Marina Valenzuela

I can emulate Colombia, Venezuela and Puerto Rican accent. I can also do VO in English with a Latin accent (strong and/or medium). But, always with an accent. When people listen to me speaking in English, I get a lot of complements. Like "I love your accent - where are you from?" "It's hard to tell". "I love your accent".

Technical Consulting I offer audio consulting specializing in the solution of problems with your digital audio workstation such as Pro Tools, as well as maintenance in conjunction with your Macintosh computer. Furthermore, I offer consulting in the design, purchase, and wiring of the audio equipment for your professional or project studio. Technical and Commercial Translation Services Audio and MI manufacturers such as Audio-Technica, Digidesign, as well as Music and Audio magazines such as Mix Magazine, Guitar Player Magazine, Latin Grammy Magazine, DJ News and on-line NAMM University, utilize my International's 19 year expertise to aid their marketing efforts in the rapidly expanding Spanish-speaking market. One of the biggest problems inherent in translating technical documentation is that it rarely comes across literally - differences in language and nomenclature can cause translated versions of manuals to range from confusing to indecipherable. I circumvents this problem with a staff of bilingual audio professionals, familiar not only with the equipment they are describing, but also with the Spanish spoken every day in Spain and Latin American studios, therefore, eliminating the confusion of literal translation between Spanish and English.
