Well (and apprently I've hijacked this thread here), I've always had an affinity for entertainment media (TV, movies, radio, theater, stage). I was originally I biology major, but couldn't pass organic chemistry, so I switch gears and took control of my other love - media.

I can't explain why I fell in love with cartoons. Probably because it is lower key, you can do anything in a cartoon, the potential for storylines is endless, and I have the utmost respect for voice actors. It's a art higher than anything Hollywood can produce. In audio, you focus on pure form and delivery of the line. You don't fuss with wardrobe and shout out "I'm ready for my close up now, Mr. Divile!"

To quote Mark Hamill, while working on the Radio Drama, "Radio is a very different form. Here, nobody can see how silly you look as you pretend to dangle from a weather vane. It's all about the delievery of the lines."

With the line of work that I want to go into, chances are good that I might actually work the Mr. Hamill himself from time to time, including a list of other well respected voice actors.
