CERTIFIED VOICE OVER ARTIST WEEK FOUR REVIEW

The FOURTH week of the Certified Voice Artist Program was launched last Saturday July 12, 2020 once more by the Voicemaster himself, Pocholo de leon Gonzales. This workshop was hosted by yours truly Richard Abalos or "The Rich Voice" and co-hosted by one of our voicemates, Kate de Vera in the morning, and also by Jean-Sensei in the afternoon. The workshop ran from 9am - 5pm. 

The workshop mostly discussed about setting up your own home studio, from Microphones, Acoustics, Headphones, and Digital Audio Workstations among other things. It is important to have a Microphone as the starting investment. USB Microphones are the way to go, ranging from P4,000 - 12,000. You don't need high end equipment to be able to produce a good quality voice, because at the end of the day, your skill and talent will be your biggest investment, these equipments are just for enhancements and support!

After lunch, each Breakout Rooms showcased their dubbing skills by voicing a scene of Voltes V. The purpose of this was to apply what we have learned during the Four Week Workshop. This was a challenging task as we did this online via Share Screen. One of the key issues were the Latency of the connection. Not all participants have stable internet, so there were some delays in delivering the Dubbing performance, but after all groups have performed, the outcome was surpisingly much better than expected!

This just shows that if you want to be an effective Voiceover Artist, one key takeaway here is you have to do whatever it takes to execute! Not even an unstable Internet Connection can stop your goals and dreams. This would be our last week of our workshop, and how time flies fast. This first batch will set a standard for future shows and online hosts in Vg8 Radio that will sure provide value to our audience. To become the standard and the role models for the future Certified Voiceover Artists!

I am looking forward for everyone to become CERTIFIED!
