Hola, I’m Valentina Olarte. I’m a bilingual actress working and living in LA.

I'm happy to invite you to read a little bit about me:

Bienvenidos a mi mundo! Welcome to my world! 

I grew up in Colombia, lived in Houston for 7 years and now I'm in LA! I got my BFA in Acting from the School of Theatre and Dance at the University of Houston. In addition to my training at the University, I studied Acting for the Camera, Meisner, Monologue/Audition technique, Movement/Stage Combat and Dialects through IPA. In Los Angeles, I studied Improv at UCB and Commercial technique at “Hey, I Saw Your Commercial”. Currently I’m part of one of the few Spanish speaking Improv Groups in Los Angeles called “Impromundeando”. I also started my Voice Over career back in Houston doing radio, puppet shows, enhancing dance performances, etc; and continued it once I moved to Los Angeles. Some of my TV credits for Voice Over (Dubbing) include: Netflix’s The House of Flowers (LA CHIQUIS), Street Food Latin America (Argentina Ep- PATO) and The Cathedral of The Sea (MARIA).

 Early Life: I was born in Medellin, Colombia and grew up in Chia, Colombia (very close to the capital, Bogota). I lived in Colombia until I was 17 years old. I grew up watching street theatre, amazing plays brought for the Festival iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogota and of course movies and TV form all over the world but mainly from the USA. For two years I trained in MISI, a musical theatre academy in Bogota and did every Christmas show at School! I also participated in different models of the United Nations (which to me it was very close to acting!). I also played several sports growing up but mainly Basketball and Tennis (which I still play). I LOVE to dance! I love dancing to ANYTHING but there's nothing that can stop me form at least moving my hips when Hispanic music is playing!
