She’s so incredibly well spoken, extremely realistic in her tips, and just a pleasure to listen to. I have no interest in this career but I love this video. Definitely could be implemented into other fields.
Sarah Natochenny is The Lady Gaga of The Pokemon Anime Voice Acting World Plus Veronica Taylor’s The Cyndi Lauper(or Madonna) of The Pokemon Anime Voice Acting World Both of them are So ICONIC AF
Ugh, I hate these comments. Do people not understand how marketing works? They are not slighting her by not putting her name in the title. Instead they are probably doing her a service by having a title that attracts views. Most people have no idea who she is so it makes far more sense to just say “voice actor”. And it’s not like her name isn’t listed
This video is such a good learning tool for any aspiring VA's such as myself because Sarah offers so many tips and advice on how to develop as a VA and how to start as one! Thank you so much for making this video with Sarah! It's greatly appreciated!
I hope they do more of these not only with Sarah but other voice actors (anime, animation, video games, live action). I would love to see their different techniques and advice.
She is so awesome and so lucky. She's been doing this about 15 years now. Having a steady job, performing in such a populair pop culture phenomenon must be frikking awesome!
7:55 I remember Will Smith and Tom Holland said they never saw each other throughout the entire 'filming' of Spies in Disguise, they recorded all their lines separately.
For many animated movies in America, actors tends to record by themselves. 2 or more actors recording together is very rare. Goes to show you how improv is very important when it comes to acting.
I'm a recording engineer at a studio that records voice acting regularly, and I cannot stress enough, that this is AMAZING advice for aspiring voice actors. She is clearly incredibly talented!
Not a huge fan of dubbing but this was very informative and I enjoyed watching it. Not being able to rehearse lines explains a lot for anime dubbing. :
SHe needs to do a masterclass for people! So insightful! And I'm so happy to see Pokemon voice actors getting recognized as talents that needs more spotlight! TY Vanity Fair for providing such good content!
"You don't wanna fall over in the booth, it's weird." That felt a little too knowledgeable xD And I agree what she said about subtitles. Especially more recently, now that a lot of studios have improved their dubbing. If you haven't tried it, My Hero Academia has fantastic english dub.

thecheckM8 Japan is the only country with a full-blown educational system for the specific job of voice acting. Really goes to show no other country can compete with Japan in that.
Best dubbing of all time was for the Anime Kinnikuman Ultimate Muscle. I am normally a subtitle reading fan of foreign films but that dubbing was on another level!
She’s a voice acting legend but for me money heist is something that I can’t listen to in English a lot of the emotion is ripped away but you do an amazing job
Our dubbing is also spectacular in how the dialogues are constructed to perfectly match the lip movements. Often you don't actually realize that the actors aren't the ones talking, especially because our voice actors will do one actor in every movie, so your so used to them having that voice it's just weird to hear them talk in English. But its also kinda bad, because I can't watch movies or series made in Spanish speaking countries, because you can't match up their lip movements. And as soon as I see that, it's game over for that movie, I just can't watch anymore.
Dubbing gets some flak as to some, it's just not as authentic to the original source material. But tbh, dubbing shows, films, anime, etc actually helps a lot of people, especially those with ADHD and dyslexia. I had a friend in middle school who I was trying to get into anime, so I recommended Ouran High School Host Club as that suited her tastes more. I told her to try the sub version, since at that time I believed it was the better version. But she admitted to me that she has ADHD and has trouble focusing on the captions. At the time, I didn't really think that people with ADHD and/or dyslexia would probably have some issues reading sub of a content they want to enjoy. I also have international friends who watch eng dub versions of their country's shows or movies to better understand the English language. A Japanese international student that I was in class with told me that they would watch an english dub versions of anime they know, such as FMA:Brotherhood. The reason for this is because they already know the story and remembered what goes on in the scenes in their native language, so it helps as a sort of background or auditory comparison when watching it in another language, if that makes sense. So yeah, thanks for dubbing!
FMA Brotherhood is a pretty good example. The series hasn't been dubbed in my language, so I started watching it in the original Japanese, but I heard a few samples of the English dub and went back to episode 1 and watched it all in English, simply because of how good the dub is.
I like subtitles because I use them even in English media, but ia that a lot of subtitles (especially on Netflix...) aren't always accurate. The sub v dub debate is definitely a nuanced one, if not one that should only be considered on a case by case basis.
I find that dubs more than subs change waay too much of the sentiment of what it's being said. probably to fit to the sounds/mouth movements. but I trust more subs for that reason. I don't find the "when you look at the subs, you can't see what's happening on the screen" to be true. you have a very wide field of view. sure, your focus is in the subs, but it's not like if your mother is standing right besides the tv you won't see her because you're focusing on the subs.
@Macca McDonald Funny you mentioned Spirited Away. I usually watch anime in subs, but because I watched the dubs of Inuyasha and all of the Miyazaki movies in english first the nostalgia makes me only able to watch the dubs. Haha
She kinda right though, the rest of the world is all-in on dubbing. The point is it needs to be a good quality dub... (a lazy poor quality subtitle effort won't be able to ruin the experience half as bad as a lazy poor quality dubbing effort will).
bhaiya mere. tum script ke baare me bol rahe hoge maybe. hamare paas bahut hi jada ache voice actors hai. my fav sanket mahatre and rajesh khattar. chhodo kya hi bolu.
Yeah I feel something strange on her, because Veronica Taylor is more emotional than her because she care about the money for don’t mind to role as Ash than others
I always show my 10yo daughter every video of Sarah Natochenny I can find to show her that she can be creative and successful. thanks for being so awesome, Sarah
1:06 I am German and I am so flattered right now. :) I have grown up with the German version of the lion king but I 'd also seen the musical version in new york back 3 years ago and I absolutely loved it.
It's fascinating that English speaking people aren't that used to dubbed movies/shows. In Germany, it's so common, because we watch those American movies like everyone else. And we would recognize Johnny Depp's or Leo DiCaprio's voice out of thousands. Because they've had the same German dubbing actor for yeeeeaaars. It's them. I love that.
I was thinking the same. And if the Voice of for example Leo DiCaprio dubbes someone else, I’m like “wait a sec, that’s Leo’s voice”. Haha it’s just normal in Germany.
Das mag auch stimmen... Aber ich stimme mehr mit dem Video überein - dabei geht zu viel Aufmerksamkeit fürs Lesen drauf. Das Lernen muss man schon wollen, dann wird das auch. Die Option OV mit Untertiteln hat man ja immer noch auf anderen Wegen. So hab ich's jedenfalls erlebt 😊
While Veronica Taylor is still my favorite Ash voice, Sarah Natochenny does a really good job. I still remember when the TPCi cast took over with Season 9 (Pokémon: Battle Frontier), watching Fear Factor Phony on TV and instantly hearing that the characters got new voices just shocked me, just because I never knew it was going to happen. But this was back in 2006, when I was 11 years old and I don't think the internet was a big thing, so I never knew about the voice casting changes and all that jazz. Just typing this out, it was really nice to reflect on the past, now I'm 25 years old, I've been following Pokemon since I was basically a toddler, when the franchise came to the US. So this was a nice trip down memory lane. xD
There's a song in Catalan called "L'home que dobla en Bruce Willis" which translates to "The man who dubs Bruce Willis" and explains a funny story (not real, though) were the dubber went to meet the real actor thinking he would know him. It's kind of a comic song and it's a great song :)
Russian dub in the late '90s and early '2000s is the best. They dub female characters with a male dubber, and that same male dubber dubs the rest of the characters for the entire show.
That how most audio books are executed. And I actually prefer into having multiple voice actors. You always somehow end up knowing who's taking. They are just that good.
I love Sarah and respect her profession and the tips of the video, but, as a Brazilian, I really don't agree that dubs are better than watching movies with subtitles. With practice you can pay attention in both the audio and the visual in the movies and shows you're watching, as a person who consumes a LOT of foreign content, I'm doing it my whole life. The voice is a important part in the original acting and the experience of the viewer. Also, it helps you learn another language! And in my opinion, it is really important to american people to learn other languages other than english.
The moment I heard her name, I thought she must speak Russian. She has a clean American accent, but her Russian has a sliiiight American accent, in my opinion. But both are AMAZING!!
