The Microphone Club: Professionalizing Your PASSION #ProPassion

Let me tell you something about how my Public Speaking works, IT SUCKS! hahahaha! Wayback in college, I participated in a public speaking event during the English Week and it was horrible! I felt really really nervous at that time and I don't even have an idea if I spoke grammatically right or even pronounced the words correctly. But I actually had a great experience in speaking in front of a large audience.

I've been wanting to be confident when speaking in front of people and share a lot of stuff (it's actually one of my frustations). Luckily, an organization can help me deal with my frustation, The Michrophone Club.

The Microphone Club is an organization of Filipino professional mic users designed to advocate the highest ideals and practices of the art of speaking behind the microphone. Built under the premise that “the microphone is the EAR of the listener,” our mission is to hone and develop the skills of our members, enabling them to provide world-class talent and customer service to their clients.


Professional mic users are people whose careers rely primarily on the use of the microphone – voice artists, radio/TV/events hosts, broadcasters, DJ’s, preachers, singers,trainers, tour guides, and public speakers, among many others. Whether you use the mic onstage, in the recording booth, behind the podium, on the radio or even backstage with the technical crew, the Microphone Club is your best resource to learn and share opportunities and best practices for your professional growth.

The Microphone Club is founded by Pocholo “The VoiceMaster” Gonzales – veteran voice artist, experienced radio broadcaster, internationally-awarded youth advocate, author, and a highly sought-after voice coach, motivational speaker and trainer. For the past 20 years, Pocholo has been utilizing his voice not only for the purpose of entertaining people, but more importantly for inspiring, motivating and empowering particularly the Filipino youth. Pocholo is the CEO/Managing Director of Creativoices Productions, the leading online voiceover services in the country. With his vision to make the Philippines the center of voiceover excellence in Asia, he established (under Creativoices) the Philippine Center for Voice Acting, which has trained over a thousand professional mic users, many of whom are making their names in the fields of voice acting, broadcasting, hosting, training, and public speaking (http://www.pochologonzales.com)

The Microphone Club is organizing an event entitled “Professionalizing Your PASSION: #ProPassion”. This event aims to connect all professional mic users with their clients through a fun evening of dining, networking and learning.
