Anime voice acting in Australia?
There is no anime dubbing jobs available in Australia. It costs alot to produce a dub, so its easier, cheaper and makes more sense for Madman, Siren and Hanabee to just buy the rights to dubs produced in the US. if you want to get into anime voicework then you'll have to move to Texas (were most English language dubs are made. VA work is very low in Aus.)
How can an Australian get into anime dub voice acting?

How can I become a voice actress in Australia with no prior acting or drama experience?
How can I become a voice actress in Australia with no prior acting or drama experience?Forget Australia, any where in the world you haven’t a chance until you gain a reputation.I presume you mean voice-overs in commercials, cartoons or film. As is, in any industry, you’ll need to get experience & a profile.Street performance & comedy “stores” will give you both, then you find an agent that will accept you. 99.9% fail at the experience. Imitators & voice are a less than 1 cent in the dollar.The money is in production, so set up a production company in which you can promote yourself, but that costs capital, and unless you have rich peers (parents) ready to invest in you, you are screwed…unless you have formal training & consequently contacts.
How hard is it to get into the voice acting industry?
In my opinion, there’s a difference between working as a voice-over artist, and working in voice acting.Voice-over artists may work in many different contexts: narration for web-based training, telephone answering systems, event announcements, etc. The voice acting “industry”, if I’m understanding your question correctly, is a reference to things like voices for animation and video games, stuff that involves acting.The animation voice world is a very tight-knit community, with many of the jobs going to a few highly talented and versatile people, and some known celebrities. However, there is a subset of the industry that produces versions of productions in other languages. I’ve done work on some of these productions, creating the English voice for a character in another language. There seems to be plenty of work in this area for talented people. This kind of work is also done for live action productions. There’s a documentary that was made about all the people in various countries who dub George Clooney’s voice.The video game voice world seems to be pretty open these days, but as the industry has become more lucrative, there has been a gradual trend towards the use of the same elite group of voice performers and celebrities that are being used in animation.How hard is it to get in? Depends on where you want to get in. I would recommend acting classes first, then voice acting classes, then finding an agent who handles voice actors.But if you just want to do voice-over, treat it like a business: don’t just post auditions at the voice brokerage sites and hope for something, start actively looking for clients. I would recommend taking some courses on the business of voice-over. Google for Harlan Hogan or Dan O’Day, they’ve offered great online courses in the past. There are many others as well.
How can I make money with voice acting?
Sometimes i wonder that myself! As with most industries you will need to lay out money just to get into “the game”. A lot of us now record at home - so a microphone, computer and a walk-in closet is the way to start….you may be tech savvy, I’m not so that’s how I began though I now have a Whisper Room - a tardis-like booth that sits at the back of my ladies boudoir. Deaden the sound as much as you can with clothes around you so the vocal isn’t boxy. And practise. Find your particular talent. Reach out to others on-line. People are really helpful out there!
A career in voice acting?
I'm a working voice actor giving you the REAL DEAL! I have a bass/baritone voice and it keeps me busy. Voice Acting is one of the HARDEST forms of acting to get into because your face and body is not seen so you have to be able to effectively convey emotions in your reading. It's more than just reading off of the page. You can be a Robert De Niro on camera, but it does NOT mean that your acting will translate with just your voice. Good voiceover training consists of proper vocal exercises and warmup, proper diction in American standard English, breaking down a VO script into phrases and being able to analyze it, and being able to make that script come to life with your imagination and not just some regular read, and proper mic technique. Improv is also highly recommended as well for you want to be able to loosen up and use your imagination when you're in that isolation chamber (recording booth). When you're recording for the producers, you'll be asked to do multiple takes and say a line or script differently. Improv helps with that! Getting into SERIOUS voice over acting is a hefty investment. Largely because you have to invest hundreds even thousands of dollars in putting together a demo reel that shows your range as a voice actor. There are different types of voiceovers. Commercials are the biggest chunk. Then there are promo, narrative, foreign language, audiobook, and animation. In animation, you want to create original characters, NOT imitations of Bart Simpson, etc. Once you have a demo done, you mail them out to Voice Over Agents. They're the ones who get you auditions. If I had to recommend a book, I think The Art of Voice Acting, 3rd edition by James R. Alburger is a good place to start. He also gives recommendations for other Voiceover resources as well. Here's a great Voice Acting resource site: http://voiceacting.com
