Hi Frankie - I think the sort of work you're talking about is called "voice acting". You can search for it on-line to learn more about it as a career path. Also, you can re-post a more general question using this term in the hopes of getting more responses.
Full disclosure: I am not a voice actor.
However, I know some people who are. And, like other types of acting, it requires hard work, preparation, auditions, skill and, of course, a little bit of luck. To make a living, the voice actors I know do lots of types of work, from animations and video games, to commercials, to voice-overs, to corporate promotional videos, to industrial training videos, etc. If you are looking for a career in voice acting, you might consider expanding your interest beyond just villains. I don't know any actor who would limit themselves to playing just villains - even if that is their preferred role.
Research "voice acting" on-line and through any sort of acting connections you might have (e.g., high school drama teacher)
Consider acting classes or extracircular activities (e.g., theater or drama club, school plays) to expand your abilities beyond just villians.

Agreed with Desiree. Do research and get into normal acting groups. People in both careers tend to bleed into one another and you're likely to make some contacts that know opportunities if you just get the ball rolling. Find ways to get constructive criticism of your work early on, especially from anyone that has actual acting experience.
