DUBBING ACADEMY DAY 3 = BATCH 1

 







The day begins with our  Direk Neil Ericson Tolentino by the ever-energetic vibe. It was a funny and engaging day for us. 

The lectures begin: ADR - known as Automated Dialogue Replacement

Automated dialogue replacement (ADR) is the process of re-recording an actor's dialogue in a quiet environment, during post-production to improve audio quality or make changes to the originally scripted dialogue. During an ADR session, the performer or replacement actor watches a looped scene in order to dub new dialogue over the original production track.
ADR / DUBBING SCRIPT: Script uses during ADR Session in film, tv or commercials.
ADR SCRIPTWRITER – goes through the entire episode/scene/movie and uses the translations to write an adapted speech that not only fits their native audience but fits properly with the lip flaps of the characters.
WHY USE ADR:
Noisy location: No matter how much you try to dampen the surroundings of a location, sometimes there's no way of getting around an unwanted sound. If you're a production sound mixer, it's a good idea to bring those issues to the director to let them decide if they want to do another take or not. Whatever the decision, be sure to make notes on what takes may need ADR. 
 
Unintelligible dialogue: Sometimes talent can say something that just can't be heard or even understood. There even may be some circumstances where a single word in a captivating performance was mispronounced. You don't need to throw the whole takeaway, you can simply fix that single word. 
 
Accents: When actors use an accent for their characters, sometimes it doesn't always go as planned. When you get to test screenings, people can just flat out not connect with it. That's where ADR can come in and replace the lines with the new accent. 
 
Non-verbal sounds: ADR can also be used to add breathing, laughter, gasps, or sighs to the performance. 
 
The story changes: No matter how detailed the script, a story can shift in the cutting room and leave you with plot holes. That's where ADR can shine. A simple cut away to another actor or a shot that doesn't show the actor's face allows you to add a new line of dialogue where your audience won't realize the difference. 
CONCEPT OF LANGUAGE: a system of conventional spoken, manual (signed), or written symbols by means of which human beings, as members of a social group and participants in its culture, express themselves.

DUBBING ACADEMY DAY 2 = BATCH 1

 








The day begins with the Voice Master dubbing in our session, grateful and thankful for another day and blessings of the Lord.  Everyone is also excited and eager and curious about the dubbing training and of course our mentors and coaches and organizer that made it possible. Once in a lifetime experience and opportunity for all of us. 

Sir Danny explain to us what is acting means and how to do it in dubbing and apply it in our output.

Acting is an activity in which a story is told by means of its enactment by an actor or actress who adopts a character—in theatre, television, film, radio, or any other medium that makes use of the mimetic mode. ... The vast majority of professional actors have undergone extensive training.

How do you describe acting?
acting, the performing art in which movement, gesture, and intonation are used to realize a fictional character for the stage, for motion pictures, or for television. Acting is generally agreed to be a matter less of mimicry, exhibitionism, or imitation than of the ability to react to imaginary stimuli.


Is acting creatively?
Acting As A Form Of Creative Art

Actors must make the character come to life for television, motion pictures, or the stage. This character realization requires talent, creative thinking, and a lot of hard work so that the audience can see the real inner-self of the role in question.

And also to use our character voice in familiarizing our vocal register.

And the afternoon activity was a very motivating experience as we apply the learning from sir Danny. Job well-done guys learn a lot from this day 2. Looking forward again to the next sessions. God Bless!

CVAP DAY 4 CVAP Batch 11


 MEMORABLE AND UNFORGETTABLE Day 4 Batch 11



The day begins with a happy tongue twister for everyone. And everyone is an enthusiast in this morning to wake up everybody in a new day. This is the last day of our training and seems everyone is still excited, motivated, and inspired. You can see in the smile, face, and voice of everybody. 


And Ma'am Nikki once again visited us and, support us, motivate us on our last day of training. Reminding us always to love and accept our own voice and to be the number 1 fan of ourselves. Use our voice to empower others in doing our purpose because someone out there needs to hear our voice or story. She also gives 2 microphones to lucky voice artists that need equipment in starting their own best output of voice-over to help. To focus and be consistent after graduation of being a voice artist just like our tasks in our training. To continue to develop and improve our voice to be great.


Our speaker ma'am Janeane Santos is also a CVAP graduate, known as the golden voice. And beautiful voice artist, 💘. The inspiring story also of becoming a voice artist. In spite of many and various auditions, she never gives up. She pursues her love, passion, and purpose of becoming a great voice artist. Again a powerful testimony of pursuing your dreams, that no one can stop as long as you are determined and focused.




She thought us the importance of practice3x in order for us to be the best and great voice artists. Every field uses this mindset to be the best in their careers. Practice makes perfect.


The importance of practice will take us always to be the best voice artist. It is a continuous process in developing, improving, and growing as a voice artist.


THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS 




She also teaches where to get clients and build a good relationship after giving a voice over with them in order for us to refer in their friends or partners in business. And to market ourselves in auditions and several groups to join in order to collaborate with them also to widen our experience. It is a good start in searching for clients and sending demos of our output to clients. And don't lose hope just be positive because if it is your time to shine no one can stop




.
Rejection is a motivation to be the best. There is always a chance to achieve your goal. Rest and continue your passion. Don't lose hope never, never, never. Move forward and bounce back better than before, strive to be the best of whatever you do to inspire others. We will never know our chance or opportunity to come. So do your best at all times. Rejection happens, it's natural, it is a part of your journey as a great voice artist.






YOURSELF IS THE GREATEST PERSON THAT CAN STOP YOU

"LAW OF ATTRACTION "



AND THE DUBBING AFTERNOON ACTIVITY ............💪💪💪💪💪💪💪



The man behind the 36 voice visited us also, sir Jay Jay.

CVAP DAY 3 OF BATCH 11


 

HAPPY, FUNNY, AND JOYFUL Day 3, 😄😄😄




Sir Pocholo inspires us again telling us how he stands and continues his purpose in spite of the pandemic crisis, how he manages to move forward and help people to stand on their own. I admire how sir Pocholo gave as hope to continue in life and move forward. He wants people to fight in spite of the crisis that is happening and at the same time give them an opportunity to join CVAP, it was free training for everyone who wants to use their voice and skills in creating a better version of themselves, inspire others. And to move forward in times of difficulties that we are experiencing right now.







Day 3, I want to begin this by saying ....what am I living for? Just as the voice master convicting question. I was asking myself that question also because I believe that it will give us wisdom and enlightenment in living in this world. 

Steve Jobs in his quote" We are here in the world to put a dent". And the connection to the question of sir Pocholo is exactly connecting in that quote. A word that will give us a question to define and determine our existence in this world. 


John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

I was reminded of this bible verse. Every one of us has a purpose in God's amazing grace. It's up to us to figure it out. Through His Word, we will find our purpose and the true meaning of life. To serve others is the greatest way to find your own purpose in life. To love them as yourself. That's why I really love the mantra of sir Pocholo. I thought this voice training is just learning to be a great voice artist but I was surprised and amazed to learn the words of wisdom of the Voice Master. I salute the dedication, compassion, and love that he was sharing with the world. 





And ma'am Nikki Esmero the executive director of cvap visited us in our day 3, reminded us once again to enjoy the training. I love her joke ;;;Ang nagtaas ng kamay ay magkaka jowa or mag iimprove yong love life. hehehe''' sana all may jowa because i am a single..huhuhu.....just kidding in crying, praying my partner also, 💖

To accept also our own voice and love our own voice. For sharing our story to everyone to inspire others. and again reminding us the word VOLUNTEERISM idea is the best way to widen our experience and develop our voice.





What's up....!!! PAPA LEM IN THE HOUSE......wowowwwowowoowoooooo- our speaker for the day

The happy, funny, and joyful guy is sir Papa Lem. I very interesting beginning also in his career of being a voice artist. He teaches us how to market our voice and how to create great social content. And also our gadgets and devices in creating our own voiceover to send the clients. To explore, volunteers and practice is a combination of being a great voice artist. To use social media or maximize it to make as a tool in marketing our voice. To be able to widen our digital marketing in the industry of voice artists. Social Media is our gasoline.

And the afternoon activity......................




Again everyone is in focus, I can tell in the faces of my batchmate. We are worried about our zoomarte because we didn't know if our output is suiting for the ear of our mentors and coaches. But I think we did our best and just go with enjoyment to be able to apply our learning. Happy for the outcome of my break-out room because we are able to overcome our fears and our confidence also is beginning to level up. That's it, guys!



HAPPY, FUNNY, AND JOYFUL Day 3, 😄😄😄, to be continued,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
