"Necessity is the mother of invention."

Very rarely you'll find people who will spoon feed you bits of helpful information on your quest to learn the the thing we call VO, and you might even find a partner who makes enough money to keep the rent or mortgage paid during lean/learning times, but yes, ye and ye alone are the best source of the information investigation.

You can't win if you don't play.
