  • Voice actor Sarah Natochenny takes us through her full process of dubbing 'Pokémon.' Cartoons like 'Pokémon' are often reinterpreted from one language to another and require fine-tuning, digital lengthening, and script alteration. From scene setting to the first run through, watch Sarah’s cartoon dubbing session with a voice director and engineer down to the completed scene.
    'Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution' is streaming now on Netflix: www.netflix.com/Title/81223075

    Fun fact, the voice director Lisa has voiced characters and Pokémon like Korrina, Mars, Flannery, Ash's Oshawott, and Ash's Naganadel! Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the whole process. And extremely well spoken at the end! You're not offending the original actor, you're enhancing their performance by bridging the gap closer so that more people can understand what's happening. Like she said, it also helps others pick up a new language. Tomáš Masaryk once said, "As many languages you know, as many times you are a human being"

    • @thelordstarfish

      Indeed. The Norwegian dub has him voiced by a man and it's... *very* obvious that it's not a kid's voice. I mean *as* a kid I didn't really question it, and I've seen enough examples of kids with obviously adult voices that it doesn't sound *that* off to me... but both Sarah Natochenny, Veronica Taylor and Rica Matsumoto are just... *so* much more convincingly boyish despite obviously not being boys. (Though Veronica Taylor's earliest performances where she *was* trying to make her voice deeper to sound more like a boy... Yeah that was rough.)
