		Justin: I became a voice actor when I started up with FUNimation Productions as an ADR engineer, which is actually not the voice actor but it's the guy who records the voice actors.
		And for about a year and a half I worked with Chris Sabbat, who was our voice director, and he kind of trained me on everything I needed to know and he eventually asked if I'd audition for a role and I did.
		And as a director and having worked with a lot of the actors prior in the series Dragon Ball, I would see characters and have ideas of at least four to five people who I would think would be really good at that character and who I wanted to give it a shot at.

		He is a fun, enthusiastic, and versatile actor who seems to have a knack for landing incredibly choice roles--Data, of course, Dr. Okun (the eccentric scientist from Independence Day), and Gil Godwin, the megalomaniacal, dictatorial director of entertainment on a cruise ship in the comedy "Out to Sea" are just a few of them.
		Those who dislike him most commonly accuse him of being "a ham." This might be true, but in Brent's defense, the level of hamminess he uses is always appropriate to the roles he plays.

	WIL WHEATON dot NET: Where is my mind?: voices ring the halls
		But the thing is, most voice actors are lucky to work three or four of these jobs a year, so when the year is up, most of us are looking at under 3,000 dollars earned from games that gross several million.
		Voiced characters are becoming a part of the experience, and the people whose job it is to ensure the quality of that part of the game deserve adequate compensation for their contribution.
		On the corporate ladder of the gaming world, VO actors are recent additions and are at the bottom-despite any implied or actual value in their other mediums, last hired, first fired is a common rule in any business-so they got a little raise to grease the squeaky wheel and keep things running quiet.

	AVS Forum - lol.. voice actor strike
		Voice actors are a very minor role, compared to the work put into the game from other parts in the development cycle, they're nxt to nothing, and having them demand royalties is just laughable
		I also always find it amusing when actors complain on how hard they work and the 14 hour days they put in (when most of it is spent on-set in a trailer doing coke).
		Voices used in games don't need to be recognizable actors to be successful.

	Who Speaks for Piglet? - What happens when a cartoon character loses its voice. By Daniel Engber
		In rare cases, a character will be retired when a voice actor dies.
		An actor who can't be replaced tends to be expensive; studios prefer to have a stable of backups who can step in if needed.
		As an actor gets older, his voice might be deemed too raspy for the part.

	IGN: Careers: Voice Acting
		A common misconception - and a rather unfortunate one - is that cartoon voice acting consists merely of doing "funny voices." Anyone who assumes this is the case should put as much distance between themselves and a microphone as is humanly possible… Perhaps move to a small island off Patagonia.
		You must be just as facile an actor behind the microphone as you would be if you were actually on a stage or in front of a camera - sometimes even more so, since your entire performance is constructed internally, without the aid of a set or props.
		Also keep in mind that you may have all the talent in the world, but at the end of the day, producers will give a role to the actor whose voice sounds most like the one they're imagining in their heads for the character in question.
