Many voices of a voice actor.

How do voice actors get trained for changing their voice, it can't be something they can naturally do. Does anyone know some of the steps they take to be able to alter their voice they way they do.

Check out this book, by voice actor/director Susan Blu. In it, she talks about the process of developing character voices for animation, something she knows a little about ;) I've taken voice classes with Susan, and her techniques work quite well. Other voiceover teachers break things down a bit differently and use slightly different terms, but it's all basically the same thing.

Just like you can't learn to swim by reading about it, you'll have to put some of these techniques into practice to develop your chops, but this will definitely point you in the right direction.
