Russian stars who voice the heroes of foreign cartoons
Sometimes, in order to voice his character, an artist even has to fly to the homeland of animated films. And sometimes to work, stripping to the waist. Together with the ivi.ru online cinema, we have collected cartoons with the most stellar cast of voices.
Lightning McQueen speaks in the voice of Dmitry Kharatyan in “Cars”, and in the voice of Timur Rodriguez – a snail in the cartoon “Turbo 3D”. Polina Gagarina and Alexander Pushnoy voiced the cartoon “Monsters on Vacation”, and Mikhail Galustyan gave his voice to the main character in the cartoon “Kung Fu Panda”. Dozens of Russian stars have already joined the animation world and consider it an honor to joke, laugh and be sad with cartoon characters!
Before choosing a voice for a character, animation studios usually do a casting. When it comes to transfer tapes, first of all they are looking for an artist whose voice timbre is as close as possible to the voice of the person who voiced the hero in the original version. In addition to a suitable timbre, applicants are required to have acting skills, good voice, and an ear for music. Therefore, most often the choice is in favor of professional artists. And, of course, the stellar composition of the “voices” allows you to draw attention to the premiere!
Before the start of the recordings, many studios offer artists to sign a contract, according to which they undertake to voice their characters in the event that a continuation of the film is shot. On the set, the artists often do not even meet each other, each soundtrack is recorded separately. Usually the plot of the film is also kept secret, the artists see only those scenes in which their heroes participate. Sometimes the dubbing takes place in the homeland of the film. For example, in order for the heroes of the cartoon “Trolls” to speak Russian, Dima Bilan and Victoria Daineko went to the studio in Los Angeles, where the recording took place.
“Monsters on Vacation – 3: The Sea Calls”
The continuation of the adventures of a family of friendly evil spirits was originally voiced by Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Steve Buscemi. The Russian dubbing caste turned out to be no less impressive: Mavis got the voice of Polina Gagarina, Dracula is voiced by the star of “Policeman from Rublyovka” Sergei Burunov, and Tatyana Lazareva and Mikhail Shats speak for Wanda and Frankenstein. The song of the giant sea monster Kraken for the cartoon was sung by Misha Marvin.
Before the release of the cartoon on the big screens, the dubbing team recorded a funny video in which each actor talked a little about his character. The video turned out to be very cute and touching – you yourself will see how funny the process of dubbing the cartoon takes place.
In the third part, the legendary vampire will face the most exciting test – to fall in love. Mavis, the daughter of a lonely Dracula, decides that it’s time for daddy to take a break from the hotel business. At the height of summer, she organizes a sea cruise for him.
A funny couple Tsvetana and Rozochki in the new cartoon “Trolls” from the creators of “Shrek” were voiced by musicians Victoria Daineko and Dima Bilan.
It is not the first time that Victoria Daineko has voiced the princess – it was in her voice that Rapunzel from Tangled Story spoke. “Since childhood, I have been crazy about these beautiful fairy-tale creatures – trolls. And Rosochka is generally my second “I”, except that I do not have enough pink hair, ”jokes Victoria.
For “Trolls” Bilan and Daineko recorded together the final song in Russian – an adaptation of the famous “Can’t Stop the Feeling” by Justin Timberlake. By the way, the musicians also met Timberlake – in the Los Angeles studio, where the recording took place.
Cinema viewers around the world have heard one song in the ending of the cartoon “Kung Fu Panda” – “Kung Fu Fighting” performed by Cee-Loo Green and Jack Black. Except Asia and Russia. Especially for our rental, the final song “Kung Fu Masters Are Not Born” was sung by Ilya Lagutenko, the leader of the Mumiy Troll group.
The main character, the lazy panda Po, who dreams of becoming a warrior, is voiced by Jack Black in the original, and Mikhail Galustyan in Russian. In a joint interview, the actors said that they prefer to voice cartoons … naked to the waist. “It’s very convenient, took off the top – and you no longer rustle your clothes, nothing interferes,” says Galustyan.
The voice of Lightning McQueen in one of the most beloved cartoons of all boys remains unchanged – for a car that cannot imagine life without a track, Dmitry Kharatyan still says. Sally was voiced by actress Alika Smekhova, who has been living with this heroine for ten years. But for the new heroes – the mentor of Lightning Cruz Ramirez and the racing expert Natalie Digest – in “Cars” speak newcomers and dubbing business – actress Irina Pegova and TV presenter Elena Letuchaya.
“My character Cruz Ramirez is hyperactive. But it turned out that I was even faster than her, so when dubbing I had to slow down and stretch phrases, ”says Irina Pegova about her work.
Lightning McQueen is a racing veteran and many think it’s time for him to retire. In the third part of “Cars” the legendary car will defend its right to be on the track.
The English voice of the snail Theo, dreaming of becoming a racer, belongs to Ryan Reynolds, Russian to Timur Rodriguez. And the dubbing actors met in Barcelona to share with the press their impressions of the work and the cartoon itself.
“In general, this cartoon snail, which I voiced, is very similar to me in the desire not only to prove something to everyone around, but above all to tell myself that there is not a single reason to press the brake pedal,” he said Rodgriguez.
“Turbo” is a touching story of Theo the snail, who does not want to put up with the idea that representatives of her family are not capable of achieving more, and intends to prove it … in the races.
