All in a Day's Work

I work full-time but I still take on side voicing projects. I've been doing this since 1989 (Stop doing the math! I'm thirty-something!) My voice was 'discovered' when I started working in radio at a station called 99.5RT back when it was one of the best around. Nowadays, it's... changed. And gotten itself a new name - Hit 995...

But I digress. Sorry. I'm a woman who hasn't Vox-ed recently so forgive me.

Anyway.

I was asked by my former employer, major television network, GMA to voice a then hush-hush script for a re-launch of its subsidiary. Wow. Since working in a corporate job three years ago, I have had to turn down lots of commercials and the like, so this offer came as a surprise. Not just one but THREE projects were given to me.

So I voiced the new plug, the accompanying AVP (audio-visual presentation) and the live announcements at the press launch!

The last is where I was at last night - at the very posh Greenbelt 2 in Makati at Mezze. I was surrounded by local celebrities and the rich people I normally only read about in the society pages... (Guilty! So I peek...)

The project? The re-launch of Qtv. They've moved up their demographic target from C and D, to A and upper B.

And where exactly was I amidst the pseudo-royalty? Hidden away next to the director with the rest of the hired production hands.

Didn't get any autographs or pictures. Puh-leeze. I just read about these people. But I did get to sample the yummy appetizers that a kind waiter passed around for us the 'people not dressed for a press launch and from a different socio-economic bracket'.

All in all, it was an interesting night.
