Get to know them, and their business, and let it be known that you do voice acting. You can also try and find small, local businesses that are just getting large enough to start advertising, and strike up a conversation with the owners. On the other hand, there is a reason for that it's usually low paying, long hours of recording and editing, and there is rarely much feedback to help you improve your voice. There are also far more books out there to be read that there are narrators reading them. Audiobooks are another entryway, as there isn't a huge barrier to cross before getting started. This is usually animation/character voice over, and can be pretty fun, especially if that's where you want to end up. There are various ways you can get in, but typically you will start out doing unpaid fan projects and stuff to get practice and experience (not necessarily resume experience, but personal experience with your setup and gear to work out any kinks). But, in the end it's the quality of your voice that matters, so going into radio isn't going to kill your career before it can even get started. Many agents are hesitant about hiring former radio hosts. While it can help get you used to he mic, radio announcing typically use their own style of voice that currently is avoided with voice over. As far as going out and getting jobs though, I do have a bit of advice. Having someone dedicated to helping you grow as a voice actor can make a world of difference. The first place to look is voice coaching and acting classes, if you can afford them. Now, the harder part: Where to actually get started? You may be able to use materials you already have, but try to figure it out beforehand. Just remember to factor the treatment into your budget when you look for gear. I have a furnace on the other side of one wall by my booth, but with a layer of insulation, and three layers of heavy blankets, almost none of that sound reaches the booth (and what does can be cut out with a bass roll-off). Just remember, the thicker the material the more effective it will be, and layering works wonders when improvising a booth. You will also want to spend some money on sound treatment if you can, but it's easy enough to use a closet or make a blanket-fort if you need to. This isn't the only setup,and if you can find used gear you may be able to get even better quality stuff cheaper (or the same price). For those starting out (with a low budget) I recommend the MXL V67G, Behringer UM2, XLR cable, pop filter, mic stand, and shock mount. Studio fees get pretty expensive when you are doing a lot of work, and buying your own gear will pay for itself in the long run. I'm going to get started with the gear, as it's actually one of the easier parts to cover. Ok, strap in because there is a lot to cover here! And before I get started, remember that there is rarely one correct way to go about any of this, and everyone will have their own experiences and thoughts, and although different (sometimes very different) that doesn't mean that they aren't both valid.
