Networking.

If you don't already have money or connections and you're over the age of 20, give it up.

If you don't live on the west coast of the united states or the equivalent in your country, give it up.

If you really don't have any talent and think you can cover that up with training, give it up.

I live in washington and im 19, my drama teacher is a playwright for the local theatre guild, though i dont him that well just yet

But anyway im not talking about nor expecting big hollywood shit, but itd be neat to eventually be a D lister or voice over artist or commercial theatre actor or something

Good start.

Start talking to those people instead of /adv/.

Other than that, only advice is relentlessly pursue networking and leads you do manage to find, and practice. If you have free time, practice. If you find jobs, apply to them whether you think you have a shot or not.

Aye, i just wanted specifically some techniques to express a line or read or impressively, as its an area i think would be important to tackle, i dont now if any anons here practice or use any unique or interesting methods

It really, really depends to such a large degree on context, genre, medium and personal style that it's really a useless question unless you have something more specific in mind.

Specifically, lines that are despairingly or angrily yelling, and voice control for emotion i suppose, maybe some ways to channel specific emotions too, im not an angry or neurotic person, so it takes a little extra to work myself up
