Newbie to Voice>>> Help Needed

I need help to get started with knowing Voice things, I completed my CCIE in routing and switching and now planning for a career in Unified Communications what cisco calls it now a days.
As I have all understanding of data networks but I am at entry level in the field of voice, I have neither worked nor seen any voice equipments apart from my IP phone and don't know about them either.
Also as I don't have any work experience, need help how to get my career started in Voice
So I would like to know more about how to get started, currently i have chosen to start CCNA voice as this is the very basic exam
So what material should i Use to study not from the Exam perspective but from real production environment perspective.
Regards

Some people squeak by with Dynamips/Dynagen/GNS3 and soft phones and never actually configure a real Digital or Analog voice interface or touch a real IP Telephone.
The Smarter People toss in some real routers, analog & digital interfaces, and real phones and fax machines.
I suggest building a lab that at least mimics the Multi-Site Deployment Model with Centralized Call Processing (with at least 2 branch offices and a functional PSTN Cloud).
If you "do the CCVP right" you should be able to appreciate the links I posted in the http://www.techexams.net/forums/ccvp/40317-voip-site-surveys.html thread.
If you are around NYC, my company might even hire you if you don't mind start off as a VoIP NOC support
