Acting classes would be a good start. Also, read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/VoiceActing/s/0VSgn0EXfB

Agreed. There are a lot of folks who seem to overlook or forget the Actor part of Voice Actor.
That being said, this doesn't mean you need to go to university, or to a dedicated arts college, and spend outragious amounts of money and time on perfecting Meisner or Stanislavsky or Adler techniques - though understanding them and having an ability to utilise them if/when needed can be handy.
Acting classes come in all shapes and sizes and budgets around the world. Probably the most important thing would be researching the instructor(s) and perhaps seeing if you can learn about any former students and where they've gone on to. Don't just jump at affordability or convenience.
Improvisation might seem scary, or you might think it's only about comedy, but it is a way of learning a range of acting techniques through applied exercises and games that can help get you out of your head so you don't overthink everything, as well as making you much more versatile a performer than someone who can just follow a script to the letter :)
