Composing my new song

I made this blog primarily as one of the requirements for my On-The-Job training class. I now work as an intern at Creativoices Productions and they required me to make a blog where I will put my journal. My journal will feature my experiences in my life as an Intern. So, let's start for this week!

Creativoices Creatia Wallpaper 1366 x 768 pixels

3 days before starting my work at Creativoices, I made a personification of the Creativoices logo. I named her Creatia (for no particular reason) She is my motivator on going at Creativoices for the first time. She always remind me that I have talent and every company has needs for elegant people like me.

Lol! It's not I am boastful, I just don't want to down myself too much. I know I'm not the best but I know I'll never be the worst.

Day 1 - Nov. 24, 2011

This is the day of my interview. I did my best to show that I am a person who works professionally, and has lots of talents to work for them. But what I really need to do is to work properly and gain their trust and I will go a long way. In the end, they accepted me and I am thankful for that specially for my best friend Roemina who helped me.



Day 1.A - Nov. 25, 2011

This is our first day my work. Ate Jela oriented us what to do which is editing sound recorded files and gave me a copy of the software needed to be used. I was glad that I was able to follow and do my task.

The current project of Creativoices is an Audio Book for Rex Publishing. The Audio book are sets of English learning books for elementary students. When the voice talents are finished in their recording, Ate Jela brings the files to us so we could edit it like whe cut the wrong takes of the recording in leave the good ones.

Overall, I was happy because I learned something new and got myself familiar with sound editing.

Day 2 - Nov. 30, 2011

We continue editing the audio book. It was quite tiring because I sat in front of the computer the whole day editing sound files. My eyes tells me to stop because it was tired but my body seems to not follow as I continue finishing my work. I enjoy listening to the voice of Ate Carla (the voice talent) because she has a relaxing voice that made me not mind of my tired eyes because my ears are relaxed. I feel totally brought in a fantasy world (for kids) Lol.

Day 3 - Dec. 1, 2011

Hooray! We finished all the female voices at this day. I'm so excited for the final result of the Audio Book. I feel happy whenever I hear the final draft of Ate Jela, like there is a sound effect before the "link to reading" is mentioned, I feel so fulfilled. Lol I am feeling that all our hard work is slowly forming into a master peice.

Also, Thanks to Ms. Eve, the lady representative of Rex Bookstore for the free lunch and merienda which are not just food, but delicious food!

Day 4 - Dec. 2, 2011

I was not busy on the first half of the day because the talent isn't there to record his part, so I have nothing to edit. I had a very long break which turned into boredom. To be honest, I didn't like what happened.


But It all got better because even the talent came late, he was very skilled that I only had to edit few parts of his recording, that is why even I started late in editing, I was also able to finish on time. But If he was able to attend early, for sure, the book will be completed early too.

Then our boss, the Voice Master gave us a project - to make an AVP for a client. I don't know if he is serious leaving a big part of the work to us but I really appreciate that he showed trust to us. That is why if this is really true, I will really do my best in this project.

Final part is when, I ate Ice cream with Roemina, my best friend. It was short but I enjoyed it. It's like everyday is a reunion. And I act, as if is I were her child, I show her almost everything I got on my laptop and constantly sharing my experiences to her and listening to her experiences as well. She is the best! :D



Overall, my first week was a success. I enjoy my work and being tired is not a reason to be sad about it, because when you work, it is given that you'll be tired. But the choice of being happy is still yours. I don't feel pressured at all, maybe because it's just my first week. They said that it is hard working here but I don't see it happening yet. I know what I do is tiring and difficult, but I don't find myself miserable. Even though I can't paint what our boss is, I know he is the best and he made a happy family in this production. He gives us ways to really learn. I am contented with my work and I hope I will be like this even when my practicum ends.
