How do I get started in Voiceovers?

OK, I got asked the inevitable question:

How do I get started in voiceovers?

This was my answer back:

Read up first: http://blogs.voices.com/ might have some good stuff.

and maybe a book:

Next, get yourself some recording equipment - best move is to get a USB microphone for your PC. But you can also use an answering machine or voicemail for this.
Record something - anything - and listen back to it, with headphones. Turn it up a bit and pay attention to every detail. Listen to your voice, notice any sounds that don't belong, background noise, pops or clicks coming from your mouth. Notice if you breathe too hard on P's and B's, if you mispronounce any letters or words. Do you have a noticeable accent? Consider if you want to try and hide it by talking a little "flatter."
Basically, you want to teach yourself to be totally in tune with your own voice and be able to be hyper-conscious of all these things when you are recording. Obsess.

If you want to make it into a business, you'll need all the things a good business needs: a website, a phone line, business cards, marketing supplies (postcards, stationery, Keychains with your name on it or somesuch) and you'll need to find people to contact and send this stuff to. You should also market your vo biz online.
Most importantly, like any business, you need a product. The product is your voice, but you need a way to present that in a tidy package people can check out at their leisure. This would be your demo. Read up on that, see what people have to say about VO demos.
I would say ideally, you should get VO training too. That can get expensive, but sometimes you can make a deal on these things.
Good luck! Any further questions, ask away!
