Her work also encompasses a vast array of audiobooks, including titles by authors such as Agatha Christie and Christina Lauren, as well as dubbing for live-action films and television series like The Crown and Vikings: Valhalla.
Barbera's talent has been recognized with industry accolades. In 2018, she won the Premio Teatrale Nazionale Franco Angrisano for Best Actress and placed third in the Premio Nazionale Gino Cervi. She continued her winning streak in 2020 by taking first place in the Actors&Poetry competition in the actor-dubbing actor category.
