Biography

Elle est animatrice sur Canal+ Espagne, ce qui lui valut d'être remarquée par les réalisateurs Paco Plaza et Jaume Balagueró, qui recherchaient une vraie présentatrice pour incarner Angela Vidal dans le long-métrage d'horreur REC, sorti en novembre 2007. Ce film lui valut sa renommée en Espagne comme à l'étranger, et son succès poussa les deux réalisateurs à faire une suite, [REC]², sortie en octobre 2009. Elle n'apparaît pas dans le troisième volet de la saga, [REC]³ Génesis, sortie en 2012, puisqu'il s'agit d'une histoire se produisant au même moment que les deux premiers films. Cependant, Manuela Velasco reprend son rôle d'Angela Vidal dans le quatrième et dernier volet de la saga, intitulé [Rec] Apocalypse.

En 2010, l'actrice intègre la troisième saison de la série à succès Águila Roja (L'Aigle rouge) diffusée sur La 1.

Elle est renouvelée pour une troisième saison tournée en été 2015 et diffusée en septembre 2015 en Espagne.

En 2015, elle devient membre du jury du prestigieux Festival de Malaga, un événement très populaire en Espagne qui dévoile les premières tendances cinématographiques de l'année.

Début 2016, elle reprend le tournage de la quatrième saison de Velvet où elle partagera des scènes avec sa tante Concha Velasco.Elle évoque dans une interview l'évolution de son personnage qui sombre dans la folie dans la troisième saison de Velvet. Après la série elle retrouve les studios Bambu Producciones pour une nouvelle série : Traición , la série est diffusée de 2016 à 2017, après elle annonce dans la foulée qu'elle est enceinte. Très rétissante à rejoindre le casting de la suite des aventures des galeries Velvet avec le spin-off : Velvet Collection, elle se décide à rejoindre alors l'aventure lors de la seconde saison de celle-ci reprenant ainsi le rôle de Cristina Ortegui.
