The Filipino Speaker at Animahenasyon 2014

The name Pocholo Gonzales has long been synonymous with “voice acting” in the Philippines, which he has proven yet again in the Animahenasyon 2014 conference organized by the Animation Council of the Philippines last November 27, 2014 at the iAcademy School in Makati City. Pocholo spoke to 50 students about voice acting for animation as one of the speakers in their break out session.

During the talk, Pocholo highlighted the Filipino voice artists who showed world-class talents by voicing international video games such as Ghost Squad and the famous Sega game Transformers. He also showcased his own talents by doing the voices of the characters he himself has voiced over the years. More importantly, the VoiceMaster inspired and motivated the students to be “LEAD their dreams” – as he loves to say – and become an inspiration to their fellow youth.
