How to be a cartoon voice
How I did it: I used to always play around when I was young with doing different voices and then when I was working for a company that produced media products I was asked to do some voice work.
So, I guess it is a matter of being at the right place at the right time as well as having the raw talent to do that which you are seeking to do.
Once you get your foot in the door then one job usually leads to another, but I also recommend lots of practice and learning how to become better at the same time.
Lessons & tips: Do that which you are not only good at, but that you love doing as well. In the beginning you may have to sacrifice time, money, and by doing that which you don't like to do.
Resources: Just getting my foot in the door at a company that does voice work. I started out as a technician.

Okay, so I’m not a cartoon voice yet… but I’m reading outloud, and in public! librivox is an awesome online project that has volunteers record public domain texts and then releases them (as ogg or mp3) for the world to hear.
I’m working on maing my narration more animated, and eventually I’ll see if I can create voice characters for the passages I read, but I think it’s a pretty good start so far…
