Italian & Portuguese Language Expert & Voice Talent | Translation

Italian & Brazilian Portuguese Language Professional – Precision, Authenticity, and Cross-Cultural Expertise. Welcome to my profile! I am a native Italian language professional originally from Tuscany—the historical cradle of the Italian language—currently residing in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. With a unique combination of experience as a language lecturer, published author, and digital content creator, I provide high-quality linguistic, translation, and audio services. I am fully bilingual, offering native Italian combined with fluent Brazilian Portuguese and a professional command of English. This multicultural background allows me to deliver exceptional results across several key areas: 🔹 Audio Transcription & AI Data Annotation: Specialized in high-volume, complex projects for both Italian and Brazilian Portuguese markets. I possess sharp listening skills and extreme attention to detail required for highly accurate verbatim transcriptions. I easily capture real conversational speech, regional dialects, filler words, repetitions, and overlapping dialogues, consistently meeting 98%+ accuracy benchmarks. 🔹 Voice Acting & Audio Recording: I provide professional voice-overs for audiobooks, language courses, digital content, and creative projects. Operating from an acoustically controlled environment, I deliver clean, production-ready WAV files with precise vocal pacing and tone. 🔹 Translation & Localization: I specialize in translating and localizing content between English, Portuguese, and Italian. I ensure that the final output is not only grammatically flawless but also culturally accurate, natural, and engaging for the target audience. 🔹 Subtitling & Text Alignment: High-precision subtitling for multimedia content, maintaining flawless timing, proper formatting, and synchronization. Why Choose to Work With Me? Academic & Literary Background: As an Italian instructor and writer, I have a rigorous and professional approach to text, voice quality, and linguistic structures. Bilingual & Cultural Flexibility: Living and working in Brazil allows me to understand the deep cultural and linguistic nuances of both the Italian and South American markets, making me comfortable collaborating across different time zones. Reliability & Ethics: I strictly follow project guidelines, respect NDA agreements, and consistently meet deadlines with a structured workflow. I am available for both short-term milestones and ongoing, long-term contracts. Feel free to contact me to discuss how I can bring value to your project!
