Some Relevant Concerns For Female Spanish Voice Over

By Lisa Phillips


Lots of televisions serials are exported from their country of origin, and remade with certain things when broadcast in another nation. Cultural exchanges like these have been happening for a long time, but today this has grown into a very healthy sector for television and production companies the world over. It is very healthy and also quite educational for a lot of people.

TV programs from the United States may be bought to supplement network broadcasting in other countries. They would be in need of female Spanish voice over if and when the destination country is Spain or countries located in Latin America. Most people in these places are not capable of following the English, so translations and overdubs will be needed.

Overdubbing is not that hard to accomplish, all it needs are sound booths that a company probably has. Finding talent, though, will be a little more difficult, since voice overs cannot be done without some good, quality talent. Professionals can act with their voices in these dubs to duplicate the quality, emotions and nuances of any show.

These jobs are done by a lot of experts the world over, but there is always a shortage of foreign language specialists around. And not a lot of these are trained actors, mimics or voice talents. The specialist in this sector might have started out in radio, where good modulation, emotive power, and clarity of delivery is needed.

In radio is where people can learn to project their voice, whether for comedies or dramas, good grounding for work in overdubbing foreign TV shows. There are certain things needed to make the overdub or voice over work. A translated script will be available of course, and considerations for delivery, accents and emotions must pass through a director to translate for locals.

With countries of destination are available many talented persons, and this is precisely how things should work for this part of the business. TV shows that are imported need treatment from the importing company which probably has translators, talents and other vital personnel. The language problem will then be nonexistent since natives are working to do the job quickly.

Other things needed for this kind of work are plenty. For instance, the studio should be large enough to accommodate all speaking characters that have to have voices overdubbed. Readings are preparatory for scene readings so the talents must go face to face here, and recording in isolation may be a bit more difficult but also applicable here.

In any case, television companies are very flexible for this kind of project. Spanish speaking females are right there in Spain, and the trick is to have the translations done by other experts in the trade. But then some good knowledge of, say, English will be very good for those voice talents that have been hired to do the job.

The pay for this kind of work may range from per hour to per project, depending on contractual requirements. The job is well paying because talent does not grow on trees. Shows are therefore made more relevant and appreciable for people, and the specialists in this line are also respected members of the industry.
