As they say, every industry has a small world of different experts in it. What are her experiences and memories with the VoiceMaster? She gave an interesting recollection from her memories,"Kasi si Choy at ako, we go way back early 2000 pa yung magkakilala kami, magkasama sa projects, magkaibigan. Tapos, siguro yun memorable thing about us is di niya ako nakakalimutan every time meron siyang project. Nattouch ako kasi tinatawagan niya ako, “Oh Ate may project ako”, ganyan ganyan. Once in a while tinatawagan niya ako."
From giving leads and heads up about incoming projects, the VoiceMaster invited Ms. Yvette to do a long-time wish she had in mind to do. She shared, "Hanggang sa kinuha niya akong magturo dito (VoiceWorx) na it’s a good opportunity for me. Kasi masarap i-share yun kung anong nalalaman mo doon sa mga taong gustong pumasok sa kung nasaan ka ngayon. It’s like helping, masarap tumulong di ba? Buti na lang na nagcome-up si Choy ng ganitong klaseng workshop kasi marami naman siyang natulungan sa workshop na to. Hindi ko lang alam kung paano tumulong kasi ako being a dubbing director ang kukunin kong dubber ko syempre yun alam kong marunong na."
Hitting two birds with one stone, Ms. Yvette isn't only teaching aspiring voice acting artists but she's also opening doors of opportunities especially those whom she saw potential, "Pero through the workshops, nakikita ko yung may may potential, na ay ito pwede pala to, madaling turuan to, madaling magtake ng instructions, magaling siya, may talent siya. So nakakakita akong bagong talents thru these workshops. Kasi masarap ding nagtiwala ka sa baguhan na to and later on, magtthrive siya dito sa industry tapos gagaling siya. Nakakaproud, di ba? Kasi parang mentor ka niya di ba? Nakakaproud yun."
As she is keen on inspiring, teaching, and helping aspiring voice artists, what are the priceless rewards that they can have as they enter the industry. Ms. Yvette gave two perspectives both from the rewards of a voice artist and a director, "Magkaiba kasi ang rewards ng voice artist sa direktor. Syempre pag ikaw yung nagboses, nakakatuwa pag narinig mo na boses mo...kunwari sa telephone prompt o kaya sa TV sa mga palabas. Kapag direktor naman, masaya na nakikita ko gumagaling yun mga voice artist, maganda yun resulta ng pinagpaguran ninyo, tumataas ratings ng palabas, ganun. Magkaiba kasi talaga rewards nila, pero parehas may joy and satisfaction pag ang ganda lahat ng ginawa ninyo."

Are there any expectations and message that Ms. Yvette wants to impart for every aspiring voice artist especially those that want to succeed in the industry? These are her reminders, "Well kagaya ng sinasabi ko sa workshop, voice acting is an art so gaya ng pangalan ng kumpanya, CreatiVoices, kailangan talaga dito ng creativity sa boses. So hindi lang siya...kasi yung iba, akala nila, papasok ka ng dubbing showbiz ganyan, hindi ganun. Although medyo mashowbiz din dito, kahit saan naman yatang trabaho, ganun. Pero, hindi ito parang akala nila ganun ka-glamorous or “uy astig voice actor” ganyan. Kailangan ng tiyaga, patience, commitment lalo syempre yun pakikinig sa direktor. Di kasi pwede kung ano gusto mo, yun agad gagawin mo sa booth. Dapat magaling magpick-up ng instruction saka di ka sensitive sa feedback ng direktor. Mahirap pero kapag gusto mo naman ginagawa mo, gagaling at matututo ka pa."
Truly, her experience and words are inspiring for every dreamer who was once like her that just got interested to the world of voice acting industry. Ms. Yvette Resurreccion is the testament that with patience, dedication, passion, and respect, a dreamer can become a veteran expert with amazing accolades in the industry.
