Catering to the increasing need to localize multimedia products and
services into Spanish, the company has a bilingual staff with the
experience and tools to adapt and record in Spanish any corporate,
public or private presentation. Any text or script can be translated and
customize to reach the target audience in the 24 markets that speak
Spanish.
With offices in Miami and studios in Guayaquil, Ecuador, Spanish-Voices
features a brand new website:spanish-voices.com with over 400 samples from
professional voice artists from all over the Spanish speaking world,
including the United States.
Over 450 million people speak Spanish as a native language. According to
United Nations it is the world's second most-spoken language by native
speakers after Mandarin Chinese, and the world's third most-used language in
the Internet after English and Chinese. This is a expanding market and the
need to localize products and service in the language of Cervantes is
growing every year, argues Antonio García, general manager of
Spanish-Voices.
Advertising spending for Spanish media reached $5.59 billion in 2006,
14.4% over 2005, according to a Hispanic think tank. Following Nielsen Media
Research, most global brands increased Spanish ad spending: from Procter &
Gamble’s 5% to AT&T’s 69%.
But it is not only about business, from documentaries to films or
audiobooks, the appetite Spanish speakers have for cultural product goes
hand-in-hand with growing middel classes in Latin America. The Economist
wrote in 2008 that the amount of literature translated into Spanish in a
single year exceeds the entire corpus of what has been translated into
Arabic in 1,000 years.
Spanish-Voices wants to offer a premium service in that localizing
process, therefore the company has invested in the latest audio and video
technology with ProToolsHD mixers, Millenia and Neve preamps as well as
Neumann and SE mikes. Studios are fully padded and soundproofed to get the
best acoustic isolation and warm sound.
Spanish-Voices can not only offer the best pristine sound from our
voices, says Antonio García. Localizing agencies, producers and studios in
the US have now one-stop-shop for translating, voicing and postproducing
their presentations, videos, flash animations or websites.
