Manuel A. Santos

TRAINING: I have studied acting as both my high school course (ACE Famalicão) and my Bachelor's Degree (ESMAE). Vocal work was also a very important part of what I learned in both of these periods. Besides this training, I have also completed a short course on dubbing with Cinemagica, one of the two biggest dubbing studios in the north of Portugal. EXPERIENCE: I have 6 years of theater acting experience (I started working professional while still studying in my university). Most notably, I've worked with Teatro Aramá, one of the few self-sufficient theater companies in Portugal, and Seiva Trupe, one of the most renowned. I have done some paid vocal work throughout my career, including acting in and editing an audio short featuring the Adamastor part of the book "Os Lusíadas" for the theatre company Teatro Aramá. I have also done a lot of audio editing and vocal work for various YouTube projects. In the past 2 years, I have recorded over 15 commercials, done many auditions, I became the English voice of youtuber León Picarón, recorded 2 episodes with Cinemágica as Sterling in the portuguese version of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys, and recorded many voiceovers in portuguese for Suspended Box (both ads and regular videos). EQUIPMENT: For editing, I own an HP Pavilion laptop (mid-range) with Audacity and Cubase. For recording, I own an MXL 990 condenser microphone with a Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD audio interface.
