About Yeni
Yeni Alvarez is a leading voice in today’s growing Latin Market.

Thanks to the diversity in many new shows and even entire networks targeted at and focusing on diversity, there are more opportunities for cross-cultural talent than ever before. This trend in the entertainment industry is creating more demand for diverse voices in animated shows, eLearning, corporate narration, and specifically commercials, which have long been fields traditionally dominated by neutral American English accents only.
“Stereotypes are always a component in jokes about accents, but now the big seller is authenticity when it comes to today’s audience.”
Yeni Alvarez has voiced hundreds of projects from Spanish television and radio commercials, to elearning, to ADR to and video games and animation. Yeni can be heard on Oscar nominated film “Happy Feet,” and on various TV shows like Disney’s “Handy Manny,” Warner Brothers’ “Static Shock,” and Nickelodeon’s “Glenn Martin DDS,” and “Get Blake!” as well as all Disney Theme Parks like Walt Disney World, California Adventure, and Disneyland.
