JC Garcia
As a young boy, JC Garcia dreamed of getting to be heard on TV just like the announcers he heard on air.
Getting a degree in Economics, having a long career in the BPO and pursuing many developmental activities, all led him to where he is now.
JC chanced upon Pocholo “The VoiceMaster” Gonzales and Voiceworx twice – once when searching online for a developmental course for his work as a trainer and the second one was through a voiceover project that a client wanted him to do right at the Creativoices Productions studio along Dian Street in Makati.
That connection made him want to bring his craft to the next level so he got trained by the Voicemaster and his team after enrollment in the course and the rest – TV and ads, corporate AVPs, events voice overs and hosting – were history.
Now, he is with Creativoices and in charge of managing talents, helping them expand their horizons in the art of using their God-given gift of making use of their voice to reach a much wider audience.
