Exactly what I did. My passion is film/video, and I've started carving out a nice little niche for myself, but still do commercials, VO work, the occasional singer/songwriter and whatever else wanders into my studio plus freelancing at other studios; everything from sound effects and dialog editing to basic audio donkey work like archiving, etc. which is when I get to kibitz with those more knowledgeable and experienced than I.
One nice thing about audio post work in your own studio; when you work on those freebee projects to gain experience you can make lots of mistakes and no one ever knows, you just keep experimenting until you get it right.
