Available to hire
Hi, I’m Rico Chu, a bilingual translator, editor and freelance voice over artist based in Hong Kong. I specialize in English-Cantonese-Mandarin localization, subtitling, and script adaptation for media, healthcare and consumer technology projects. I run a dedicated home studio and work with end clients ranging from museums to pharmaceutical companies.
With over 16 years of experience, I deliver clear, accurate translations, precise time-coded subtitles, and engaging voice performances in Cantonese and English. I thrive on fast turnarounds and cross-cultural QA, and I enjoy helping brands tell their stories across languages.
