Anyone into (amature) voice acting?

I firmly believe that everyone has the talent to become an actor of some kind. It's all about finding your niche, and finding that certain event that sort of... (Please excuse the DragonBall reference) Unlocks your potential.

I've been attempting to get my voice heard for a while, but a lot of fandubbers are too picky, or keep self/pre-casting the character I want to try for most.

Mm... prejudiced fandubbers kinda annoy me...

Mine is more classical training. If someone wanted a voice for a Shakespeare production, I'd be in. I just want more range and opportunities to try new things- like general voice acting.

A couple of the worst ones I've had were:
"You don't sound british enough" Yes, I'm Canadian, but I know I'm able to do accents. The guy wanted an Anthony Hopkins type accent, which isn't really all that strong of an accent if I remember right.
Another one was for a digimon fandub, and the person they chose for Gabumon sounded (no offense to the actor) a bit retarded/down syndrome-y. Not saying I should have gotten the part, but there was probably someone better suited for the part.
