CVAP Week 3 Blog

The third week started with the typical Zoom-mustahan. I'm a little disappointed because I am a bit busy in the past weeks because of work so I am always not able to join the sessions on Zoom. Instead, I catch the live instead. The morning sessions started with Miss Janeane Santon AKA The Golden Voice. She told us about her journey on becoming a Voice Artist. It is very inspiring to see that she had a whole different career before she joined CVAP. She had so many insights on the world of Voice and it is just awe inspiring. It is now only talent that makes you a good voice artist but also you have to put in the work to practice and perfect your craft. So how to practice? She taught us that you can practice anytime. Even just going around the house and just practicing Voice over work for the different products you see. She also suggested doing voice over challenges on Tiktok. There are just so many ways to practice. Another way to practice was to do tongue twisters. We also discussed Voice Acting Techniques: Having different voices for different characters. Another thing we discussed was Voice care which I really need because I throw out my voice from talking a lot. Tips on Voice Care 1. Drinks lots of water 2. Avoid Food and Drinks that are harmful to your voice (e.g. sweets, coffee) 3. Voice Rest 4. Proper Posture 5. Proper Breathing 6. Should not shout or whisper 7. Warm-up 8. Salt Water Gargle 9. Avoid Pollutants (e.g. Smoke, pollen) 10. Consult Doctor for Persistent Cough, Sore throat or other similar conditions In the afternoon session, we had a new mentor which was The Voice Magic: Mr. Adsel Florendo. I really like the part of the session with Sir Patrick. It was so nice to hear from someone who is very talented with Voicing Characters.
