Haven't listened to the reels yet, but some nice interviews are to be had at:
http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Adventures_in_Voice_Acting (may require a free account signup to watch). It's got some nice interviews from current English VAs describing how they got into the business and keep it up.
[Edit, after listening]: Ah, so the seiyuu portion was a direct reference to Japanese roles, not a catch-all term for voice acting! I doubt the below advice applies, as my understanding is that the English/American VA production system is far removed from the Japanese VA production system. But it could be worth looking at for kicks.
Also, out of curiosity, did you have any specific characters in mind when doing the voices for the various character types? Could help since we at Fakku! are so very visual :). [/ edit]
The general gist I had was that Voice Acting is run within fairly small circles due to time-constraint on the part of producers. Being that there are multitudes of VA hopefuls, they generally pick what they know, what is quickest and/or most convenient at the time.
As a result, the voices for dubs and original cartoons are called upon again and again, which probably means that auditions are held when all else fails.
So, what that means for VAs is that they have to have quite a diverse portfolio, that's easily accessible and well advertised by word-of-mouth or simple persistence.
Beyond breaking into the business is the complexity of maintaining a constant stream of work, which forces actors to be organized and flexible in terms of scheduling.
There's a lot of people doing exactly this and not getting the numbers of VA roles that they wanted. If you get the job, grats! If not, make the audition a memorable one!
TL:DR? It's tough. Like any dream, a large variety of cards are stacked against the newcomers. To get a job requires constant upkeep of A-game acting and a thick, thick hide.
Also, eating sour green apples is a huge bonus before recording. If you haven't watched the vids or heard of this tip by now, it's apparently a great way of dealing with the sloppy sounds of mucus; which is picked up by the sensitive mics in recording studios.
