Hey fellow peeps, I just joined! I decided on a career that requires me to talk alot. I'm going to be a voice actor. I'm 28 and for 9 long and unhappy years, I've been in retail and convinced myself to be hidden for the rest of my life, but I've grown tired of hiding and I want to use my "weakness" as a strength to reach a career that I can finally be happy with. I am always told that I have a good voice people will actually listen to me read a book if I could lol. I want to meet James Earl Jones for this reason as he had a sever stutter and he's one of the best actors of all time voicing Darth Vader and Mufasa for example. I'm tired of finding a compromise for my dreams...
