the right choice getting into acting. This also gives you a nice resume booster or at the least avoids a conspicuous absence.

FInally, I'd recommend you buy a copy of BangZoom's Adventures in Voice Acting. Not only is it entertaining but it also provides many stories about who real VAs got into voice acting and about the job itself. This might give you some more info and it will likely be an enjoyable watching experience. I personally liked.

This is just a cursory post on getting into VA work. I hope it helped a little though. (I wish I knew more but I'm just rehasing a lot of things I've read and heard elsewhere.)
