VoiceWorx Closed Its Curtain For Its Final Run For Batch 50; Take A Glimpse At The Past Sessions For One Last Time


"It's a wrap!" Similar to a movie or TV production shooting, a director would shout these words at the end. In Filipino context, they may use "Pack-up na!" phrase. VoiceWorx workshop wrapped up with a BLAST as the 8-week sessions provided holistic and applicable learning for the last set of students, Batch 50.



Before VoiceWorx bid goodbye as 2019 comes to an end and a new era of training workshop will start in 2020, let us recall the highlights from the past two months:

Reymar Peña assessing the audio clips of students' voice files
Day 8, November 30, 2019 - VoiceWorx Batch 50 did their voice filing. This is the process of recording a sample demo reel of their voice acting skills as they deliver different scripts and it was saved in the database of CreatiVoices Productions. Reymar Peña directed their voice filing and provided them scripts for commercial VO's, recorded prompt messages, narration for children's show and documentary, and many more. The students enjoyed voice filing as it is another step for them to close their first projects as professional voice artists.


VoiceWorx Batch 50 surely learned everything by heart and are eager for opportunities in the near future. As of this writing time, Some of them have already gone to a network station to audition for roles in a Tagalized movie and series. Others have created a segment in VG8 online radio and started to become DJ's in their respective show. 

Truly, VoiceWorx is worthy to be remembered for life-long learning and experience. May this be the start of something greater for the dreamers. They expressed their gratefulness to every instructor who imparted their skills and knowledge together with their life lessons and experience.
