With more than 450 million native speakers of Spanish and with 12% of families in the United States speaking the language in their respective homes, it is clear that Spanish deserves its status as a world language. If you are planning to communicate a product, business or idea in Spanish, you need a professional voice-over talent who can speak the language fluently and perform like any complete voice artist. Listed below are some of the ideal qualities to hunt for in a Spanish voice-over talent: 

Native Spanish Speaker

A native speaker of the Spanish language will always have a distinct advantage over someone who has acquired Spanish merely as a second language. Spanish, like any language, has certain phonetic characteristics and qualities which set it apart from other languages, including English. Since the language comes naturally to the native speaker, it lends a brand of authenticity to the recorded message, whether for a radio advertisement, a tutorial, or even a voice mail.

Flawless Pronunciation and Enunciation 

The importance of enunciation, which also entails correct pronunciation, cannot be overemphasized when performing Spanish voice-overs. You need a professional talent who knows the proper and natural articulation of Spanish words and lines, as well as the correct placement of word stress for proper emphasis and variation. This makes any marketing message sound authentic, authoritative, and credible.

Voice Control

When it comes to professional Spanish narration, control is very important. This is one of the voice abilities that set a professional apart from an amateur. Oftentimes, flawless voice control is acquired through years of recording and narration experience. A skilled voice-over talent will display noticeable voice control across a wide range of recording projects.

Neutral Spanish Accent

Different scripts require different voices and personalities. But if your script requires different character voices and you plan to hire just one talent, hiring someone with a neutral Spanish accent is highly advantageous. In fact, according to voice coaches, this accent is one of the most marketable around.  Since it is easier for a neutral accent to adopt a certain tone or voice style, you can benefit from hiring a talent with a neutral Spanish accent.

Voice Acting Abilities

Finally, you need voice artists who can act with their voice! This boils down to how creative your talent can be during the actual recording. Your narrator or storyteller should go beyond being just an excellent reader or speaker. The best voice-over talents in the world are those who have acting abilities to match their first-rate Spanish speaking skills.

With Spanish considered as the third language online and with an increasing number of companies investing in Spanish ads and marketing messages, you need a Spanish voice artist that accomplishes the job. With a natural and exceptional Spanish voice talent, your organization or brand can leave the right impression and make the needed connection with your Spanish-speaking audience.
