Too Opinionated Interview: Valentina Latyna

A two-time winner and thirteen-time nominee at the prestigious Society of Voice Arts and Sciences Awards, Valentina is one of the most respected voices in the industry. Her extensive voiceover credits include standout roles in the Spanish versions of “Poker Face,” “The Bold & the Beautiful” (notably dubbing Jacqueline MacInnes Wood’s character, Steffy Forrester, in Spanish), “Tuca & Bertie,” “Bojack Horseman” and earning Best Lead Actress for her performance in the indie short “Defenseless.” 

Beyond the mic, Valentina is the founder of Latyna Studios, a creative hub and home studio for directing and producing voiceover work, particularly during the industry-wide pivot to remote recording in 2020. Her studio has worked on high-profile projects including with Amazon Studios and also directed all the Spanish voice systems for Google AI and GPS from the studio.

Valentina is in her fourth year as the Director of the Spanish Program at the Voiceover Atlanta Conference, the largest voiceover conference in the world. There, she curates content and speakers, builds a platform for emerging bilingual and Spanish-language talent, and advocates for the inclusion of first-, second-, and third-generation Latinx voices with diverse regional accents. She is also a vocal advocate for more inclusive casting in an industry historically dominated by masculine voices.
