>>>The real money is in voice-overs. Hard to get into, but if you can, you're set for life. Great salary with less work(and no typecasting) than even sitcoms, which are about the cushiest jobs in showbiz across the board.
Only certain kinds of voiceover work pay huge salaries. It's rare to make a decent living off this work--Don LaFontaine is one of very few people who managed to do that.
