The VoiceMaster Pocholo Gonzales, with his successful two decades of experience and authority in the world of voice acting, announced his retirement as a dubber. He declared this decision first to his students last December 14, 2019, in the graduation of the final batch of VoiceWorx.
The VoiceMaster proudly announced his retirement while extending his gratitude to the only and first mentor who trusted him in dubbing, Danny "Ama" Mandia. He recalled how it was difficult to get a project as most directors do not give chance to aspiring voice artists but only to their friends or relatives. It was through Mandia that the VoiceMaster began his extensive career in dubbing.
The VoiceMaster looks up to the Philippine national hero, Jose Rizal, who has loved his country more than anything else and fought for its independence from the Spaniards colonizers. Similar to the national hero, the VoiceMaster has a wholehearted commitment to his craft and continues to excel in his chosen fields.
He never stops in reinventing and disrupting his self and his personal goals. Some of the highlights of his career are the following:
As the VoiceMaster truly embodies his vision, it is not surprising to see several accolades and accomplishments under his name. Rising above challenges, winning over failures, and supporting dreamers' starting careers became guiding actions in his journey. These are the secrets to his continuous success in the world of dubbing, voice acting, entrepreneurship, and motivational speaking.
