I’ve spent more than a decade training and working as a performer, which means I rarely look at a script as just words on a page. I’m listening for who’s speaking, who they’re speaking to, what they want, and what’s hiding between the lines.

That curiosity is what drew me to voiceover. I love the tiny choices that can completely change a read: a pause, a smile you can hear without seeing, an unexpected emphasis, or the difference between saying something and actually meaning it.

My work spans commercials, corporate narration, explainers, e-learning, documentaries, IVR, animation and character work. Different formats, different audiences, different voices, but the goal is always the same:

I was born in Spain and raised between England and the United States, so moving between languages, accents and cultures has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

That upbringing gave me an unusually sensitive ear for rhythm, phrasing and intention, and for those moments when a translation may technically be correct but simply doesn’t sound like something a real person would say. I work in English, Neutral Spanish and Castilian Spanish, helping brands communicate naturally across audiences and markets.

Somewhere along the way, I also added an MBA from IE Business School to my acting degree. One taught me to understand the character; the other, the business behind the message.

When I’m not recording, I’m usually traveling, skiing, watching a movie, discovering somewhere new, or becoming unnecessarily curious about something I knew absolutely nothing about five minutes earlier.

That curiosity probably explains the career I chose. I like people. I like stories. I like figuring out why something works, why something is funny, and why one sentence sounds completely natural while another somehow doesn’t.

And then there’s Guadalupe 🐶, my studio sidekick, occasional creative supervisor, and firm believer that every recording session should include snacks.
