Learning More About Technicals in Voice Artist Training

Hello, mga ka-KoolVoice!

For the second day of CVAP training, we finally got to have an idea on how to set up for the most ideal equipment for recording even when at home. I love how the basics were explained in a way that participants would understand so easily.

The night before Day 2, nag-set ako ng alarm na akala ko tutunog nang malakas para magising ako before 9:00 am. Eh ang nangyari, bumangon ako at around quarter to 10 am na! HAHAHAHA! At least nasa kalagitnaan na ako ng first half ng buong session. Yun bang ine-explain na kung paano gumamit ng Adobe Audition. At least may pambawi naman ako after the lunch break, hehehe.

I only got to catch up on the start of the session after the end of the complete first run, but I'm just elated that the instructor for that day, Mr. Joshua Simeon, gave a simple explanation on the equipment used for recording. It was then that I started to install Adobe Audition and got to play around with the effects. So far I am already able to record clips that are clear, clean and easy to comprehend! It took me a while before I could buy a condenser microphone that came with a V8 (for starters, it's what we decided to settle with) that we connected to our desktop.

Magaling din si Sir Joshua sa pag-explain ng terms related sa technicals. Some of these terms may familiarity na ako, whereas other terms have different meanings related to this particular line of work.

I also decided to take time in choosing my niche in the near future, whether I would consider voice dubbing, writing scripts for voice dubbing or as a voice-over in commercials or TV shows without having to leave home. As of this writing, I'm trying to find time to record more demo reels in order to further determine what my niche is.

Through this, I am certain na may mahahanap akong line of work related sa voice artistry that I will be passionate with. Something na gustung-gusto ko talagang gawin since childhood. Yes, minsan ginagaya ko ang boses ng mga dubbers ng mga karakter na batang lalaki sa mga telenovela, anime at Asian dramas when I was in grade school. Ramdam ko this will be the beginning of my journey in this particular industry!

Wish me the best of luck as I get to discover more things as I take on this adventure!

My First Day of the Certified Voice Artist Program Training

Day 1 Experience   Greetings everyone! Yes, it took me literally a long time before I was finally able to start my own vlog. As of now I’m still in the process of polishing it. But it should be ready as it is whenever I can find the time to render the finishing touches that are necessary. Anyway, I’d want to introduce (or reintroduce) myself, this time as someone who had long been wanting to enter the blogosphere. My name is Billicent Macuse, or Billi/Billie/Billy (any spelling will do, hahaha), a non-conventional 20-something who wanted to explore the world in my own special way.   How I learned about CVAP I was already in the process of applying for a work-from-home job for reasons such as wanting to save up on any possible allowance or simply spending more time with my family when I first heard about Certified Voice Artists Program or CVAP. Roilan Marlang, founder of Hands In Inclusion Pilipinas, had participated in the most recent batch of CVAP at the time, had...

On Taking Care of One's Voice, and the Importance of Voice Branding

Hello mga ka-Kool Voice! Now we're about to discuss some highlights of the Day 3 of CVAP Batch 12 training! Ms. Janeane Santos presented her lectures on the third day of Certified Voice Artists Program training. First, she explained about how a brand name brings a positive vibe to any voice artist. Then she explained the importance of practicing in any field, be it for a beginner or a veteran in the voice artist industry. One tip to be able practice is to record oneself. In this way, a voice artist can hear how they sound, and they can give themselves some necessary feedback. Ms. Janeane pointed out that our voices sound different from how we hear it, to how others actually hear it. Tongue twisters are also important in practicing, and I find myself doing it occasionally. I have re-learned that this is essential in helping improve one's pronunciation. I also loved na may sample tong twisters na prinisinta si Ms. Janeane during the middle of the Part 1 ng Day 3 session! Reading ...
