In celebration of Voice Acting Day and the 42nd birthday of Pocholo The VoiceMaster Gonzales, Summer VoicesCON 2021 was virtually conducted on May 7, 2021, with the theme “The New Generation of Online Voice Artistry, Seizing Opportunities and Creating History."



People from every corner of the world attended the event as it was held online for free as a gift to everyone from the birthday celebrant. According to the Program Manager of VoicesCon, Carren Deguilla, it is a prelude to the upcoming VoicesCON 2021 where international speakers are invited to share their insights and give inspirational talks on October 25, 2021.


Hosted by Pau Castillo and Bryan Perez, the half-day online voice convention featured speakers who were Pocholo’s past students from the Certified Voice Artist Program (CVAP).

Kathleen shared her journey to being one of the top voice artists in the Philippines. “It all starts with a decision, it’s the moment you decide that you will become a voice-over artist is where the journey starts and the magic happens.”


Dannes “Kuyapas” Serrano came next with his highly engaging motivational talk about the “special sauce” in life. “That special sauce is the story and not just any story, it should be your own story.” According to him, it has 3 basic rules to be achieved:  accept that stories are powerful and accept your current story, build on that story and change, and lastly is create your changed story.


Next on the lineup was a surprise guest, Jessie Cruzat, also known as Papa Daks. He shared his gratefulness for all the things he learned from the VoiceMaster as one of the new breeds of online voice artists. He also shared a bit of his journey as the industry shifted from online platforms.

Next to share her insights is Jazmine Estorninos, also called Jaz my Voice, another graduate of Pocholo who is now a professional host and a print/digital ad model. She talked about how one can use his voice as an influencer like her. “It’s really important to stay true to your voice and to use your power, use your influence to create positive social change aside from helping your brands achieve their goals.”

He also did a soft-launching of his book, the Voice Acting 101, and announced that everyone who attended will be given a free online copy of the book. “We create a culture of sharing, giving, loving and caring, and with CVAP hindi ka nag-iisa at hindi ka maiiwan.”
