Dear Aspiring Voice Artists,,
My name is Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales, and I've got ONE question to ask that could change your life forever
...
Are YOU constantly hearing commercials that you know YOU could have voiced better? Commercials that would sound better if YOUR voice was used on them? I'll bet you hear them every day -- but do nothing but complain. Too many of us just accept things the way they are because 'it was done by a professional voice over guy or gal.' Stop settling for something YOU know you can do better! If that's the way you feel... then you'll be very excited to hear about the incredible opportunity I'm about to share with you...
I am living proof that the average person can overcome all the "odds" and become a successful VOICE OVER artist with the right training. I was right where you are... but I did something about it, and have been a successful Voice Over artist for almost fifteen years. I'm proud of my accomplishments -- but I'm not telling you this to brag. I'm telling you this because one of the most dangerous things you can do if you want to become a VOICE OVER artist is to put your faith in someone who has a decent voice and good intentions...
.. but has NO REAL CLUE about the TRUE insider techniques that make VOICE OVER artist like me SUCCESSFUL and IN-DEMAND. Unlike other so-called "gurus" who actually know next to nothing about training VOICE OVER talent...
.. I've been doing voice over training for more than 10 years... and I can train you! "It’s really a very good day today here at the UP Film Institute. The previous speaker was so good. Everyone was amazed of his voice acting. The speaker also made a lot of radio and TV commercials wherein he is the dubbing. He’s working in Creative Voices Productioins. He’s Pocholo Gonzales. There was a volunteer from Lyceum who tried out voice acting and I must say—
Ang galling niya!"
Alvin Marcelo - Y4IT UP Diliman 2008
Ever since radio stations began running commercials, people have been complaining about them. They are too long, there are too many of them. But what I hear the most is... people saying that they could have done a better job voicing the commercial. They say the person voicing it sounds crummy or squeaky or is putting the inflection on the wrong word or phrase. That it should have been 'this' or it should have been 'that'. But, they never do anything about it... except complain! Their friends tell them they have a good voice -- that they should be doing commercials. That's a great idea... but how do you get into the industry? It use to be quite time consuming and expensive. You need a commercial audition reel. For that, you need some commercial copy (what the voice over person is reading) and access to a recording studio. Getting your hands on some commercial copy can be a bit of work -- but usually inexpensive or even free. Studio time is a whole different story -- it can run to several thousand of pesos per hour. And, if you are just starting out, it may take quite a few hours to get an fully produced commercial audition reel. Along with commercials, there are many other things that need voicing -- corporate and industrial presentations, narrations, audio for websites -- just to mention a few. As long as there are products to voice -- there will be a need for good, skilled voice over artists. So, where do they come from? How do they acquire that skills necessary to get hired for voice over work? That's where our voice acting and dubbing training comes in...
I used to be in the exact same place you are right now. I was the biggest complainer of all -- and always talking about how I could do a better job voicing the commercial than 'the guy on the radio'. My friends told me that I had a pretty good voice and should think voicing commercials. So I did! Now, I'm a successful voice over artist with literally thousands of radio and television commercials to my credit. I have also done animation voices, character voices, corporate and industrial voice overs, narrations and audio for websites. But it wasn't easy and took a long time because there weren't many people who were offering any voice acting training. I was lucky to be working at ABS CBN Channel 2 as a dubber and DZMM and DZRH where I could access radio drama and radio ads and spend time in the recording booth. I put together a very crude commercial audition reel and took it to the few recording studios I could find in the local phone book. I did a number of commercial 'sessions' for free, just to get the experience and a better audition reel. I wondered if I was ever going to be a 'real' voice over artist or just a wanna-be. I'll never forget my first paying session. It was an Coke Commercial where I did the voice of a kid. It's only one line. It wasn't as glamorous as I had expected -- but the cheque cleared at the bank... and that was all that mattered. I was on my way... as a professional voice over artist. "With the right voice acting training, almost anyone can become a voice over artist...
..with virtually NO upfront investment!"
I wish that during my early years, I had known the tips & techniques that are available to you today. Instead, I had to learn these techniques through costly "trial and error", often wasting countless hours on something that turned out be of no value or cost me a lucrative voice session. But YOU don't have to make any of those mistakes -- you get the benefit of our experience! Imagine standing at a microphone in your own home studio doing a voice over for someone who came to you for your services! How cool is that? So, why am I doing this? I'm SICK of seeing good, honest people being taken advantage of by so-called "special" techniques that aren't really special at all. My voice over training has been proven successful over 15-years. My voice over training offers so much more than just learning to read with a professional sounding voice. You will also learn...
to interpret the copy. effective pacing and pausing. proper inflection. enunciation and articulation. reading faster but still legible. vocal and facial exercises to keep your muscles limber. tricks to get those facial muscles to work when they don't want to. and, various microphone techniques that will dramatically change the way you sound.
