Spanish to English dubbing that takes your content global
English dubs for Spanish-language films, series and video, with native casting in US or British English and lip-sync adaptation that keeps the original's fire.
Spanish to English dubbing replaces Spanish voices with English performances synchronised to the picture, the step that opens Spanish-language content to the world's largest streaming audiences. Orion Translations produces English dubs with native casting in US or British English, from lip-sync adaptation through recording to final mix, from Barcelona since 2009.
Spanish content is having its global decade
Spanish-language series and films have become reliable global hits, and the pattern behind the breakouts is consistent: an English dub sits alongside the original, because the mainstream English-speaking audience, the largest content market on earth, watches dubbed. Subtitle-only releases leave that audience largely untapped.
Dubbing Spanish into English is its own craft: the intensity, pace and humour of Spanish-language storytelling must survive actors speaking measured English inside the original mouths. Our adapters and English casts are chosen for exactly that, keeping the fire while matching the lips.

Films, series and formats
Features and shorts run through our film dubbing chain; series carry locked casts and episode cadence via series dubbing; documentaries often suit the lighter voice-over treatment from our voice-over service. Every project starts from the same question: which English, for which buyer, at which spec.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Spanish to English dubbing replaces the Spanish voices of a film, series or video with English performances synchronised to the picture, opening Spanish-language content to the largest streaming and broadcast audiences in the world. It covers lip-sync adaptation of the script, native English casting, directed recording and final mix.
- Both have their place: festivals and cinephile audiences accept subtitles, but mainstream English-speaking streaming viewers measurably prefer dubs, and platforms commission English dubs for exactly that reason. An English dub multiplies the addressable audience of a Spanish original; subtitles alone cap it. We quote both so the decision is data, not ideology.
- Per minute of content, scaled by speaking cast size and sync precision. A dialogue-heavy drama costs more per minute than a documentary in voice-over style. Producers typically weigh the dub cost against the distribution territories it unlocks. Send a screener for a fixed quote within one business day.
- Yes. The accent decision follows your target market and the content itself: US English for the broadest streaming reach, British English where the setting or buyer demands it. Casting samples let you hear the options before committing, and neutral international English is available for corporate content.
- That is the craft. Spanish-language storytelling carries registers, telenovela intensity, Iberian dry humour, regional slang, that flatten easily in English. Our adapters translate effect rather than words, keeping the heat of an argument or the timing of a joke inside lip-sync constraints, and flag choices for your approval where the original is culturally specific.
- Yes: voice casts are contracted per season with continuity protected, the same English voice per character across the run, catchphrases locked in a series bible, and understudies identified from day one. Episode-cadence delivery keeps pace with platform schedules.
- Yes, they are our two specialist directions. This page covers Spanish originals going into English; for English content entering Spanish-speaking markets, including the Castilian versus Latin American variant decision, see our English-Spanish dubbing service.
