Joining her are Audio-Video Solutions Corporation (AVSC) president Cris Llamo (2nd from right), AVSC chairwoman Linda Sanchez (right), Catalytx Advertising Inc. managing director Richard Yang (2nd from left) and VIVA vice president for integrated sales Pebbles Posadas (left).   Anne proves that even if you aren’t a naturally gifted singer you can still pursue your passion in singing and succeed. All it takes is perseverance, determination and finding the right coach. “To be the best, you need to work with the best coaches. For fitness, I have a gym coach. For movies, I have an acting coach. And for my singing, besides my vocal coach, I also have a secret singing coach that I’ve been training with—the Grand Videoke!” Anne recently signed a contract with Grand Videoke as their celebrity ambassadress. Present during the contract signing were Audio-Video Solutions Corporation (AVSC) president Cris Llamo, AVSC chairwoman Linda Sanchez, Catalytx Advertising Inc. managing director Richard Yang and VIVA vice president for integrated sales Pebbles Posadas. “Our ideal target audience is the aspiring singer and Anne is the perfect ambassadress for Grand Videoke because like most Filipinos, we love to sing and we do it with such passion,” says Cris Llamo, Audio-Video Solutions Corporation (AVSC) President. “There are a lot of videoke devices out there with all sorts of features but Grand Videoke is designed for those who want to learn and improve. Practice builds confidence and Grand Videoke is like having your own singing coach all the time,” Llamo adds. Anne shared that she has been training with the Grand Videoke since 2013 and it has helped her improve and become more confident in her singing. “I will continue to sing because I love it. Thanks to Grand Videoke I feel that I have improved quite a lot throughout the years,” Anne said. The Grand Videoke Symphony SE Pro Plus with built-in Perfect Pitch System feature helps users become better singers by teaching them how to sing on-key and giving them real time feedback via a four-point scoring system. It provides detailed scores on four areas – Key/Rhythm, Vibrato, Upband and Downband, indicating potential areas for improvement. Perfect Pitch is certainly a great tool to help budding singers master each song, as if a singing coach is right beside you. The Grand Videoke Symphony SE Pro Plus is available at more than 500 stores nationwide and through online stores Lazada, and Shopee. You can also visit AVSC’s showroom at 1081 Edsa Balintawak, Quezon City.
