Voiceovers and Other Careers

I made a decision this morning to try in some way to pursue my desire to use my voice to make some money. Ok, how about investigating doing voiceovers. Sounds like a start. I signed up with a site, ok, this is WAY too easy. Then, I went to a blog that told me about fifty reason why I couldn't possibly break into the voice over business. It spoke of hiring voiceover coaches and investing large amounts of money in the pursuit of a voiceover career.

Ok, I see no reason to let a negative piece of information stop me. Then, at dinner I was reading my Wisdom of the Ages book and read "Deliberately pursue activities in which you have previously shown little or no aptitude. The way out of failure is to face it and laugh at the results rather than be embarrassed or intimidated by earlier outcomes."

So, that brought me back to, "Why not try to do voiceovers?" I can't see what I'd have to lose by at least trying.

I'll graduate in August with a Bachelors of Science in Information Technology so I should have a "day" job if my voiceover work doesn't pan out.
