COMMENTARY: AI Isn’t Killing Voice Acting — But Complacency Will
In a recent article, we were told that the soul of a voice talent cannot be replaced… that AI is a threat only if you let it… and that staying human is your biggest edge.
I agree — partly.
But as the one who trained thousands of Filipino voice artists, created the first Filipino AI voices, and partnered with the top global AI voice platforms, I have to say what others won’t:
AI isn’t just knocking on your door. It already built a new house next door — with your old clients inside.
🤝 YES, MAY PUNTO NAMAN.
Totoo naman ang ilan sa mga sinabi:
✅ AI still can’t beat live, emotional, human nuance — lalo na sa animation, commercials, or dramatic dubbing.
✅ AI is taking over basic, repetitive work — IVRs, e-learning, simple explainers.
✅ We do need to upskill and remain human-centered creators.
But here’s where it gets uncomfortable…
⚠️ THE HYPOCRISY? LET’S ADDRESS IT.
“AI can’t replace humans.”
Tell that to the thousands of jobs now voiced by clean, scalable AI instead of late, overbooked freelancers.
The truth? Clients didn’t choose AI because it's perfect. They chose it because you stopped being effective.
“Only low-ball clients use AI.”
Not anymore. Multinationals, agencies, and production houses are now building AI-first workflows.
Why? Efficiency. Consistency. Control.
Hindi na to tungkol sa “cheap.” Ito ay tungkol sa “smart.”
“Our humanity is our advantage.”
Yes — kung alam mo pa rin paano ito gamitin.
Many voice talents cling to this idea while ignoring the fact that their output sounds the same in every take, lacks innovation, and is technically outdated.
AI now offers multilingual, emotionally expressive voices — and it’s improving monthly.
🎞️ GOOGLE VEO 3 JUST CHANGED THE GAME.
Let’s not forget — just this month, Google Veo 3 was released.
It creates cinematic-level videos from text prompts.
Combined with ElevenLabs AI Voices and Suno AI music?
Patay na ang old-school production pipeline.

✔️ No actor
So if you're a voice talent, musician, filmmaker, or advertiser na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin AI-literate?
You're not just behind.
You're in danger.
🚀 THE SOLUTION? EDUCATION, NOT EXCUSES.
While others complain, kami sa CreatiVoices ay gumagawa ng solusyon.
We launched two game-changing programs:
🎓 Certified Voice Artist Program (CVAP)
To help voice talents find their voice, build their brand, and own their craft.
🧠 Certified AI Creators Program
The first of its kind in the country — teaching Filipinos how to use AI ethically, creatively, and profitably across voice, video, branding, and content.
💡 REALITY CHECK FROM THE AI VOICEMASTER
🎯 AI didn’t kill your job.
Irrelevance did.
🎯 AI won’t replace great artists.
But artists who use AI will replace those who don’t.
🎯 You don’t need to fear AI.
You need to fear being unteachable.
📣 FINAL MESSAGE
To every Filipino voice talent reading this:
This isn’t a time to defend the past.
This is a time to design the future.
If you're still waiting for studios to call you, or for old systems to come back,
you’re waiting for a world that no longer exists.
You can resist and fade… or you can adapt and lead.
Ako si Pocholo Gonzales — The VoiceMaster — and I’m inviting you to evolve with us.
