"You don't necessarily need an agent to do cartoon voice overs but it really helps. If, it is very difficult to get an agent but with the internet and with people doing their own web series, stuff like that, you can definitely do some stuff that's on the web that are cartoons, you know it's animation and it's great, it's good. To make a living at it you are going to need to get an agent because you need to solicit more work and those are the people that do it for you so, they will send you auditions. I audition all the time, I audition almost every day for different things. Some days I'll read a what we call sides, and sides are little pieces of a script and they might be two or three pages, they might be five pages, it might be five lines. The most I ever auditioned for in one day for animation I think I did seventeen different characters. And they ranged from a little kid, that was a little east Indian little boy to an old, old lady. So you know the more you can audition for it's like the lottery, the more you audition for the more you're probably going to book a job and an agent will help you get those auditions, so it really helps. I know it's hard but it really helps."
