Welcome VOICEMATES!

Dear Fellow Voice Artist,                                                                                                                            I’d like to congratulate you for being here. Because it means one thing...it means that you’re crazy! Yes, that’s right, you’re C-R-A-Z-Y....crazy! And you’ve come just in the right place because you’re exactly the kind of student that I want, crazy. Why? Well, why not? Why be normal when you can be crazy enough to stand out? Why allow yourself to be dictated by the norms of society when you can just be as unique as you are? Don’t you know that you are already perfect in your imperfections? There is nothing wrong with you my friend, it’s high time that you accept and embrace yourself for who you really are. And if you join the Certified Voice Artist Program (CVAP), I’ll lead you into a journey where you can maximize your unique potentials and help you become a positive change agent at the same time.

You see I didn’t put up the Voice Acting Academy Philippines (formerly the Philippine Center for Voice Acting [PCVA]) to produce regular voice talents. Any other veteran in the voice acting industry can do that. I put up the first and only voice acting school in the Philippines in 2005 when nobody else wanted to do so, because I had a vision of producing VOICE ARTISTS. What differentiates voice artists from voice talents? The answer is simple -- HEART. While voice talents just want to get into the voice acting industry for the money, voice artists are different, because just like me, they are in it for a MISSION. And that mission involves using our respective voices in creating positive changes in people and in society. Our voices are a gift from God, so it is just proper that we use it to make this world a better place to live in. I am happy to have influenced the youth to develop their respective voices and use it to become positive influencers in society. And I was a proud Filipino when I was recognized for this feat in 2003 in Washington D.C. (2nd Youth Action Net Award from the International Youth Foundation) and in 2004 in New York City (Global Youth Action Award from the Global Youth Action Network). If you join me in this program, I will do the same for you, regardless of your background. I will lead you to learn how to accept, nurture, and love your unique voice. Together, we will then develop that further, so that you too can become a positive influence to others in your own way. Join me in my mission in changing the world, one voice at a time.
