I understand that I did get lucky, but I landed a gig animating scripts for the mother of a child actor who is pushing him creatively and paying me to animate his writings. I was able to hire my friends to voice act and handle the overload. Before this, I had only made 1 serious cartoon, but it was published on a website I designed well and presented with as much fireworks as possible. I linked my site on craigslist and said I wanted to animate for pay. just stay busy and youll do it
