New journey starts for individuals coming from different fields as the SpeechCommCenter opened its new batch of SpeechWorx Express Talk, January 30.
A total of 19 students (nine from the 1-4pm and 10 from the 6-9pm) signed up for this batch and expressed their interest in learning more about oral communication and raise their self confidence level in the art of speaking.
And since at the SpeechCommCenter, students are expected to learn not just from its teachers but also from experience, they were already involved in activities to expose them more to publics speaking. In line with this, they had an activity which designed not just to let them speak but also for them to know more about each other, another very important chunk of communication. They were also given the chance to have their short impromptu speeches which was more of diagnostic examination so the teachers, led by Kyle Nofuente, would know their certain strengths and witnesses.
All the sessions would be recorded as well as well as their performances. This is to have a record of their improvement from time to time. In the end of the workshop, it would be then easier for their teachers to trace their development.
The VoiceMaster Pocholo Gonzales motivated hundreds of Human Resources (HR) officers to set their goals for this year 2012 during his talk for the HR Learning EB 5 last January 28 at the Claret School of Quezon City.
The VoiceMaster used his story as an example on how setting goals could be very helpful in being successful. Through his experiences, he explained that goal setting is even more important than planning because goals are the ultimate motivation why people exert effort.
He also asked everyone to look for their partners who became their “goal keepers.” Their goal keepers were the ones who were asked to keep their papers when they wrote their own goals for the next 12 months.
Being hands on is the key. Since the world of voice acting, most particularly dubbing, is what really intrigues and piques the curiosity of people, it is indeed a great chance for anyone to have a glimpse of what dubbers do in real life. And how about trying to feel it?
Just last January 28, VoiceWorx 19 attendees were able not just to take a peek but also to have the feel of what it is like to dub a material under the supervision of the one and only Mr. Danny ‘Ama’ Mandia, a reputable and well-experienced dubbing director for ABS-CBN.
Since Ama wanted to make the session more of ‘hands on’ instead of just being theoretical, he decided to let them try what it is like to be in the business by undergoing the same processes people in the industry undergo in reality from the preparation of the script to the dubbing proper.
In the process, it was apparent that many students were both nervous and excited. They were also able to feel some kind of stress and adrenaline but nevertheless, conquered everything with a sense of fulfillment.
Calling the attention of all the college students who want to have the feel of being a DJ!

Mellow 947’s School of Jocks is going to have an open audition for the year 2012 this coming February 4 (Saturday), 12 noon at the Lazerxtreme located on the 4th floor of Market! Market! This is to give college students who aspire to be jocks the chance to be a part of their “student centric” show.
Students who wish to audition must bring their resumes and school ID’s. School of Jocks is an “internship type of program” which is why it is only open for college students.
Apart from the chance to meet their favorite Mellow 947 Jocks, the first 50 auditionees will also get exciting surprises.

When in Manila
With the team, he visited the place where Rizal was born and he was raised and there he felt some kind of déjà vu, which he described as “being in a place for the first time but having the feeling as it you have been there before.” He also said that it he has always felt a strong connection to this idol.
In connection with the celebration of Colegio San Juan de Letran – Calamba City’s School of Education, Arts, and Sciences (SEAS) week, Pocholo “The VoiceMaster” Gonzales was invited as a keynote speaker during their seminar on “Personal Branding” held at the Fra. Angelico Hall, January 26.
In this talk, the VoiceMaster was able to move many students coming from different courses, proving that “Branding” is not just about business and marketing but is also applicable in every individual and is necessary in promoting one’s self through creating the right trademark.
No surprise, the students who listened to the VoiceMaster’s talk were really inspired after the seminar. They even cherished the chance to have photo opportunities with the VoiceMaster.
It was just one of the many schools that were already visited by the VoiceMaster for his talks on Voice Acting, Guerilla Marketing, Personal Branding, and Youth Leadership. It was also his first speaking engagement in this year and he is expected to visit many schools again to share his knowledge in different fields and inspire people.
Like what CreatiVoices claims, VoiceWorx is not just a mere basic voice acting ang dubbing workshop. It does not just teach individuals what they should learn in the art of voice acting but also allows them to get more inspiration and life lessons to help them not just in their careers or chosen fields but also in daily life.
Which is why, on the workshop’s third session with the VoiceMaster Pocholo Gonzales last January 21, the workshop attendees had their dose of motivational and life lessons–things that could inspire them as individuals.
It was very natural for the VoiceMaster himself is a well-known motivational speaker. As such, he has already moved thousands of people around the world and he believe that as a mentor, it would also be a great passion to share these inspiring stories to the ones who want to improve as voice artists.
This makes VoiceWorx a kind of personality development program at the same time. It does not just aim to teach the students things that they should know in the art of voice acting but also touches on simple daily life lessons which might sound too ordinary but were too helpful in every person’s life.
Aside from the striking words of wisdom from the VoiceMaster himself, all these were made even easier through the help of some activities that were done inside the class–some activities which, at first, seem so simple yet definitely helpful in one’s development. During the workshop, every participant was encouraged to be active, participate well, and relate to his/her co-attendees well.
But of course, apart from the hands-on activities, VoiceWorx also teaches its students how to be a good listener which, in reality, is a very important communication skill.
It is because we believe that apart from learning the basics, it also important for every voice artist or every aspiring one to improve as a person who communicates to his fellow as he goes on with his life.
So, it was no surprise that the students learned a lot of things during this day. They not just learned about how to create different voices through the powerful techniques taught to them. They were also able to get some inspiring things that they could carry anywhere they wander.
Since voice is every voice artist’s weapon, it is also important for every voice artist and aspiring voice artists to learn how to take care of his own voice. This is for one to make sure that he is not abusing what he is using in his craft and to ensure that it is properly cared for. This is one of the focuses of the second session of the VoiceWorx, January 14.
The session was facilitated by Mr. Brian Ligsay. He imparted some lessons on how to take care of the voice to the attendees as well as some lessons on the technicalities of voice acting. For instance, he also discussed how the microphone works and how different types of it should be used.
There were also other important things that were discussed during the session so it was no surprise that everyone was really able to learn a lot of things and enjoyed at the same time.
