From Human to AI Voice: The VoiceMaster Champions the Future of Business and Marketing

In an inspiring episode of the Meet My Friend series hosted by Mami Negosyo, the spotlight turned to how businesses can harness the power of voice and AI technology to drive growth. The special guest? None other than Pocholo De Leon Gonzales, also known as The VoiceMaster of the Philippines—a pioneer of voice artistry, youth empowerment, and AI voice innovation in the country.

Through candid storytelling and deep insights, Gonzales painted a future where voice and technology converge to create powerful, personal, and scalable marketing strategies for entrepreneurs.

“Your voice is your superpower. Use it to build businesses, not just brands.”

Gonzales began by sharing his early journey—from a shy 16-year-old imitating radio dramas to becoming one of the most influential voices in Philippine media and education.

He emphasized that accepting and loving one's own voice is the first step toward authentic communication:

Kung hindi mo tatanggapin ang boses mo, paano ka tatanggapin ng iba?

This foundational lesson set the tone for how entrepreneurs can begin confidently promoting their products and services without fear.

The Role of AI in Business Growth

The VoiceMaster shared his firsthand experience as a pioneer in AI voice technology, collaborating with companies like ElevenLabs and establishing Creative Voices Labs. He explained that AI voices are no longer robotic—they now carry human warmth, emotion, and nuance.

Gonzales encouraged entrepreneurs to embrace AI tools, stressing that:

Artificial Intelligence is not here to replace you. It's here to empower you.

 

For businesses with limited budgets or resources, AI voice tools can be a game-changer—providing professional-quality marketing content, advertisements, and customer service experiences without hiring expensive talent.

Bringing Voice to the Voiceless: A Legacy Project

In a heartwarming moment, Gonzales announced one of his advocacies: developing AI voice solutions for the speech-impaired and deaf community. By donating his own voice, he aims to help those who have lost their ability to speak find their "voice" again through technology.

Someone out there needs to hear your voice—even if it's through AI.

This project not only showcases innovation but a deep commitment to social impact.

Practical Tips for Entrepreneurs: Serve, Don’t Sell

Throughout the session, The VoiceMaster kept reminding viewers:

1. Practice self-acceptance — love your natural voice.

2. Use storytelling to connect authentically with your market.

3. Leverage AI tools smartly to enhance but not erase the human touch.

4. Stay adaptable and open-minded, especially as technology rapidly evolves.

5. Focus on serving, not just selling, to create meaningful customer relationships.

 

Mag-adapt ka, pero huwag mong kalimutan ang puso mo.
