Great questions, Miguel. Are you seeing a change in work in Portugal?

I think that our having home studios has begun to be widely expected. There are still times when going into a studio is necessary, depending on the vo you do and what your studio has, but being at home saves $$ all the way around.

Mandy,

What happens in Portugal is that we are used to whach most of the tv with original soundtrack, this was good for my, because it helped me a lot to learn english and so i could speak to the world.
But is also a problem, because this way we don't have many jobs for dubbing as many countries do, most of European countries dubb everything.
I live in Aveiro, it's called the portuguese Venice, beautiful by the sea...i must stop now...otherwise you won't read more.
The thing is, if this will happen in the future, studios hiring talents directly, we'll have more chances, because some people are far from friendships with the studios that do that in Portugal and talent could be hired for they're talent...you know what i mean?

Around 250 million people speak Portuguese around the world...sometime studios and agencies forget that Portuguese is one of the most spoken languages in the globe. My language is in all continents.
This place is also a god place to spread the word.

Muito Obrigado for your time Mandy.

Yours,

Miguel Martins

The only "absolute" in this business is that there are no absolutes.
