A SIVA Testimony
Nazirine Estrada Macarambon, a proud participant of SIVA Batch 7, shares a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through her personal voice brand, Voice Guru. Her story isn’t just about learning the technicalities of voice acting—it’s about embracing her unique voice and using it as a tool for mentorship and spiritual guidance, especially for the youth.
Before joining SIVA, Nazirine struggled with a common misconception: she believed her naturally high-pitched voice was a limitation. In trainings, sessions, and deliberations—both in government and non-government settings—she felt pressured to sound “calm” and “steady,” suppressing her natural tone. Even when expressing excitement or joy, such as in anime dubbing, she felt her voice didn’t measure up, defaulting to neutrality.
“I expected SIVA to change my high-pitched voice,” she recalls. “But it turned out to be the opposite. I learned to appreciate it. I didn’t need to change my voice; I just needed to enhance it. Now I have a guide to fit my high pitch into different situations.”
Nazirine’s decision to join SIVA wasn’t merely about technical skills. It was also about fulfilling a childhood dream: to dub anime. Though she hadn’t yet participated in SIVAP, she is motivated by the vision of one day achieving this dream.
She enthusiastically recommends the program to others, emphasizing both its encouraging and empowering nature. SIVA doesn’t just teach technical voice skills—it trains participants to adapt to the voice industry environment and understand the journey of becoming a voice artist. Assignments and practical exercises reinforced her confidence, providing real-world applications of what she learned.
Today, Nazirine applies her skills in mentoring youth through the Zaki app, where she’s affectionately called “Voice Guru” or “Ate Guru.” Her voice has become more than just a sound—it’s a bridge for guidance, encouragement, and spiritual support.
Her testimony ends with a reflective challenge, inspired by her Voice Master: “If you die tomorrow, what will you be doing today?” It’s a reminder that embracing your authentic self, skills, and passions is not just about personal growth—it’s about impact, purpose, and inspiring others along the way.
Nazirine’s journey shows that the voice we often wish to change may already hold the power to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. SIVA, she says, is more than a course—it’s an empowering experience that equips aspiring voice artists to find, embrace, and amplify their unique voice.
