My First Day in CVAP


It was really a dream-come-true experience for me to be part of the Certified Voice Artist Program (CVAP). I was always fascinated by the testimonials of the pioneer members whenever I browse the different channels where their videos are uploaded. I was amazed how these trainees underscored the great changes in their personalities and principles as they were joining the program. 
Perfect timing!
 Yes, you read it right, folks. It was late in the evening of April 8 this year when I attempted to send a message to Sir Pocholo De Leon Gonzales who is widely known for his pseudonym "the Voice Master" who happens to be a native of Mariveles where I am living up to now. I bravely expressed my intention and interest to join the CVAP and he encouraged me to send a short video stating the reason why I want to join, what are my expectations and what will I do next after the short course. Sadly, I was tested positive for CoViD-19 and it took me less than a month to recover. I was not able to do some follow-ups as to how and when I will be joining the training. I almost forget that once in my life, I experienced enrolling in a short course since the present pandemic has brought a lot of chaos in all aspects of our existence. Being part of the 9th batch and being chosen as one of the scholars is undeniably such a blessing to me. After waiting for four months long, here I am now attending the first day of our session. I am grateful beyond words because of the light approach (except for the bulk of assignments! Hahhhaha!) of the officers as they share their thoughts about the undertaking. I would like to take this rare chance to express my thanks to sir "Choy" Pocholo Gonzales for trusting and giving me the opportunity to improve myself through this Certified Voice Artist Program.
I used to be a trainer-coach in Script Production and Radio Broadcast Simulation and other writing categories in our school and in other divisions under the Department of Education but I truly believe that I also need to unlearn and relearn things as to how I will improve what I already possess.
During my early years as a student, I encountered joining in sports like track and field, TaekWonDo, volleyball, and I experienced joining a  choir playing the voice tenor, and I also joined various writing competitions but I consider joining CVAP as a one-of-a-kind experience.
Aside from learning new things, CVAP will surely be an avenue for all of us to widen our horizons and gain new friends and we'll continue to inspire each other, and most of all, be an inspiration to others.

My Reaction on Sir Danny "Ama" Mandia's Talk

  I am not actually familiar about Direk Danny Mandia until I was given the chance to be a part of CVAP and until he was given the slot to share a bit of his roundabouts in the field of dubbing. I was really mesmerized on the way he retold his experience as a professor in Merriam College and as a dubbing director at the same time. He shared about the secrets and tips to be a successful dubber. According to direk "Ama", he considers himself as "monster" whennit comes to coaching his trainees in dubbing. He always sees to it that his students incorporate the value of discipline everytime they are inside the studio. "Kung walang disiplina ang isang tao at siguradong walang mararating", direk Danny reiterated. As one of the zoom viewers who witnessed his talk, I got even more fascinated with the numerous works he contributed in the dubbing industry. This even brought me back to my younger days when I and my childhood friends were watching "tagalized"

My 2nd Day in CVAP

It's a sad day for me! I wasn't able to attend the afternoon session because of the message through a phone call from my cousin that my adoptive father Tatay Arthur has given up his last breath at past ten in the morning. September 11 is not a favorable date for me and I have to admit the reality that we only live once. I can not be the person who I am now without the things tatay had taught me. He instilled in me the importance of respect, patience and being fair, at all times.  It's really hard for me to focus in listening to the virtual class this morning. What I remember is that "The Voice Master" sir Choy discussed about the formula in voice acting and he portrayed and showed some examples of the voices he can project by applying the techniques like the voice variety, proper voice care and avoiding monoty in delivering the script. Sir Pocholo also underscored that each voice is dynamic and can always be changed and improved. Mr. Joshua Simeon also shared abou
