GUSTO KONG MAGING VOICE TALENT

By Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales

Awarded "Best Book on Professions" — 36th National Book Awards

The first and only Filipino book dedicated to the art and business of voice acting.

In Gusto Kong Maging Voice Talent, Pocholo "The VoiceMaster" Gonzales — the most recognized Filipino voice artist and founder of the Philippine Center for Voice Acting — opens the doors to a world once guarded by a few. Drawing from over two decades of personal experience, struggles, and triumphs, Gonzales delivers a powerful and practical guide to building a career in the voice acting industry.

The book provides readers with a complete roadmap:

🎙️ From learning the proper tools and techniques to master vocal performance...

🎙️ To setting up your own home recording studio...

🎙️ To understanding the realities of the voiceover business in the Philippines and beyond.

But more than just a technical manual, this is also a story of resilience and purpose. Recalling the painful rejections he faced from senior dubbers early in his career — who once told him he had no place in voice acting — Gonzales transformed these challenges into fuel for his mission: to democratize voice acting and give every Filipino dreamer a chance to be heard.

Through his pioneering work at VoiceWorx and the Philippine Center for Voice Acting, he has trained and mentored thousands of voice artists, breaking barriers and building the country’s first true voice acting community. His global recognition includes being the only Asian panelist at the 2012 Voice Over International Creative Experience (VOICE) Convention and receiving honors from the World Voices Organization.

"This book is dedicated to every Filipino who believes that voice acting is an art, not just a means to make money. With the right heartset, the Philippines will rise as Asia’s voiceover capital." — Pocholo Gonzales

Whether you're a curious beginner, an aspiring talent, or even a seasoned voice artist, Gusto Kong Maging Voice Talent is your essential companion to finding your voice — and changing your life.
