Alberto Peláez is a Spanish journalist and writer who had a brief early career as a voice actor for film and television dubbing in Spain during the 1980s. Born in Madrid on February 22, 1964, he studied journalism at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and later pursued postgraduate studies at Harvard University. His voice acting work was an early professional pursuit from 1981 to 1989, which he combined with his studies, and he credited this experience with helping him develop better voice handling, intonation, and acting skills. Among his notable dubbing roles during this period was providing the Spanish voice for a young Tom Hanks in the film Big.

In the context of anime, Alberto Peláez is credited with a voice role in the Spanish dub of the Japanese animated film Sekai Meisaku Dōwa: Mori wa Ikiteiru, where he played the character April. This film, produced by Toei Animation and released in Japan in 1980, is a fantasy story based on a play by Samuil Marshak. The Spanish dubbing for this production was done by the studio Sincronia. Peláez's role in this film represents a specific credit within his broader, but brief, engagement with voice acting before he transitioned fully into his primary career as a war journalist and correspondent.
