Is it really that hard to become a storyboard artist in the United States?

I don't have any connections, never went to Cal Arts, but the job itself isn't that difficult and you don't really need to draw very well since everything else get taken care of overseas by Korean slaves.

Internets about to tank.
If it doesnt.
It would be easier to find work for a youtbe channel or start your own making cartoons.

This is what you want, get to work.

Yeah but for what? The USA doesn't produce anything of worth.

Break into comics, then transition into storyboard art. Similar disciplines, it gives you something to show prospective employers, and an opportunity to build a name for yourself.

At the very least, you can create a portfolio to apply to jobs. Look up professionals and their portfolio websites to get an idea of what is expected. How many stories do they have? What is the format? (These days it's all click-through style, nobody wants a page with multiple boards). How long are they/ what is the scope? Do they/how do they add color/value? Use all this as a basis for your portfolio. And remember the drawings are rough, but the real focus is on acting and direction.

Once you have a solid portfolio, reach out to people on linkedin. That is what the website is for, they won't be offended, worst case they ignore you.
