Hey Stacey!

Check out this page from my website:
Bob Bergen Official Web Site: FAQ

And read through this and other forums. Lots of great advice from lots of cool peeps. Bottom line, it's all about the acting. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask!!

Hi Stacey,

I, too, am in Georgia, in the Atlanta area. Also, a couple other pros you'll find on this forum from time to time, Lance Blair and September Day Leach, are Atlantans. So you're in a good place.

Probably the best place to start, if you haven't already read this, is here:

Random Thoughts for Newbies

Also, if you want, e-mail me privately and I'll share a couple of other starter ideas with you:
scott@voicebyscott.com

Best wishes and GL!

Strangely enough, I'm actually in Tennessee and trying to do the same thing. I'm stuck in Chattanooga and there doesn't seem to be a decent agency for local work.

More good info for those new to this career are:
The_Voice_Over_Entrance_Exam_by_Peter_K_OConnell_C opyright_2009.pdf (application/pdf Object)

And something I threw together as a relative novice:
Poor Man's Guide to a VO Career | Voices.com

Hope these help.
