Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

My Spanish is neutral without a regional detectable accent. Perfect for any Spanish speaking audience in the US or abroad. My tone of voice is flexible and my delivery is crisp and clear. Have been voted "Editor's Choice" for best voice, clearness, rendition and flawless delivery.

I have provided a wide range of Spanish tones of voice, from teen ager to young adult and middle age. I have also voiced many scripts in English where a Native Spanish accent was required to give the delivery that special Spanish flare.

I take direction well and can be sexy and fun or, professional and relaxed. Have voiced animated characters, professional roles, TV, radio advertisement, telephony, medical, educational, training, serious, sad, fun all the way to relaxation scripts.

My voice is flexible and can adapt to the mood and profile of the project. I can be the friendly next door neighbor to the professional and corporate executive. You name it, I deliver!

CLIENT'S TESTIMONIALS:
I hired Isabella through Voice 123 to track what I thought was a simple Spanish narration, and she wound up reviewing my script in finer detail and improving the entire translation dramatically.  She recorded the narration to fit our needs perfectly, and turned out to be one of the best overall voice artists I've ever worked with.  Her talents and professionalism are assets to any producer or editor.  I am glad to have found her on Voice 123, and greatly look forward to working with her again.

"I have had the opportunity to work with Isa as a voice talent, and have contracted with her agency for voiceover services. She is a joy to work with and her talent is always excellent and on time. Isa also goes above and beyond the call when we need voices for more obscure languages and never fails to deliver." I first contracted Isabella as an Agent and Voice Talent in 2005 and have hired her services more than once. Isa has delivered great results. She is personable and an expert in the field.

Thank you for all the great care and attention to our project Isabella! I just looked at two of the many voiced videos you produced into Spanish and we are delighted with the results. Your work sets a new standard. We have never had such artistry brought to the selection of talent, the synching, editing and direction. The programs feel as if they were originally produced in Spanish. Your creativity, technical expertise and attention to detail are evident throughout. Knowing that you are there to maintain these high standards of production and voice-over give us confidence that our future projects will be of the same superior quality.

Additional Skills

I provide Spanish linguistic services as a voice director and quality control of the project. As an experienced voice talent, I have also worked as a talent director to ensure that the mood, diction, delivery and character are within the requirements of the projects. I also provide cultural awareness designed to ascertain acceptance of the audiovisual by the target audience.

I have directed and produced many audiovisual projects in Spanish where linguistic and cultural knowledge have been necessary to produce a audiovisual which, is sensitive to the culture and the content is grammatically correct.

For voice projects a literal translation does not work because it does not convey the message with a natural speech flow. Literal translations which, have not been edited for adaptation and grammar corrections can end up being expensive and not carrying the idea correctly to your audience. This is where my knowledge and expertise help produce an audiovisual which, targets the audience in an authentic manner, weather the audience is within the US or abroad.

I also provide translation adaptation of Scripts from English to Spanish and cultural awareness consulting services.
