| Why Me? |
What makes you the best person for your job? I place great value on attention to detail and am passionate about producing an outstanding product. This also means that I am reliable and highly committed to my projects.
In terms of translations, I work with a high degree of sensitivity to the tone, register, and style of the original document and take great measures to ensure that even the finest aspects of the original language are transferred.
Concerning voice-overs, my long experience acting, commitment to a role, and my adaptable voice, meaning I can reach high and low registers, modulate my voice to sound male, and do a variety of characters, makes me desirable for any project. One of my favorite characters is Gollum from Lord of the Rings.
What is your best project so far? Why? My best translating project so far has been the 'Making Of' a feature film. This project has required extra time-committment, patience, and attention to detail to complete. One of the extra challenges has simply been listening to a track multiple times to ensure that no ideas from the original have been overlooked and that the individual word choices exemplify the original well. This is especially true since natural speech is often less organized than written speech. Furthermore, the language has also been somewhat technical and therefore I have had to ensure the correct expression of special film terms.
What do your students / customers say about you? My translation customers say that I do an excellent job because I care so much about my projects being outstanding. They comment that I am highly motivated, passionate, and exacting about what I do. They know they can count on me to do an exceptional job expressing their ideas to their English-speaking clients and colleagues.
My voice/acting skills have been acclaimed by many, including American T.V. producers, for being extremely engaging and entertaining. |
