xP Keep in mind that I was enrolled in 2 colleges simultaneously for the senior year of university.

Personally, I believe if you're resourceful enough, lots of classes even outside of acting and speech can help (psychology, communications, writing, etc.). However, I highly suggest speech and acting classes. Interpretive reading, improv, and scene study classes are just a few I can name in acting/theatre classes (and I wish I could name more, but I wasn't enrolled in that major). Acting foundations are so important that I recommend any acting class you can get, though remember that acting for different media offers different challenges. Acting for the stage is different from acting on camera is different from voice acting.

Interpretive reading was actually listed as a speech class, along with public speaking and my first voice acting class, voice and diction. Keep in mind that I was lucky voice and diction was taught by a voice actress; Most voice and diction classes are made to iron out speech issues, like clinging accents and enunciation problems--Those are still important though and hell, Rina-chan learned effective breath control from her voice and diction class, as did I.

And to be completely honest, I only enrolled in screenwriting because: "Hey! I'm good at writing, I love telling stories, and I can view storytelling from a writer's perspective!" + the entertainment industry tends to have a lot of crossing over. To put it in the most blunt way, I thought it'd be a day job while pursuing voice acting, but it's actually another starving artist job--I'd only recommend screenwriting if you're ridiculously passionate about telling a good story and learning how, not a pretentious douchebag who takes it lightly. I love storytelling and my grades clearly show that I'm at least decent at it, if not good, but I'm not as passionate about writing as a lot of my classmates, who can easily finish 90 pages (roughly 90 minutes of screen time) between a week and a month. I struggle just to get 20-60 after a whole semester.

Everyone's path into voiceover is different. For instance, several people went into voice acting after doing acting for theatre, some didn't have any acting experience, but learned how to while transitioning in from doing radio. Hell, watch "Adventures in Voice Acting" documentary to see tons of other people's way into the biz. I guarantee you that everyone's way in is different, so you can't just throw away 4 years of your life following someone else's path when you should forge and follow your own.

Hopefully this helps and best of luck.
