About
Janice
Her Story
Janice Burt, aka Spanish Janice, is a court certified Spanish interpreter, voiceover artist, yoga instructor, author, and inspirational speaker. Having lived in Mexico City as a child, she acquired not only Spanish language skills, but a love and appreciation for a different people group and culture. When she returned back to California, she attended high school and college, graduating with Spanish as her major and Communication Studies as her minor.
She lived as a people pleaser, always trying to find her worth through other people’s approval and validation. She also lived filled with fear. She wasn’t even aware that either of those were true about her until after her divorce in 2012. During her marriage, she appeased and enabled her husband to feel good enough. She lost any type of sense of self that she’d had and wore a mask to fit in and belong. She unintentionally lied and manipulated to be liked and approved of by people.
Her life changed dramatically after her divorce. She hit rock bottom and was engulfed by sadness, anger, loss, and grief. She suddenly realized that she was going to have to take charge of her own life instead of blaming everyone else. She became aware of her subconscious beliefs of lack and limited possibilities. She vowed that she was going to put in the work to change these patterns…
“It is with a great deal of confidence that I offer my recommendation of Janice Burt. Reliable, accurate and prompt can best describe her work ethic. She is one of only a handful of bilingual talents in voice over that can completely dominate both English and Spanish languages. A voice that will stand out from the rest, making your next project a success.”

“She began walking through all of the fears that had held her back in life.”
She began walking through all of the fears that had held her back in life. She ran a marathon because she thought it would be impossible. She started speaking in front of audiences again after 20 years of not speaking publicly because of an experience in high school where she forgot her lines. She self-published a book sharing her story because there were some family secrets that were poisoning her soul. She started acting because she had always loved to be dramatic but was too scared to audition for anything. She became a yoga instructor because she experienced all the benefits of the mind, body, soul connection when she did yoga and wanted to share that with others.
She competed in a bodybuilding competition because she had always had body image issues and wanted to face that fear directly. She did stand-up comedy because she had felt that she didn’t have comedic timing and was scared to fail. She did everything that she was scared to death to do and realized that she was more powerful than those fears that held her back and kept her stuck. In the end, fear keeps us from living our best, most fulfilling lives. Now, she wants everyone to walk through their fears so they can shine, as they are meant to…
