2- In order to work as an actor, my chosen career path would be London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. This drama school is one of the greatest and oldest schools that I've heard of and it has had many graduates who have had great successes in their future. I think going there would be a great path for me.

3- Voice is a very important ingredient for being a great actor. It useful for a giant crowd and it's good for manipulating words in different ways, so you can show your emotion. That's why you must always warm up your voice. There are six steps to vocal warm up and there are does and don'ts. Now not only are these warm ups but they are the DOES. 

Breathing Relaxation - breath control and removing tension around the nose mouth and throat. 
Jaw Release - stretching and tensing the jaw to remove stress from that area allowing the actor to speak properly. 
Lip Trills - stretching lips so words are pronounced properly when lips come in contact. 
Tongue Trill - stretching the tongue will help with articulation and good pronunciation of words. 
Two octave Scales - going from a high pitch to a low pitch. This will help with showing different tones/emotions in words. 
Humming - vibrating your vocal cords is like massaging/clearing your throat. It helps so you can be able let voice go from a low to high pitch.

Things you should do to help your voice
DRINK A LOT OF WATER
DO VOCAL WARM UPS

Now here are the DON'TS (All examples below may harm either your throat or your breathing): 
NO SMOKING
DON'T DRINK A LOT OF COFFEE, SODA, AND ALCOHOL. 
DON'T MISUSE/ABUSE YOUR VOICE
DON'T CLEAR YOUR THROAT. 

All of this are vital points for an actor for this will help with how voice can reach the entire audience. Not only with sound but with emotion.  This will be a lesson that shall always be taught in a actors life and I will always need it if I want to be a professional actor.
