DIALOGUE TRANSLATION & ADAPTATION FOR DUBBING AND VOICE-OVER
Need your media content translated or adapted for an Italian audience? Whether you are a dubbing studio or a streaming platform, I am here to help. I specialize in translating and adapting feature films, TV series, shows, and documentaries from English and Spanish into Italian.
My goal is to recreate the exact emotional and cultural impact of the original work for Italian audiences. I ensure seamless alignment between text and visual elements, carefully balancing verbal nuances (register, accent, dialects) with non-verbal timing (lip sync, kinesic sync, and isochrony).
EXPERIENCE
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistic Mediation from Macerata University (Italy), my final dissertation was about Afro-American English and its representation through the media. I then specialised in audiovisual translation and media accessibility through a Master’s Degree in Seville (Spain).
I then did several internships at subtitling agencies of various European countries, amongst these I completed my last traineeship at the audiovisual unit of the European Parliament in Luxembourg.
Later, I spent a year collaborating with a dubbing studio in Rome, providing dubbing assistance, post-production script transcription, and dialogue translation.

QUESTIONS (FAQ)
How much does dialogue translation and adaptation cost?
Rates depend on several factors, including video duration, audio clarity, speech pace, technical vocabulary, and whether multiple languages are involved.
Get in touch and tell me about your project! Let me know your specific requirements, and I’ll prepare a customized quote for you.What are the turnaround times?
Turnaround time depends on project specifics, such as length, technical complexity, linguistic varieties, and multilingual content. For instance, creative dialogue adaptation naturally requires more time than straightforward technical texts.
Drop me a line with details about your media content, and we can discuss and schedule a timeline that fits your workflow.Why do you focus exclusively on specific sectors?
While all translators share a common foundation, true mastery comes from specializing in specific fields. Deepening expertise in a dedicated domain ensures top-tier quality.
I specialize in creative and media-focused translation, which is why I don’t handle certified or legal translations. To put it into perspective, you wouldn’t ask a dermatologist to perform an eye exam! Focusing on what I am truly passionate about gives my work a distinct edge in quality and nuance.Why do you only translate into your native language?
No matter how fluent someone becomes in a second language, nothing matches the instinct, rhythm, and natural resonance of a native speaker.
Professional translators work into their native language to ensure the highest standard of writing, creativity, and flow. On the rare occasions where a translation into a foreign language is required, I collaborate with native proofreaders to guarantee flawless quality and tone.
