This applies to VO, too. Specializing in two or three media is way better for your sanity, but the best actors I know, with the most sustainable careers, still indulge their curiosity. They get lessons in other media & performing arts and nurture interests not adjacent to VO.

Be well-rounded.
I look at a lot of student illustration these days and I can 1000% tell who has references outside of contemporary comics and animation. the work is better and more interesting.

Read! watch movies!! dig so so deep in your interests that you find bizarro stuff that you LOVE and can inform your work
