About Rosi and Brian Amador:
Rosi and Brian Amador are the founders and directors of Amador Bilingual Voiceovers and of the touring Latin music ensemble Sol y Canto.
After more than 25 years performing full-time as touring musicians, Rosi and Brian shifted their professional focus toward voice overs to spend more time with their teenage daughters. Using their experience as bilingual/bicultural entertainers, they created Amador Bilingual Voiceovers, with a mission to be the foremost provider of Spanish and English voice over content that educates, entertains, empowers, inspires, promotes connection and understanding, and enriches lives.
They’ve been the voices for countless children’s audiobooks, PSAs, podcasts, commercials and educational projects, and they’ve also brought their completely bilingual daughters, Sonia and Alisa, into the family business. Rosi and Brian’s life work has always reflected their commitment to advance social change, using their voices to build cross-cultural bridges, and to promote human rights, education, environmental and public health awareness.
Of Argentine and Puerto Rican heritage, Rosi was raised in Puerto Rico by performer parents, who instilled in her their love of music and the spoken word from a very young age. Her voice over career has included projects for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Comcast, and Scholastic, among many others clients, and she is one of the voices of WGBH TV in Boston. She is also a voice over coach for a recognized NYC-based voice over education and production studio.
