Voice acting isn`t something you can just apply for and walk in off the street and do. There are dedicated schools for it, and you pretty much have to pass, be verified, and then enter a studio. Most voice actors/actresses attended these schools straight out of high school.

Foreigners in Japan just usually aren`t in the position to do this. You can`t get a visa to attend a voice acting school... Not to mention that the schools aren`t exactly cheap either.

And even then, you have to sign with a studio and work your way up through the ranks... Minor voice overs in dubbed films, commercial voice overs, nameless background characters in anime... And then if you`re lucky a regular part.

It`s a serious career.
