Who is Goku?
Son Goku from Dragon Ball is arguably the most iconic anime character ever created. With a franchise spanning nearly 40 years, multiple series, and countless video games, Goku's voice is recognized globally. Fans search for Goku voice changers to roleplay in Dragon Ball FighterZ, Sparking! Zero, and Xenoverse 2, or to create parody content and fan dubs.
What does Goku sound like?
Goku's voice is uniquely challenging — he's voiced by a woman (Masako Nozawa) in Japanese, giving him a higher-pitched, pure-hearted quality even as an adult. The English dub voice (Sean Schemmel) is more traditionally masculine but retains the childlike enthusiasm. Both versions share extreme dynamic range, from casual conversation to sustained screaming during transformations.
How to get the Goku voice in Echo
With RVC (AI model)
- 01 Find a Goku .pth model (links below)
- 02 Open Echo → switch to RVC Voices tab
- 03 Drag and drop the .pth file to import
- 04 Adjust pitch offset if needed
- 05 Start talking — real-time AI conversion
With DSP (built-in preset)
For a rough approximation, try the Anime Girl preset dialed down to +2 semitones (less extreme than default). The bright EQ and slight pitch-up captures some of Goku's youthful energy, but only RVC can replicate the actual voice.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sound like Goku?
Import a Goku RVC model into Echo. Models are available for both the Japanese voice (Masako Nozawa) and English dub (Sean Schemmel). The AI handles the full vocal transformation in real-time.
Why is Goku voiced by a woman?
In the original Japanese, Masako Nozawa has voiced Goku since 1986 — starting when he was a child. This is common in anime for young male characters. She continued voicing adult Goku to maintain character consistency.
