GIANLUCA VALLERO
SPEAKER & DIRECTOR
ITALIAN VOICE ACTOR & VOICE-OVER ARTIST
I have been working professionally as an Italian voice actor and voice-over artist for over 30 years, across film, television, advertising and audio productions.
Born and raised in Northern Italy, I naturally speak Standard Italian without a regional accent. My voice is warm, deep and distinctive – ranging from calm and authentic to dynamic and expressive.
As a dubbing actor, I provide the Italian voice for actors in international film and television productions. I also perform German and other foreign-language roles with an authentic Italian accent, ranging from subtle to strong depending on the character.
My work also includes commercials, documentaries and features, corporate films, e-learning, audio guides, as well as literary and scientific productions. For many years, my voice has been heard across Italy, Germany and other European countries on television, radio and a wide range of media.
Alongside my work behind the microphone, I also work as an editor and director for audio productions, providing linguistic and creative guidance when required.
LANGUAGE ADAPTATION · EDITING · DIRECTION
A good translation needs to do more than convey the right meaning – it also needs to work when spoken.
In audio productions in particular, a literal translation into Italian is often not enough. The natural rhythm, flow and clarity of the language can easily be lost. I therefore edit and adapt Italian scripts to ensure that they are not only accurate, but also natural and effective when spoken.
In addition to language adaptation and editing, I can also provide direction and casting. Over the years, I have supervised numerous audio productions, ranging from educational and multimedia projects to literary productions and corporate films.
My academic background in Italian and German Studies, combined with many years of experience in radio, film and audio production, allows me to bring together linguistic expertise with a professional understanding of voice, performance and direction.
For recordings in Berlin, I work with a network of professional recording studios and can arrange the appropriate studio and production setup when required.
