Yes, it’s a loaded question. And no, I don’t have a single answer for you. But instead, I have a few of them. Whether you’re looking for one-on-one mentorship, communities of voice actors, group courses to sign up for, or a combination of these things, lemme try and point you to some of the best places to learn how to be a voice actor or voice talent in the Philippines.

Join the Clubhouse

2023.09.05 — Leave a comment

If you’re a voice actor seeking feedback, education, and community, I’d like to invite you to join the Voice Actors at Home PH Clubhouse. I’ve said before that feedback is currency in this industry (and let’s be honest, this is true for so many other things). And I’m sure I’ve repeated the idea that we should #NeverStopLearning several times, whether here, or elsewhere online. On top of this, I’ve espoused the value of joining communities of like-minded people. I stand by all of these ideas, and that’s why I’m extending this invitation.

And in the name of full transparency:

  • the link above is an affiliate link for a lifetime membership, and
  • I’ve also got a discount code, which I’ll share below

Now, with that clear, let’s talk about what the Clubhouse is all about.

Feedback is Currency

I’m never gonna stop saying this: #NeverStopLearning. And a big part of learning is knowing (and accepting) that you don’t know everything. In fact, more likely than not, you know nothing, or next to it. This is why feedback is so important – it fills in gaps in your knowledge.

And this is especially true in any creative endeavor, like voice work. As artists, we’re prone to falling in love with our own work, or in our case, the sounds of our own voices. So we often find ourselves repeating patterns and forming bad habits. Worse, we don’t notice when this happens.
