Encountering the VoiceMaster

There is always some ample amount of wonder involved whenever there is an attempt to know someone behind a voice that is capable of stunning and even mesmerizing people. Voice, being suggestive and imagination-provoking as we have always known, is a source of marvel, enough to make us think, assume, and imagine what the real man behind it is like even if we are already seeing some visuals that go with it (say, in animes, instead of seeing the real men behind the voices, we see animations).

So, knowing the Voicemaster and facing him, indeed, are such thrills. At first, these were also like challenges for apart from the nature of his profession, it is also always a dare to face people with big names in their respective fields of expertise.

But what if assumptions do not meet the reality? What if, a star happens to be not as intimidating as you expect him to be? What if a veteran in his field happens to be someone who is as cool, approachable and spontaneous, just as our friends with whom we talk comfortably?

Because the thing is, the Voicemaster is actually like that. In spite of his long list of credentials and really loads of achievements, he remains to be a very cool person.

“I hate formalities,” he usually tells people most especially the ones he meets for the first time. So, even though he shakes hands a lot with people he encounters, he makes sure not to make people feel the awkwardness that usually comes from too much formality.

This quality of him usually shocks people, most especially youngsters who meet him for the first time. Like what I mentioned earlier, facing someone who is so up there, most especially from the perspective of a young and inexperienced individual, can really be a source of serious thrill. So, when he tries to talk to someone in a not at all intimidating manner, the person might really get shocked—and I guess, amazed.

Another part of his coolness and spontaneity as a person is his habit of asking questions. Actually, he loves doing so. Spontaneously, he throws and throws questions to the people he talks to. According to him, it is one way of knowing a person. In fact, this also makes him someone like a psychologist—he goes deep into you and knows your mind before you know it.

And not just that, in terms of his art of asking questions, he jumps from the basics to the more clever ones; all that with spontaneity. So at first, he may start with asking about basic information about a particular person and with no warning, just throws the question “What do you love to do?”—a question that is definitely capable of making someone think, really.

And of course, the Voicemaster is talkative by nature. That’s a fact. But don’t get him wrong. He is the type of a talkative person from whom one can really learn a lot, seriously. When you talk to him, you better be ready with a pen and a sheet of paper or just bring a notebook with you for you might want to make a list of some quotable quotes from him which are always delivered spontaneously.

Also, the analogies he uses to illustrate his points clearly are also amazing. For example, in a conversation about passions, he said, “Doing something you do not love doing is like marrying someone you do not love.” Well, good parallelism, right?
