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: https://www.netflix.com/Title/81223075

I’m sorry but Veronica, Rachel and Eric are the true Kings and Queens. I appreciate the new voices now have more the the original, and some voices I can cope with, but losing Eric as James is truly a devastating lose

Ash holds his nose to mimic him going underwater to his mom. His Japanese voice actor reflects this action in his voice by making it sound muffled. Sarah does not, and there is no guidance to do so. It would’ve been more interesting to see her do that.

I wonder if this fucks with kids heads on a subconscious level to have a boy be voiced by a woman.
