How do I prepare for a start in Commercial Script Writing?
I am a Voiceover artist and an aspiring commercial script writer. I am preparing to finish an associate's degree in Marketing Management and later Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. Since I am close to finishing my associates I wonder what jobs/opportunities/freelance should I be doing now to prepare to find work as a commercial script writer. I am doing voiceover at the moment as well and I love analyzing commercial scripts and often wonder what other jobs could I look towards that align with voiceover and commercials? I know this wont be an easy niche to break into but even if I don't get a chance at being a commercial script writer I can take other avenues around the advertising/commercial field.

How often do you work on creating a Movie, Musical, Play or Tv Show? Late Nights, Early Mornings? How much money does it take and how much do you make based off of when people see the movies?
