Wazzup Pilipinas!
It’s summertime!
Many people are most likely getting ready to take their much-awaited vacation to the beach or to a Disneyland. Some, especially those students who just finished their thesis last semester, just want to spend their summer vacation catching up on sleep and just chillin’. But if you’d like to make your summer more memorable, productive and impactful, you can spend it attending summer workshops.
Today’s world is fast-paced and competitive. It is almost a requirement to turn your hobbies and interests into usable skills. The good news is that there are courses that would not take years or even semesters to finish. From performing arts such as singing and dancing, sports like basketball and tennis, and other interests like baking and photography, there are summer camps and summer clinics practically on almost all types of interests in various locations in the metro.

For more than a decade, my own company has been offering voice acting
workshops every summer. Voiceworx –
Basic Voice Acting and Dubbing Workshop – is an
8-Saturday workshop that teaches the fundamentals of voice acting, including
creating character voices, voice care, and script analysis and translation. I’m
proud to say that this workshop – the first and only in the country – has opened
the doors of what was once an elusive industry to those who have the passion
and dedication to master the craft.
I myself have been an advocate of short courses like summer workshops. I
have studied month-long courses in other countries to deepen my knowledge for my
own passions and interest – leadership, youth empowerment, among many others.
That’s why I also encourage the people I meet to do the same.
