BLOG ENTRY#4 "My Day 4 class experience in Certified Voice Artist Program"

Hello, today is the final day of CVAP and the final day of the class. Everything appears to be moving along so quickly that the final day arrives right away. Ma'am Lyn taught me that you should really put it in your portfolio or even if you have created your own voice reels that you can give to your clients if they need, for example, your capable voices if calm or something like upbeat. The voice artist really needs to be versatile. This is perhaps my biggest realization. One of the things I've come to really understand is that you should always be willing to learn, especially when another voice actor has a tip they think you might find useful. If there are free classes available, just sign up if you think you might be able to learn something useful about voice acting. Perhaps I took away from this experience the necessity to give your all in whatever you do as a VO since, of course, it's all a one-time event and you have to live up to your clients' expectations. Then Mam Lyn taught us the things that should be avoided when accepting clients, like having something to sign or talking about how it will be paid, as well as how to avoid scam clients or scam Facebook pages. She also taught us how a voice artist should make a resume and the productions in the Philippines that can be applied for, like Creativoices Productions.

BLOG ENTRY#3 "My Day 3 class experience in Certified Voice Artist Program"

Because of how inventive the hosts were with their sample quiz and costumes, this session is my favorite thus far. I was really excited for today's session since I wanted to learn from the trainers there. The first conversation we had was led by Ms. Janeane Santos, a skilled independent voice actress. She focused her presentation on how to properly train and care for your voice, which was one of the most important things to remember. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry! The basics of voice practice are then covered, including recording oneself, tongue twisters (she provided some as examples), reading sample scripts, and using symbols to indicate.

She suggested the voice acting technique known as MOVE, which stands for movement, orchestrates, vocal, and expression. She taught us how to effectively use human sounds, gave us 10 important tips on how to take care of our voices, and advised us to consult a doctor if we had a chronic cough or sore throat. She concluded the chat with three original advices: the first was to revive your enthusiasm and remember your motivations. That is a great one, especially when we are challenged and on the verge of giving up. We should never lose sight of our "whys."

The following trainer, Papa Lem or Voice Pappy, is a voiceover actor for radio and television commercials as well as a social media influencer. I am really looking forward to seeing him because he is humorous and entertaining to watch. He discussed how to enhance your voice and sell your talent by talking about the necessity for voice variation, character voice formulas, leveraging social media as a marketing tool, and content production as a CVA.

BLOG ENTRY#2 "My Day 2 class experience in Certified Voice Artist Program"

It was a beautiful day to begin our second day of classes in CVAP; we had a superb first speaker in the morning who I had listened to on Tiktok and who had astounded me with his ability and voice acting abilities. Mr. Joshua instructs and shares with us the fundamental tools you'll need to start building your own home recording studios for voice acting, such as various kinds of microphones, mixers, and software.

 Because it is what interests me, I was really interested in what He was saying as well as the soft wares. As a prospective voice artist, learn how to use basic editing software and invest in your first tools. He also talks about our areas of specialization, such as mine. Where my ability and abilities fit in. After hearing that, I realized that my voice is best suited for voice-over work, commercials, and advertisements. I also believe that I can perform dubbing, work in animation, and play characters, such as those in radio dramas, but I still need more formal training, and CVAP is the best school for that.

BLOG ENTRY#1 "My Day 1 class experience in Certified Voice Artist Program"

I got up early to attend my first session in the certified voice acting program. At first, I was anxious since I would be interacting online with many amazing individuals, but I was also eager to learn from them. I prepare my gadget, laptop, and ring light before attending the zoom meeting at nine in the morning, when the lesson begins. I found it amusing how many people were in the same class with me at the time. I was really taken aback by their impassioned comments, but we'll make you feel welcome anyway. The hosts are really cheerful and pleasant, and they interview some of my co-voicemates as though they had known each other forever, which is hilarious.

We also listen to the presenters as they introduce the first lesson's subjects to us; throughout the program's morning session, I learnt a lot. After a one-hour lunch break, the afternoon program of activities continues. We split up into groups of 14 to 15 people for our activity that session, and we all gathered in a breakout room. I was designated to group three, which has the name VOXTRESS.

My teammates will make you feel like family since they are so friendly, helpful, and approachable. In our group, getting to know one another and learning about our personalities, skills, and passions comes first. Then, utilizing our various voices, we created a creative way to introduce ourselves as a whole. We begin our brainstorming since everyone in my group is so brilliant and also is contributing ideas. We effectively introduce our group; it was a fantastic way to begin.

It was wonderful to hear the many voices that my voicemates create in the groups, which all gave excellent presentations and are all outstanding. Some of them have Siri-like AI robot voices, while others have the voices of radio drama actors, DJs, hosts, anime and cartoon characters, and commercial voice actors like mine. I was quite anxious about my internet connection on that particular day, and I prayed that I wouldn't lose connection or be sent to zoom because there had been a lot of rain at that time, which had a negative impact on our connection. But praise God, there is no conflict during our presentation, and everything goes as planned. All in all, it was a wrap!
