Hi LindZ - Welcome!
Wow, kudos on the cartoon gig! You really were thrown in the deep end of the pool ;-) Can't wait to hear more about it.
Check out this post - it's a good overview:
Random Thoughts for Newbies
We've also got a Reviews section for books, web sites and such, plus areas where you can post your auditions (Leads and Reads), and a section for posting Demos (Hot Seat).
Folks here are very helpful, but they won't hold back on their opinions. Lots of good constructive feedback to be found, that's for sure...
Please take a look around - many questions have already been asked and answered. ... and of course, If you don't see something, feel free to ask.
Nice to meet you,
Joe J Thomas
