Human Connection Via Voice
Our feature on MultiLingual’s website explains how multimedia localization—including voice overs, dubbing, and subtitling—is a must for companies aiming for international growth. With video driving the majority of internet traffic, brands are increasingly using localized audio and visual content to build deep emotional connections that text alone can’t achieve.
Dubbing Versus Subtitling
Choosing between dubbing, voice overs, and subtitling is a strategic decision that depends on a project’s creative goals, budget, and target audience. In this article we wrote for MultiLingual, we help businesses navigate international expansion by breaking down the differences between these formats as well as audience perceptions of them.

Our Leadership Team
Tim Giardina
Founder & CEO
Tim has always understood that the best results don’t come from individual talent alone — they come from building the right team and putting people in positions to succeed. It’s a philosophy he lives out on the softball field coaching his daughter’s Intensity Softball travel team, and it’s the same one he brings to every client project at Metro Audio and Video.
Tim began his career as a sound engineer and quickly became familiar with video and motion graphics production and the localization industry. Today, his team of skilled engineers and producers have allowed Metro Audio and Video to revolutionize the production of multimedia for global audiences. Over the years, Tim has developed and maintained a group of over 3000 professionally trained voice talents and linguists, in over 150 languages. As a producer, director and engineer, Tim actively participates in all Metro Audio and Video productions. Tim graduated from SAE Institute with a degree in audio production and John Jay College with degrees in English and Criminal Justice.
Maya Tsirulnik
Vice President Of Sales & Marketing
As one of Metro Audio and Video’s first employees, Maya has been instrumental in building the company’s sales strategy from the ground up. Her background spans digital marketing, multimedia localization, and finance — bringing a rare combination of creative instinct and business expertise to every client relationship.
Prior to Metro, Maya held finance roles at leading multimedia production companies specializing in localization and translation. She holds degrees in business administration and finance from Baruch College.
Maya was recently honored with the KUDOS Award from Women in Localization for her leadership in their Global Mental Health & Wellness Program — recognized for her strategic thinking, initiative, and commitment to community impact. When she’s not driving Metro’s growth, she’s spending time with family, traveling, or reading a good book.
