Latin American Spanish dubbing

Dubbing in Latin America

Let's face it- it's quite challenging to come across a Latin American Spanish dubbing service that can actually convey the authentic experience with your content. There's no question that most dubbing companies put a lot of efforts to achieve it- customer content is reviewed and proper translators are assigned, translations are proofread, castings are held and most suitable dubbing artists are selected to match the original voices. Recording and post-production take place in an acoustically treated, secure studio environment and delivery in most cases is easy and convenient.

But there's a catch.

The original content has been produced in another country, within a different cultural context and simply translating it is not nearly enough to transcend the artistic intent. In result, the LATAM Spanish, or any foreign language dubbing ends up being just a distant reflection of the original. And shows that are a total hit on one market end up being mediocre on others after dubbing.

To help you craft an authentic experience with your content in Latin American and achieve a native local version, we apply a culture first approach- we create a dub that considers all the local cultural norms and traditions to recreate a culturally relevant, immersive viewer experience. GoPhrazy provides LATAM dubbing services through our network studio for the needs of your TV, films and movies, cartoon, animation, commercial, theatrical, video game or other content.

Here's the deal- it takes just 3 easy steps with us to make the perfect dubbing in Latin American:

Since 1994 we have localized over 10 000 hours of TV programming in foreign languages for providers like Discovery Channel, TLC, HBO, FOX, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel and many more. The list gets bigger when we add dubbing of over 1000 film titles for theatrical and TV distribution, as well as blockbuster games like League of legends, GTA and Civilization.

But that's not all.

We are also a preferred multilingual dubbing house to leading advertising agencies like Ogilvy, Leo Burnett and Saatchi & Saatchi, localizing countless TV commercials for Fortune 500 companies like Coca Cola, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, Samsung, Gillette, Sony, BMW, Danone and more.

History behind Latin American Spanish

Spanish language spoken in America is different from the version spoken in Europe in terms of pronunciation and expression and varies widely from country to country. When the Spanish began to colonize America in the late 15th century they brought their language of Latin descent to the continent. Following generations adopted Spanish language but developed differences due to their native language and the specific regional accent of their Spanish colonists. In result, there is a great number of Latin American Spanish accents today that are spoken by over 450 million people across South America, Central America and the Spanish speaking parts of North America.

Neutral Latin American Spanish

There is no official institution to define or enforce a definition of what Latin American Spanish is. That's why a more "toned down" version of the language with as least country-specific idioms as possible has been used in Latin American broadcast media in order to reach a wider audience. That Spanish accent is considered "Neutral" and is mostly recorded in Mexico as it represents the biggest market in Latin America to target Spanish speakers across the continent. Speaking neutral LATAM Spanish requires a conscious effort as every speaker has a certain country-specific accent. Therefore it is considered as a proficiency that is learned with professional practice over time.
