15 behind-the-scenes shots of actors working on cartoons (17 photos)

By the way, by the way, you might not even know who voiced whom, if you really always watched everything in dub. Well then this is even more interesting!





Scoring for Western cartoons is an underrated craft that many viewers may completely overlook. After all, most often we watch the famous projects of Pixar, Disney or, for example, DreamWorks in dubbing. And we don’t hear the voices of guest movie stars who have long made voicing cartoon characters part of their profession.

But even if you watch cartoons in the original or with subtitles, you do not see the process of the actors working on their characters, since it takes place in recording studios away from the audience’s eyes.

Perhaps you would be interested in seeing the star actors and actresses behind the scenes of their work on the voice acting of cartoons? But they are necessarily photographed doing this, and such photographs depict celebrities at a certain age - just like their films. We have made several collages for you, where we see actors sitting or standing in the studio and using only their voices to voice cartoon characters.

Unlike most cartoons, the actors’ work on “Rango” consisted not only of studio voice acting, but also of acting out scenes of their characters live. The result was a kind of theatrical production, including the use of costumes and scenery. Later, the cartoon animators copied the movements and facial expressions of the actors in the resulting video recordings.
