How do I become a good voice actor without classes and only from information online? (Youtube, website tips, etc.)?
I never received formal voice acting training. What I did, have, however, is decades of acting experience by the first time I ever stepped in front of a microphone. In my opinion, stage acting is the best training for any type of performance; it tends to be the most rigorous, and if you can become adept at it, learning other performance types, such as voice acting, or acting for camera, is primarily a matter of learning the technical aspects.There are a lot of references online; a simple Google search will show that. Nothing, however, will substitute for practice. Get a microphone - it doesn't have to be an expensive one - and practice speaking into it. If you don't have a computer to plug it into, even a cheap cassette recorder or MP3 recorder will do. You will learn how to stay "on-axis," so your sound remains strong and consistent. You'll also learn how to not "pop" your plosives, or make extraneous noise.Read out loud - a LOT. One of the primary job requirements of a voice actor is "cold reading" - picking up a piece of copy, making sense of it in one, quick reading, and performing it at an acceptable, professional level on your first take. Essentially, you should be able to "read ahead of yourself," by making sense of the words in the copy that are further along in the sentence than the ones coming out of your mouth. It sounds tricky, but it becomes habit fairly quickly.Finally, if you are interested in character VO, like animation and video games, try your hand at dialects. If you are comfortable acting in the English language, there is an excellent online resource called "The International Dialects of English Archives," or I.D.E.A. It contains samples of native speakers using all manner of dialects, categorized by geography. You can find it at this link: IDEA International Dialects of English Archive.As has been pointed out elsewhere, there is no substitute for solid training at the hands of working or former professionals. That said, there is a lot you can learn, and teach yourself, if you are diligent and determined. I hope I've helped.
I want to sing but have a TERRIBLE voice :(?
However much I would love to tell you a way to make your voice more pleasant-sounding, I'm afraid that if your voice isn't naturally like that, there isn't much that you can do. Open your mouth tall(notice I said tall, and not wide! Opening your mouth wide creates wide vowels that don't sound pretty at all, tall gives more space!) and raise your eyebrows as you sing, it creates more space in your mouth which will allow for more natural resonance. You should be able to fit three fingers between your lips as you open your mouth, or another test is to see if you have your mouth open wide enough is if you place your finger at the top of your jaw bone, open your mouth until there becomes a crevasse that your finger falls into(it isn't very deep, but you will be able to feel it!). As for the mucus stuck in your throat, avoid dairy products, added sugar(anything with natural sugar and just natural sugar, such as plain fruit, is all right to eat!), and/or caffeine, as they thicken mucus. Drink water as you practice, that will help thin the mucus. Last, if your voice has a nasally sound to it, you either aren't opening your mouth tall enough, or not getting a good enough breath before you sing. Stand tall, with one foot slightly(like an inch by the toe) in front of the other, and shoulders lax. Take a deep breath, if you are breathing correctly your shoulders should not move, and your stomach should expand(as your lungs fill with oxygen, it pushes your diaphragm down and organs out, this all happens naturally so don't force your stomach out!). As I said earlier, if your voice isn't naturally pleasant-sounding, there isn't a whole lot you can do. You can't force it to sound good. However, singing in a choir makes one large voice which, hopefully, sounds beautiful. I've sung in choir for seven years, I don't have the best voice, but in my choir, I'm fine. I hope this helps, and if you need anything else just let me know! =)

Does anyone know the page numbers of these quotes in the hunger games?
"You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope." Page 85, Chapter 6 "I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever." Page 136, Catching Fire. "Destroying things is much easier than making them." page 211, Chapter 16 "I don't want to lose the boy with the bread." -katniss [Repeated Below.] "One more time? For the audience?" he says. His voice isn't angry. It's hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me. I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go." Page 373, 374. It's the last few lines in the book. "They're already taking my future! They can't have the things that mattered to me in the past!" Page 117. Chapter 9. "He became my confidante, someone with whom I could share thoughts I could never voice...In exchange, he trusted me with his." (Unfound, but definitely somewhere in the first book.) "You’re not leaving me here alone,” I say. Because if he dies, I’ll never go home, not really. I’ll spend the rest of my life in this arena, trying to think my way out." Page 343, Chapter 25 "If you appeal to the crowd, either by being humorous or brutal or eccentric, you gain favor." Page 116, Chapter 9 "I'll never know what it was he wanted me to remember." Page 40, Chapter 3 "It sends out a very clear message: "Mess with us and we'll do something worse than kill you. We'll kill your children." (Erm, you really sure this is in the book? The closest I can think of is on Page 18,19, Chapter 1) "And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread." -Katniss Page 297, Chapter 21 All quotes are from the first book unless otherwise specified.
