Spanish-Language Dubbing Takes the Stage

The first all-day SAG-AFTRA Spanish-language dubbing seminar on June 8, sponsored by the National Spanish Language Media Committee, was a resounding success. Member attendance and participation was stellar, with the Cagney Boardroom at SAG-AFTRA Plaza in Los Angeles filled to capacity.

The seminar was presented by a group of SAG-AFTRA dubbing stars that included Nathalia Hencker, Victor Mares and Alex Vargas, who generously shared their knowledge and expertise with other members. The discussion explored the evolution of the dubbing process, the particulars of dubbing for animation and the state of the dubbing industry. Members and dubbing actors Angelines Santana and Natasha Perez served as moderators of the event.

Spanish Language Media Committee Chair Hernán de Béky plans to put together more dubbing events in the future to provide the latest tools, techniques and tips to SAG-AFTRA members looking to expand their careers into this growing segment of the industry.
