Yasmina Praderas

Biography

Yasmina Praderas is a Goya Award-winning Spanish re-recording mixer, known for her ability to balance complex, high-tension audio landscapes. As the final "sculptor" of a film's sound, she specializes in blending dialogue, effects, and music into a cohesive theatrical experience, frequently collaborating with acclaimed directors like Rodrigo Sorogoyen and Albert Serra. In January 2026, Praderas made history as a member of the first all-female team nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound. She received the nomination for "Sirāt" (2025), directed by Óliver Laxe. As the Re-recording Mixer, Praderas was responsible for the film's final sonic architecture, merging the raw desert recordings of Amanda Villavieja and the stylized design of Laia Casanovas into a "hypnotic" mix that critics described as essential to the film's narrative. The trio also won the European Film Award for Best European Sound Designer in late 2025. Praderas has long been a heavyweight in European cinema. She previously won the Goya Award for Best Sound for the thriller "The Beasts" (As bestas) (2022), where she crafted the film's suffocating, tension-filled atmosphere. Her portfolio also includes the surreal soundscape of Albert Serra's "Pacifiction" (2022) and the comedy "The People Upstairs" (2020).
