I am a Spanish native voice actor and educator with over 25 years of experience in dubbing, localization, ADR, commercial and narrative voiceover, and vocal coaching. I specialize in phonetics applied to Spanish as a foreign language (ELE), synchronization, studio and remote recording workflows, and the development of training materials for voice professionals. I am flexible with quick adaptation to briefs, experienced in institutional and commercial projects, and capable of delivering high-quality auditions and final masters for games, advertising, e-learning and audiovisual media. As a teacher and coach, I design and run intensive courses in vocal technique, public speaking, and professional voice use; I provide 1:1 coaching for voice actors, presenters and customer service teams, and create personalized development plans and evaluations. I work with localization teams to ensure phonetic accuracy and smooth session workflows, while also developing pedagogical materials and practical exercises tailored to professional contexts.
