Today on What's My Frame I'm joined by Casting Director & Spanish Dialect Consultant, Miranda Martinez. Miranda began her career in Dallas, Texas, working in commercial casting before collaborating with renowned casting director Jo Edna Boldin,CSA on major studio films including The Lone Ranger and The Last Stand. After relocating to Los Angeles in 2012, Miranda expanded her credits as the Los Angeles Casting Director for the independent feature Icaros: A Vision, where she spent three weeks in the Amazon jungle of Iquitos, Peru, working closely with the local cast of native Shipibo-Conibo people to help shape authentic performances.
She has contributed to high-profile projects with acclaimed casting director April Webster, CSA including Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Lisey’s Story, Clarice, Locke & Key, and Sacred Lies. On Jack Ryan, she also served as a Spanish dialect consultant, advising on accent accuracy and subtitle translation during post-production. Fluent in Spanish and raised in Panama, Miranda brings deep linguistic expertise to her work, specializing in Spanish dialect consulting for multilingual productions.
Her background as an actor, having appeared in national commercials and independent films, gives her a performer’s perspective that informs her casting approach. Miranda occasionally teaches actor workshops, most recently at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, where participants had the option to perform in either English or Spanish. She is also committed to supporting emerging filmmakers, regularly serving as Casting Director for short films at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts.
