Hire Brazilian accent voice actors

Some of the best voice actors with a Brazilian accent include Wagner Moura and Alice Braga. Wagner Moura played Pablo Escobar in Narcos. Although he speaks Portuguese, Moura had to take Spanish lessons to sound more like a strong, assertive native speaker for his Narcos character. Alice Braga played Teresa Mendoza in Queen of the South, using a softer vocal style to draw out her character’s nuances. While her accent is distinctly Brazilian, it’s more understated, adding a quiet strength and allure to her characters. Consider using authentic Brazilian accents in your audio projects to add an exotic vocal quality that entrances audiences.

What is a Brazilian accent in English?

A Brazilian accent in English follows Portuguese’s unique phonetic and rhythmic influences. Its style is more syllable-timed than stress-timed, meaning that each syllable takes up an equal amount of time. The pronunciation of specific English phonemes, like /v/, /w/, /r/, and the ‘th’ sounds, also varies because these sounds are unavailable in Portuguese. The hallmark of a Brazilian accent is its musical intonation pattern, which creates mesmerizing, tuneful speech in English.
