On
October 21, Voice of the Youth Network’s Radio Broadcasting Academy was
conducted for the Communication students of St. Dominic College of Asia
in Bacoor, Cavite. About 30 students attended the half-day workshop to
learn about the basics of voice and radio broadcasting.
The workshop started with a short but
powerful motivational talk from VOTY Founder, Pocholo “The VoiceMaster”
Gonzales. The VoiceMaster challenged the participants to use
Broadcasting as an avenue to fulfill their life purpose and inspire
their fellow youth, instead of getting into Broadcasting for the purpose
of becoming rich and famous. He also talked about discovering their
life purpose, and went around the room to ask a few participants their
“why” in life.
Up next was VOTY’s Head Secretariat, Ada
Cuaresma, who did a mini-workshop on conducting radio interviews. Ada
started by sharing about VOTY – its mission and vision, and the radio
programs they produce all over the country. She then transitioned into
her topic, where she taught the students of the essential elements of an
interview. She also discussed the before, during and closing of an
interview, and gave the students tools and techniques to effectively
conduct interviews on radio.
The interview workshop was followed with
a quick lesson on voice, which was conducted by Voiceworx graduates
Andrew Miravalles and Romi Jallorina. They talked a little bit about
voice acting, and even led the students through a fun activity so that
they can experience it for themselves. They also shared their
experiences with Voiceworx, and even entertained the audience with their
repertoire of character voices.
The VoiceMaster came back onstage to
conclude the workshop with more words of encouragement. He invited the
participants to become part of VOTY’s radio shows, so that they can also
do their part to inform, inspire, involve and empower their fellow
youth.
