Ladies and gentlemen, I have some sad news... Yet again...

The Latin American and international dubbing industry and lots of childhoods in Latin America are in mourning, as it is with a heavy heart, extreme sadness and deep sorrow that we announce to you that beloved Mexican voice actress Gloria Rocha has died today.

Gloria Rocha Contreras, often known as "La Madrina" ("The Godmother"), was a highly influential Mexican voice actress and dubbing director.

She was a pioneer in the Mexican dubbing industry, starting in the 1950s, and directing until her retirement around 2012, earning her the nickname "La Madrina" for her work on the "Dragon Ball" franchise.

She was born on January 14th, 1932, somewhere in Mexico.

She began in radio dramas at the iconic Mexican radio station XEW-AM, before she moved into the dubbing industry in the late 1950s or early 1960s.

She began her dubbing career at the now-defunct dubbing studio Rivatón de América, then started working at the now-defunct Cinematográfica Interamericana, S.A. (CINSA), where she remained until the company's closure in 1983. She then spent some time at Televisa's now-defunct dubbing studio Telespeciales, S.A., and later worked at the now-defunct dubbing studios Producciones Salgado and Intertrack. After the closure of both companies, she worked exclusively as a director for the dubbing studio Auditel until her retirement in 2012.

She was known for being the Latin American Spanish voice of Miss Piggy in "The Muppet Show", "The Muppet Movie" (CINSA dub), and "The Muppets Take Manhattan"; Tweety Bird in the 1942 "Looney Tunes" short "A Tale of Two Kitties", Velma Dinkley in "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" (some episodes) and "The Scooby-Doo Show" (seasons 1 and 2); Olive Oyl in "Popeye the Sailor" (CINSA dub of the Famous Studios era) and "The All New Popeye Hour"; the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull in "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" (1983) and "She-Ra: Princess of Power"; Melody in "Josie and the Pussycats", Ann Marie in "That Girl", Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in "M*A*S*H", Aunt Harriet in "Batman" (1966), and many other characters.

According to voice actor Javier Rivero, she is known as "La Madrina" ("The Godmother") because when several voice actors—especially beginners—came to see her, she would take on those she considered to have great potential as her apprentices.

Her most recognized work as a director was the Latin American Spanish dub of the "Dragon Ball" franchise from 1994 to 2000, where she chose the voice for each of the characters. Among other works, she also directed the Latin American Spanish dubs of "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Sailor Moon", "Slam Dunk", and "Digimon Adventure", as well as some western productions like "The Muppet Show" and "30 Rock."

Her last work as both director and voice actor was on the 2012 film "The Iron Lady."

Gloria Rocha's brother Abel Rocha, her nephew-in-law Ricardo Rocha, and her goddaughters Patricia Acevedo and Anabel Méndez are also voice actors.

Sadly, Gloria Rocha passed away today, January 14th, 2026, on her 94th birthday.

Ukraineball Studios, the KatSat Media Group, the Aashritha2010TOUGHENED Corporation, and the AashuToughened Group, send their condolences to his family, friends, and fans everywhere.

Gloria Rocha, thank you very much for being part of many childhoods in the Spanish-speaking world! Although you're no longer between us, your legacy will continue forever!

We will miss you so much, Madrina! And now, fly high! Fly very high!

Rest in Peace
