You can probably do both. You might start by seeing if there's any volunteer work for reading books for blind kids around (great place for silly voices) or try sending some recordings of your voices to folks, or put them up on youtube. It will take a while to get jobs, though, so having the teaching certificate will be useful.

I have a friend who has a job in disability support at a university, and reading texts aloud for blind students is a big part of it. No silly voices though.

I second this (although I speak as someone who knows nothing about either voice work or earning a teaching degree).

If you are close to finishing the degree, I say go ahead and finish so at least you have a completed degree on your resume and you won't have wasted your time thus far. That will be helpful for future employment in general (maybe not in voice over work, but in other fields, say if you need to get an office job to pay the bills or whatever). No one really cares about time spent in college/university if you didn't actually complete a degree.

If you only just started the degree, you might want to consider either backing out of school for the time being or switching to a major you find more interesting. Going to school to study something you hate and don't want to use in life is a waste of time and money.

Either way, start researching how getting jobs in voice acting works and start putting yourself out there. Get on that now, not after you are done with school.

A+ advice right here

Listen to this person, OP!

[deadtree]

and more great advice here! If you've already started the degree, see it through unless it's just crushing your soul. The job economy is insanely competitive and it's only going to get worse. It never hurts to have education on your resume.

I agree with this.

When you've already put a lot of time an money into earning a degree, it can be good to try to finish it -- and doing so doesn't mean you're doomed to enter that field and stay there. It's not like you have fewer options than if you didn't get a degree. It's just good to get something for your time and money, and have that degree to back you up.

But when you're starting out, I think college is too expensive and time-consuming to enter a major geared toward a job you know you don't want at all. Not when you often have multiple choices that would work and give you the same number of opportunities post-graduation.

Excellent advice right here!
