2. If you have always wanted to become a voice artist for radio and tv
commercials, or dubber for telenovelas and anime, or improve how
people listen to you speak, then this is the way to go!
we are ready to
train you
Mr. Pocholo Gonzales
Founder/VoiceMaster
Dear Aspiring Voice Artists,
I am Pocholo Gonzales. I’ve got ONE ques-
tion to ask that could changeyour life for-
ever…
Are YOU constantly hearing commercials
that you know YOU could have voiced bet-
ter? Commercials that would sound better
if YOUR voice was used on them?
I’ll bet you hear those commercials every
day — but do nothing but complain.
Too many of us just accept things as they
are because they were done by a profes-
sional voice over person. Stop settling for
something YOU know you can do better!
If that’s the way you feel then you’ll be
very excited to hear about the incredible
opportunity that I would share to you…
I am living proof that the average person
can overcome all the “odds” and become
a successful VOICE OVER artist with the
right training.I was right where you are but
I did something about it and had been a
successful voice over artist for almost fif-
teen years.Ever since radio stations began
running commercials, people have been
complaining about them. They are too
long. There are too many of them.
As long as there are products to voice,
there will be a need for good skilled voice
over artists.
So, where do they come from? Who is
training them? How do they acquire the
skills necessary to get hired for voice over
work?
For almost 10 years, We have produced
more than 1000 voice artists and most of
them are now in Voice Acting Industry. We
love to have you too.
Wishing you all the best,
Mr. Pocholo Gonzales

3. How to Take a
Voice Acting Workshop
1
Find an instructor who has
proper credentials. Avoid
taking voice acting workshops
with instructors who do not fill the
academic bill. Check out an
instructor’s resume. He will probably
have more to offer you as a student
if his experience in the business is
lengthy. Ask for referrals from people
in the entertainment business.
2 Decide on a voice acting
workshop that emphasiz-
es teaching you how to act
with your voice. All too often,
voice acting workshops merely
teach students how to alter their
voices. Remember that the goal
is learning how to act in addition
to a change of voice.
3 Choose a voice acting class
that has a business com-
ponent. After learning how
to act with your voice, you also
want to learn how to acquire jobs
with your new skill.
Register for the course. Pay all as-
sociated fees. Purchase required
reading materials.
4
Attend the workshop Tips &
Warnings Avoid registering
for classes that have more
students than can be given individ-
ual instruction time. Workshops are
meant to develop individual skills.
You need to be on a microphone in
front of the workshop at least twice
each workshop session. Maximum
10 -12 students.
What is Voice-Over?
A voice over is any recording or performance by one
or more unseen voices for the purpose of
communicating a message – James Alburger. Any
message you hear without seeing the performer is
considered to be voice-over. This means voice-over
is all around us!
Is doing Voice-overs hard?
Voice-overs can actually
be done by anyone! And
it’s a very rewarding job in-
deed. A lot of Voice Talents
are being paid to play and
many professional voice-
overs get their kick out of
the industry just by enjoy-
ing what they do. Anybody
can do a voice-over, but not
everybody can do voice
acting.
With more than 16 years of
experience in voice acting,
the VoiceMaster truly has
the voice that can capture
anyone’s attention. No
surprise, he also knows
how to transform simple
productions into something
fresh and really attention-
grabbing ones.
Who do you look up to as a VOICE
OVER TALENT? Why?
It’s definitely going to be
Pocholo “Voice Master” Gonzales. I
attended his VoiceWorx
workshop and saw how versatile he was
in being able to change voices in a snap
of a finger. He was also able to impact
techniques on how I can bring out the
best voice in me.

about finding the kid in you. It requires dedication and passion for doing Voice-over jobs,
and lots of patience to master the skills. True, not everyone can do voice acting, but any-
body can benefit from learning how it works. In fact, many of the students in Creativoices
Clinic don’t pursue voice-over jobs, but need the voice acting skills to further themselves in
How do I benefit from Voice Acting lessons?
If you want to break into the world of voice-
overs, then voice acting is a must for you. By

Productions

business deals fast and efficient.
