About Me

Hello! | Bonjour ! | ¡Hola!

I'm Rachel Clayman, a professional audiovisual translator

from the United Kingdom.

I work from French and Spanish into English

and I specialise in subtitling and dubbing.

I grew up in Reading, a town just outside London.

I've lived in Montpellier, France,

and in Santiago de Compostela, Valencia and Barcelona, Spain.

My international experience means that I have an in-depth understanding of the cultures of my source and target languages.

As well as all things languages,

my passions include films, video games and travel.

Having worked both in-house and as a freelancer for dubbing and subtitling agencies, I know audiovisual translation inside out.

I've had the pleasure of working on many exciting projects, including:

Subtitle translations, template files and subtitles for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing for feature films, trailers, documentaries and marketing videos.
Translations of television and film production texts.
Voiceover script translations for documentaries on a wide range of topics including true crime, fashion, the environment, politics and food.
Quality control of subtitles, closed captions and audio description for a top global streaming service.
Adaptations of film scripts for lip-sync dubbing into English.

BA in English and French from the University of Leeds, awarded with First-Class Honours.
MA in Translation Studies from the University of Portsmouth, awarded with Distinction.
Affiliate member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting.
Professional member of Subtle - The Subtitlers’ Association.
