Who wants to be a voice artist?
As we all know, being a voice artist is the dream of so many anime fans.  Now, the BEST OF ANIME together with CreatiVoices Productions will be giving Best of Anime attendees the chance to fulfill this dream!
Hosted by CreatiVoices Productions founder Pocholo Gonzales AKA The VoiceMaster, Who Wants To Be A Voice Artist? will give aspiring voice artists a chance to win a 10k worth of voice acting workshop scholarship and a chance to get a role in an upcoming paid project of CreatiVoices Productions!
Who Wants To Be A Voice Artist? will take place at 4:00 PM on Sunday, September 18 at the Function Room 4 and 5, 3rd level, SMX Conventon Center Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.
The VoiceMaster will put attendees through a series of contests, testing their vocal skills and range, narrowing the voice actor hopefuls down until only one remains. The contest will consist of three rounds: Prepared Material, Versatility, and Automatic Dialogue Replacement.
Round 1 – Prepared Material
Contestants will perform a monologue or scene no longer than one minute in duration. The material can be taken from any source (film, theater, anime, original works, etc.). Contestants must provide their own material for this round.
Round 2 – Versatility Challenge
For the delight of the audience and the embarrassment of the contestants, those remaining in the game will be provided with a passage and a specific character-type to use when reading their text. This wild and wacky event is all about speed, poise, and having a good sense of humor as our contestants will have to instantly conjure up characters from every corner of the imagination.
Round 3 – ADR – DUBBING
ADR is short for Automatic Dialogue Replacement or Dubbing, and it’s what voice acting is all about. This is where the final group of contestants must lend their voices to an actual anime character. No prep, no rehearsal, no sweat… right?
The winner, to be determined by a panel of voice actor and voice director judges, will receive 10k worth of voice acting workshop scholarship and a chance to get a role in an upcoming paid event of CreatiVoices Productions!
