Parents always pressure their kids to study well in school. That is why some students strive hard to get high grades. Grades are the most important thing in our academic world. Yes, grades determine a child’s knowledge on a particular field or subject but grades do not determine a person’s whole being. Grades are just determinants of how well a person did in their subject. It dictates one’s ranking in a classroom. According to Pocholo Gonzales, grades do not really matter in the real world. Grades just help in motivating students to do well in school. What’s important is how smart you can get when you encountered difficulties. The true lessons that can be applied when one graduated is not taught inside the classroom, it is taught as you go along with life. Addition does not help us double our courage to face the problems in life, acceleration does not speed up our life, and chemistry does not really help people be bonded.
Pocholo showed little interest in any of his subjects back then; but he excelled in a lot of extra curricular activities. His interest focused mainly on voice acting. It is his first love. It was during his childhood years that he discovered his talent. Since then, he had nurtured and enhanced his abilities. Knowing the abilities that he has, he never failed to share it to others. He was often invited and requested in a lot of speaking engagements. During college, even though there were lots of other students in his course, BA Speech Communication, he was the favorite because he has the ability to speak in front of the audience without boring them. He has a certain appeal to the audience when he speaks. Having enrolled in a speech major, he outstand his fellow course mates during his time. They may all have the abilities to speak well but none were as good as Pocholo when it comes to voice acting. Everyone may be good speakers, but he is the only one in their batch who knows how to voice act. Passion and talent helped bring him on top of everyone. He is undeniably a unique talent among the others.
He may be involved in a lot of extra curricular activities but he was able to balance it with his academic. He sustained his good grades throughout college. He knows how to balnce his priorities. He was even chosen as the most outstanding youth and student leader by the Office of the Student Assistant. It just proves that he still knows how to handle his responsibilities.
Pocholo can be as talented as he wants it to be, but his passion does not only go for his voice but also to the youth. He was involved in many youth-oriented programs today, and plans to continue it. He believes that he can help the youth change by setting an example. He was a volunteer member of the U.P. Ugnayan ng Pahinungod, founder of the Speech Communication Society and a member of the U.P. Peer Counselors Society in U.P. Diliman and a lot of other organizations that are inclined to the welfare of the youth. If one will observe, almost all his achievements, works, affiliations, and recognitions were rooted from being a youth advocate.
He truly has already soared high. After a lot of hard work, he was now the head of a company that helps promote voice acting to the whole country, Creativoices that is. His company does not only help aspiring voice talents find their paths but also help develop the art of voice acting in the country. Voice acting is a craft that is usually taken for granted by a lot of people. Usually, a lot of people are attracted to visuals and colors. What a lot of people do not know, voice-overs, D.J. mixing, dubs, sound effects and etc. give more life to our televisions, radios and other forms of broadcast media. It gives color to plain dull graphics. The art of voice acting gives reality to the said occasions.
Pocholo Gonzales is now making history in the world of voice acting. A lot were already hiring him to voice act for their commercials, shows and other projects that requires voice acting. His name is almost already connected to the word voice acting. Often, he is the number one choice to guest a show whenever voice acting and pod casting were the featured topic. He had proven so much to everyone that he was already titled as “The Voice Master” and the “Father of Pod Casting.”
