How do I become a voice actor?

How to convince parent to let me become a voice actor?

• Hi, I want to be a voice actor and always wanted to be since i was 9. (I Am 16) I like to believe my voice talent is raw and needs to be molded. I been asked to be evulated but the place is 45 minutes from my house and i don't think my mom will take me. Plus she thinks i am too old for cartoons but my voice hasn't matured too far from when i was 12. Anyways i need help convicing her can anyone help?

• Answer:

  First and foremost, taking care of the driving situation will be the first step in convincing your parents. You're 16, so you should hopefully be able to get your license soon if you haven't gotten it already. If getting a car for yourself is too much of a stretch, ask if you can use it to get there and back and even offer to pitch in with gas money. If the place pays you, that shouldn't be a problem. Other than that, just sit down with them and explain that its your passion, and it would make you happy to have the opportunity to do what you love. Hope this helps!
