Re: Questions about of choice the country
@jonikster, Getting into eeven small scale acting is bloody difficult in any country, let alone in Hollywood, and if you don't mind me saying, even more so if English is not your first language.
Generally speaking you don't get that sort of work by just turning up at somewhere or living in the right country, you get it via firstly doing some actual qualifications, joining unions like equity (the actor's union), and then to be brutally honest, by getting lucky with who you know (while auditions do tend to be held for acting jobs, %90 of the time auditions will get you know where since the director will have already picked who they want in the cast and are just holding the auditions as a formality.
This is very true for sighted people and when you add visual imparement into the mix and the fact that most directors, even for voice acting don't want visually impared on stage or in productions it is virtually a none starter. indeed the "who you know" quotient is apparently even worse in Hollywood than it is in other parts of the performing arts.
As people have said if you want to move to another country, make sure you actually apply for and get a job there as well as find a place to live close to that job, indeed given stricter immigration measures, this might actually become a requirement to live in some countries, the way it currently is for places like Australia.
I'm not saying this to be harsh, but as was said earlier in this topic finding a place where everything is equal is not possible, likewise your chances of actually doing voice acting in Hollywood are vritually zero.
If you want to get into voice acting, I'd first recommend looking around for a drama school or qualifications in voice, preferably in a place where you share a common first language, (and don't tell me there aren't any drama schools in The Ukraine), and then go from there.
