2. The Queen of Disney:Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel in "The Little Mermaid," revealed that she used her own classical singing training to bring a unique and enchanting quality to Ariel's voice.
3. The Master of Impressions:Frank Welker, the voice of countless characters including Scooby-Doo and Megatron, said, "I just practice and practice and practice. I try to get into the character and become the character."

3. Networking and Marketing:Networking with industry professionals and marketing oneself effectively are crucial for voiceover actors to gain recognition and secure work.
4. Perseverance and Passion:Voiceover acting can be a competitive field, and actors must be prepared to persevere through setbacks and pursue their passion relentlessly.
