From Occasional Voice-Overs to a Professional Career: The Transformation of Voz ChicoyFor many aspiring talents, the voice-over world feels like a hobby that occasionally pays. You book a gig here and there, but the path to making it a sustainable career remains a mystery. This was the exact position Chicoy Valdez, now professionally known as Voz Chicoy, found himself in before discovering the Certified Voice Artist (CVA) Program. Prior to joining the program, Chicoy had only completed three voice-overs. While he had the talent, he lacked the blueprint. He often wondered: How do I make this a regular job? The CVA program answered that question by shifting his focus from simply "having a voice" to "running a business." It provided the technical and professional foundation necessary to transition from an occasional freelancer to a full-fledged artist. Chicoy’s journey through the program covered the "Big Four" pillars of the voice industry: Technical Setup: He learned the essentials of building his own home studio, a critical step for any artist in the digital age. Performance & Delivery: Beyond just reading scripts, he mastered the art of professional delivery and interpretation. Marketing & Business: The program taught him how to market his brand and navigate the legal aspects of contracts and voice ownership. Vocal Health: Understanding the physical care required to maintain a professional-grade voice over a long career. Starting a new career path naturally comes with high expectations and a fair share of anxiety. Chicoy was vocal about these fears, but he noted that the "CVA Family" acted as his primary support system. He credited the program's effectiveness to the unselfish sharing of knowledge from Mr. Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales and his team of mentors and trainers. For Chicoy, the program didn't just provide information; it provided a community that believed in his potential. Chicoy Valdez concludes his testimonial with a clear endorsement: the CVA program is effective. By the end of the sessions, he didn't just have a certificate; he had the confidence, the equipment knowledge, and the professional "Voz Chicoy" persona ready for the industry. As he steps into his new career, Chicoy stands as proof that with the right guidance, a few occasional gigs can turn into a lifelong vocation.
