The Daily Life of a Spanish Voice Over Artist
- How would you describe your daily life as a Spanish voice over artist?
The life of a Voice-Over artist is hugely varied. And that variety comes with the specific project that you’re working on at a given time.
A lot of the time it’s all about preparation. Many hours of preparation, of talking to the client, and working on the material.
And then, depending on the project, it can mean many hours in the voice-over recording booth. But it depends on the project. So every week is different.
- What has been your most exciting Spanish Localisation Project so far?
The most interesting project I’ve worked on recently was voicing a robot. The Da Vinci robot, which performs surgical operations. So I felt a lot of responsibility over that project.
– What do you love the most about your job as a voice over artist?
The thing I love about my VO job is the variety. With that variety comes a lot of learning opportunities because I’m learning about things I would have never imagined.
From the workings of an operating theatre to stories and novels; children’s tales that use wonderful language.
So it gives me access to a sort of window to very different worlds and realities. So I love that.
Spanish Voice-Over Tips
- What Voice Over tips would you give a client in order for a Voice Over session to run smoothly?
My advice or request when working with me or any Voice Over artist would be for there to be good communication.
The more information there is, the more we know and understand about the message being conveyed and how it should be conveyed, then we can prepare much better for the job and really provide what’s wanted from that voice.
