The form of address

Costa Rica says usted to almost everyone

Get that wrong and the script sounds like it was written somewhere else.

Usted is the default, even with friends

Across most of the Spanish-speaking world usted marks distance or respect, and in Costa Rica it is simply how people address each other, including family and close friends. Vos appears too, and tu is the one that sounds foreign. A script written with tu throughout is the clearest sign it came from Mexico or Spain.

A measured, unhurried delivery

Costa Rican Spanish pronounces its syllables fully and moves at a steady pace, closer to the Andean varieties than to the Caribbean coast nearby. That makes it easy to follow, which is why so much training and public information in the region is produced in this register.

How it works

Producing a Costa Rican voice over

Fix the pronouns, accent the text, set the names, export.

Paso 1

Replace tu with usted throughout

Including in the verbs. This single change does more to make a script sound local than any other edit available.

Paso 2

Run one line through both voices

Both ship with a sample, so the comparison takes seconds.

Paso 3

Restore the accent marks

Esta and está differ, and the engine reads what is written. Place names such as Alajuela, Guanacaste and Limón carry theirs.

Paso 4

Take the file or build the video

Download the MP3 for radio and phone systems, or add visuals and subtitles here and export a 1080p MP4.
