• Answer:

  Lots of people have this dream, but few make it. I assume you are a younger person, perhaps still in high school? Start taking classes or joining clubs that would be of benefit. The high school I went to had a club that produced a weekly cable public access TV show. It wasn't much to speak of, but gave experience to running cameras, etc. Go online and research what it takes. Work at what you learn. Don't just work for it, but visualize yourself being it. Go to a local recording studio and see if you can help in any way. Maybe you will just be volunteering to sweep the floor or run errands, but you will be in the door and able to see how it works in the studio. You then have an opportunity to work your way up. Not by being a know-it-all and giving unsolicited opinions, but by being a hard worker. BUT, the most important thing is, do you want to do it for the love of the art of for the perceived money, fame, etc.? If you are doing it for a perceived goal or outcome, you will get nowhere. If you do it for the love, even if you don't achieve money, fame, etc., you can still be satisfied.
