The VoiceMaster Pocholo Gonzales was featured on the February 5-11 issue of The Voice, a weekly publication in Central Luzon and on Central Luzon Business Week February 1-7 issue.
In the same photographs posted on the two publications, the VoiceMaster poses with Vice President Jejomar Binay. Like what the captions say, people think that The VoiceMaster would be a public servant in the province of Bataan in the future.
Under Neil “Papa” Tolentino, a well-experienced script writer/ translator and dubbing director for ABS-CBN, students of VoiceWorx 19 learned about script writing and translation which are some skills that also have largely to do with voice acting.
Apart from a lecture on the basics, these students were also exposed to that day’s lessons through their activities and exercises.
Having learned all the essential things about public speaking for the past six sessions, it was now the moment for the students to have a taste of what is going to happen during their final speeches and judgment on the 8th and definitely the last day.
So last February 8, they had free speech exercises under Bob Quilapio where they were given the chance to deliver speeches and were evaluated based on these. It was more or less a preparation for their final speeches to be delivered on their last session where they would also have their final evaluation.
Carla Mejia, the voice behind several educational audio books and a well-experienced teacher of English as a Second Language, was the instructor of the fifth day of SpeechWorx, which focused on pronunciation and enunciation, last February 6.
Students, on this day, has listening activities for them to learn things related to the lessons and were exposed to these points through related activities which also served a practice for them.
Like what is always emphasized in SpeechWorx, public speaking is not just about the skills and content for the voice is also something that matters. This was the focus of the lesson on SpeechWorx’ Day 6, February 7.
Through the instructor of the day, none other than the VoiceMaster Pocholo Gonzales, the students also learned about voice techniques and how it can be used properly in transforming ordinary speeches to extraordinary one.
“Communicating with impact” was the the focus of the third day of this batch’s SpeechWorx, February 1. Through Al Ian Barcelona, a reputable motivational speaker, the students learned how to make communicating something extraordinary.
They were also taught about the ways on how to capture the audience’s attention when speaking. In fact, they learned about how knowing about the trends becomes an advantage in speech for being updated can actually play a big role in the success of one’s speech.
Like the previous days, the attendees also did some activities which were designed not just to expose them more to speaking but to become more comfortable in expressing themselves.
After having learned about the importance and power of story as well as the ways to make an impact, students learned about the necessary preparations for speeches on the fourth day of SpeechWorx, February 3. Their teacher for the day was Cornelius Bascara, an educator.
And since the students are also expected to learn about speaking with substance, they were also taught how to develop their ideas in their speeches and therefore, for them to be able to produce speeches that are sound and to ensure that they learned something, they were asked again to speak one by one and deliver their crafted speech.
One of the most important things that has to be considered by every speaker is the story. It is actually an effective way of immediately engaging and affecting the audience. Which was why on the second day of SpeechWorx last January 31, the students were asked and encouraged to tell their own stories.
Led by the instructor of the day Kyle Nofuente, these attendees were given a chance to talk about the stories that has big impacts to their own lives. They were also taught how to connect these stories to the things around them so talking to them would be more sincere, alive, and engaging.
