1.- David, thank you so much for agreeing to an interview with us. Let’s start with you. Born in Los Teques (Miranda – Venezuela), what do you like most about the city where you were born and grew up? What hobbies did you have as a child?
What I liked the most was to climb a mountain that was next to my house and look for quartz stones, the joy of finding a transparent stone that for me was like a diamond made my day.
2.- What brings a smile or joy to David?
I laugh every day at life, I like to be in a good mood all the time, it gives me joy to be next to Sandra (my girlfriend), to see my parents well and to be with my sisters Carolina and Monica.
3.- David, your great passion is in the entertainment industry, you started in the theater in your native Venezuela for some years participating in more than 15 plays hand in hand with the Compañía Nacional de Teatro. How is it that you were born and decided to venture into the artistic world of acting?
I was always very extroverted and I loved acting, so one day I decided to be part of a theater group in Los Teques, where I started my artistic life with the motivation generated by a pianist friend of the family to start playing piano, from there I went to audition at the CNT where we were selected 10 among more than 300 participants to be part of the Actor Training Program of the “Compañía Nacional de Teatro” of Venezuela. There I participated in more than 15 plays, both as an actor and as a pianist.
4.- You start to get involved in the big screen doing also dubbing and musical comps. How is it that these opportunities appear and you take this new challenge? What feeling did you have at that time doing what you like?
Many of my new colleagues at CNT worked in a dubbing company called ETCETERA, for this reason, after I left CNT, I started working in this company as a foley technician, then as a dubbing technician in charge of recording projects like Pinky and the Brain, Sponge Bob Squarepants, etc. and soon after I was assigned to the musicalization department where I was in charge of musicalizing and composing music for several projects, many of them Brazilian soap operas of the moment like Pantanal, Vientre en alquiler, Mi bien Mi Mal, etc.
5.- Is music also part of your life? Why did you decide to embrace it or is it something innate?
Music came to me innately, I remember that I started taking all the themes of Richard Clayderman, a French pianist who was very fashionable at that time, and then I began to study music, eventually I got the opportunity to make all the incidental music for my first novel called Llovizna, starring Scarlet Ortiz.
6.- Going back to dubbing David, your trajectory is impressive. Please mention for our public what works you have done, is that (I will say only 1) Sponge Bob Squarepants is already a big word…
I remember the recordings of Pinky and the Brain, many times female colleagues came into my recording room and we had to stop because the improvisation of the actors killed us with laughter.
7.- So far David, we already have Music (Musicalizer – Producer) – Acting – Dubbing. How did you feel about accomplishing each goal up to this point?
I was very motivated with everything that could come in the future, always looking for what to do again, I’m hyperactive and that helped me a lot to achieve new horizons.
8.- Already with an important experience in different production companies and productions, you also stand out for being an Editor (Audio – Video and more), being part of Globovisión in Venezuela, where I have a great Guest of years (the first of Venezuela), Genesis Rivas and there was also Anelaine Blanco (Ane TV), today in Mexico. What were your functions as Editor, since it is a news channel and also Entertainment, right?
Before joining Globovisión I worked in a production company called Víctor X where I had to learn to edit video by accident, thanks to the fact that the editor on duty left, that circumstance helped me discover the passion for editing, when I arrived at Globovisión I had to do everything, special programs, biographies, press releases, etc, that was a great school for me, surrounded by wonderful people who taught me a lot.
9.- Five years ago you decided to migrate to Mexico given the situation that our sister country Venezuela is going through today and where you started to make your way again, how has Mexico treated you? The Mexican industry is great in terms of productions. What learning on a personal and professional level has it left you to date?
Mexico is a country where you can see series and film projects everywhere, as it is an interesting market for the American and European industry because of the exchange rate and the high level that has full of very high level professionals everywhere, it has not been easy for me to climb in this country, It has not been easy for me to climb in this country, since it was practically starting from ¨0¨, with perseverance and love to work I have had new opportunities to belong to wonderful projectors in this country, I have learned a lot, just at this moment of my life I am migrating from lead editor to postproducer, working for Dinamitapost, one of the most important production companies in CDMX. Very interesting things are coming with this new challenge.
10.- David, like all your impressive career, today you are already one step ahead, collaborating in different productions, you are already a Post Producer and you are working hand in hand with an important Mexican production company. Tell us about this step and how you are developing this new responsibility, which is also your passion?
Well, it has been another discovery for me, directing all the departments involved in the whole post-production process has become a new challenge for me that has filled me with passion and a lot of emotion, where I still have a lot to learn, managing the entire workflow, directing an entire staff, has its art.
11.- David, in spite of the obstacles, how did you overcome them?
With perseverance, desire, motivation and the constant search to improve myself and learn every day.
12.- What has motivated you every day?
The results of the work, the reaction of the ¨crew¨ to the good vibes and professionalism that prevails in each project that comes and see it on the screen.
13.- As an Editor – Post Producer – Musician you see that Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a tool, but it rubs shoulders with us in every task. What do you think about the progress of new technologies and social media in relation to the artistic world, the entertainment industry?
I think that AI will never overcome the art and passion of man, it is amazing everything that can be done with AI, in fact I already use it with some frequency, but I think that the fear that many have that we can be replaced by this new tool will dissipate over time.
14.- Are you aware that your work, experience, trajectory make you every day an Influencer in your sector, an authoritative voice and an example for thousands of kids who want to reach and do things like you, participating in cartoons, movies, etc. How do you take this responsibility?
I think by setting an example, being humble, honest and very responsible every day.

¡¡¡¡Good vibes all the time!!!!
18.- David, what places do you recommend visiting in Venezuela, your native country, and in Mexico, your new home? What other countries do you know and/or would you like to visit?
