- 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.

She's been playing Ash since 2006, since she was like 19 years old. That's some dedication and talent.
Wow, that's amazing.
She was 23 though?
She's actually played Ash longer than his original English voice actress.
There is a bit of a sad story behind it.
@BigBrotherW...what’s the story?
You can tell that she wants to be the very best, like no one ever was...
And to catch them is her real test, to train them is her cause
Tymek Zasada I think you meant:
And to catch them is her real test, to train them is her cause
She will travel across the land searching far and wide...
Each pokemon to understand the power that's inside!

A fellow SU fan
thats when u know someone is living a character, hes like her son
This is way more detailed than i expected it to be wow.
Lol fr..I mean it's mainly just kids watching this..
Recording professional level audio and voice acting is actually a difficult thing? What?? Never!
I'm stressed for her
to be honest, I don't understand why she can't say thunderbolt like rica does, it's different word but sound similar, so she should be able to pull off that; thun-der-bolt like juman boruto
I just watched guardian of alola vs pikachu Z move in the dub, gosh, I would feel terrible if I made that, they completely destroyed original hype and type:wild song
The first time Ash's voice came out of her I thought she was the one being dubbed by Ash.
Ditto 😂😂😂
But she's the wrong Ash
Gold
GoldBatman10 hUh?
GoldBatman10 facts worst Ash ever
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"
Cool
Fun fact she has been voicing since season 1 and is the voice for daisy Misty's sister
She was also the voice of Amy Rose in Sonic X
She was also ironically, Lisa in the 3rd movie.

Demonte Price and that’s when I stopped watching Pokémon sadly
Because she’s still not as good as Veronica
Veronica Taylor voiced Ash up until the end of Hoenn
When she starts voice acting it feels like ash is actually the one overdubbing her and shes just moving her mouth
I can't wrap my head around it
That's talent my friend
Lmaoo yeah this was pretty weird. Her normal voice is really nice though
People like her are the real superhero’s
Right 😅
IKR.
I wish voice actors like her would get the roles in major animated films instead of always some celebrity or traditional actor.
@J C That's what they're looking for when they use celebrity actors... They want that
U like her don't U
blame disney specifically aladdin and robin williams.
That’s common in Japan too!
Jim Cummings seems to be doing okay.
People when they find out both Ash and his mom are voiced by the same woman:
*surprised pikachu face*
It was crazier with the original VA. She did Ash, his mom AND May!
Never has that meme been used more appropriately
Yes

Don’t she also voice May too .?
@@Mileznmiles May was voiced by Ash’s original voice actor but after the original actors were replaced someone else took over
@@vitamindeeznutz4102 o I c
She's got such a great voice. Everything is so crystal clear and easy to understand. This is one difficult job and she's doing an awesome job of it. Appreciate it a lot.
Dictation is one of the most important skills to have for actors, and not just voice actors.
@@indigo8592 keep telling your self that
ash mcgrath make me wanna neck?
She's been doing this for a decade and some change
@@indigo8592 yet so many hollywood actors slur like they just had a stroke. I have to turn on subs more often than not.
Ok, to everyone who is surprised that Ash's voice is made by a woman, in animation, most of the time, kids voices are made by females, due to male's voices being USUALLY way too deep to make it sound good.
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.)
@@thelordstarfish Yea her first season as Ash if I remember correctly was the Battle Frontier arc and I remember as a kid wondering if Ash caught a cold or something lol.
@@TaqSoto I said Veronica Taylor, the *first* English Ash voice. Go back and watch some of the very earliest episodes of the series. She's very clearly putting on a more "masculine" voice, and it sounds really awkward. Her performance became infinitely more natural as she toned that down.
@@thelordstarfish Well, in spanish he's been voiced by 2 men since the start, and...eh...sounds like a default anime protagonist, not really a kid, but meh, we are all used to his voice by this point
Obviously. That’s just common fact.
I don't know how, but I've never heard Ash's Japanese voice until now.
rly? Dude, Rica Motsumoto is a legend. She also sings most of the openings.
U only watch dub then
@@rudennings For Pokemon, yes. I grew up with it.

Voice actors are often so underrated even though it's a hard job. I'm so impressed that so many people have so interesting voices and the talent to give their voices to those characters.
yea wow you're right, talking so so tough. she should try coal mining or something easier
@@SighsInternally I sighed internally at your comment. What they meant was, compared to on screen visual acting, voice acting is much more difficult because you need to convey emotions much stronger and through your voice alone.
My name is Morty it is indeed difficult and requires a lot of creativity and imagination
I hear they have the best of both worlds. There famous get paid famous money and don't have yo worry about fans bombarding them.
@@skinflaver Eh, hardly. "Famous", among fans, sure but I doubt they're paid "famous" money anywhere near the likes of on screen actors.
This looks insanely difficult, she’s crazy talented

Frank Of the filth “insanely” - “crazy” 🤣
She’s awesome though
Yep!
This is literally just standard voice acting
Salute to this talented woman! Thanks for keeping a character that's near and dear to my childhood entertaining as I remembered
☕ women lol
In the Swedish version, Ash is voiced by a man who was 38 when it started, now he's 60 and still doing it lol
Oh w o w
XD
Same in Norway, but he is much younger than your, i think he was 20 when he started dubbing the norwegain Version in 1997-1998, and he stills Dubs them to this day
Va?! Men gud vad kul 😅
Lol!!
She said she “i was bad at this”. I cannot imagine someone better. She isso talented
Veronica Taylor was honestly better :(
Heaven Monell yeah Veronica Taylor was Sssooo better
@@gilbertmillers4865 For a younger Ash I completely agree. She sounds more mature, as if he had aged, which I think we all wished for lol.
Jake Clements I get that totally it was OK for a while but now I just miss Veronica Taylor and the original cast plus people are already making a petition to have Veronica Taylor back and me and 4 other people have already signed it I’m sorry but we want Taylor back the current actress’s voice was OK for like 3 generations but not anymore
Caleb Brito Nah let Sarah do her thing. Must be awful to have people petition to remove you when the job you’re doing is great.
This is actually way more difficult that I thought
Legit! I thought it wouldn't be that hard but turns out to be nearly impossible for me. Lol
@@jinhub2175 You can try with small projects , it kinda helps if you ever had normal acting before too or it depends if the character fits you or not but nothing its impossible
Fr
I heard that (at least in NZ) there’s a course specifically for voice acting, so people probably get base skills there. I’m not sure if dubbing is involved, but I know it’s awkwardly difficult to abridge anything cause there’s a lot to consider.
This was so cool to watch!! Never knew this job was so difficult, you’re so talented
Was a little confused at seeing how young Sarah was so I looked her up and she's only 32 and she started voicing Ash in 2006 which means she was only around 18-19 when she got the role and apparently was around 11 when the show started. Crazy.
As in she’s a millionaire over and over. Good for her.
@@rrogers2370 I bet she's paid well but a "millionaire" is a bit exaggerated.
BuzziMuzzi nah. I’m probably spot on. If she’s been a part of this series since 2006 reaching a million isn’t that hard. A long running tv series...movies..video games etc. Can you imagine her checks during the shows peak? Lol
@@rrogers2370 voice actors don't make that much, buddy
Freyzi another lady played ash before 2006 so she didn’t start when she was 11
This looks like more difficult a process than I imagined
Its seems difficult but also easy at the same time cause they are so good at it
I can’t fathom how hard I’m must have been to dub in the 80s and 90s
I dont want to say this is..............bad lest I disrespect her but man isnt it ultra cringe to listen Eng dub? I've been watching anime for long time and always watched them when they come out with sub then I listen to this dubbed ones I feel so fuckin cringe. No matter what they cant copy that natural Japanese tone those people have. It gotta take a lot of time for her to go through this cringy situation. RESPECT.
Agreed
@@thegoblinwholaughs1137 It is impossible to reproduce the Japan spirit in an English dub 100% but I can't vote cringe, you just can't replicate the spirit. That is why you hear their team describe it as an audio re-imagine for a different audience.
As someone who's seen 90ish% of the entire Pokemon series, this was AMAZINGLY interesting. I hope VF does this with other anime and American cartoons.
Lord_Starkiller yes I would like to see Avatar and Korra
I would love to see this with MHA
They should absolutely do one with Steve Blum
Need to see a dragon ball version
Black Lagoon would be cool ;)
Weird that she’s voiced Ash longer than Veronica Taylor. I remember hearing her Ash voice when the VAs first changed and found it so odd. She’s clearly been doing a solid job since then
Veronica the goat
Quality over quantity. Veronica is better
@@christopherwaits7852to each there own. I just don’t think it sounds like ash :( but I never watched past the cast change.
That’s how it goes sometimes I guess
The fact that most people are shocked that young boys are voice acted by women is kinda funny.
It's even present in American cartoons, like Fairly Oddparents
Deoxysoverlord Oddparents? Who dat?
Lunch you haven’t watched fairly odd parents? It’s very popular
Romi Park, a popular seiyuu is a woman but she voiced lots of male MCs in anime. It's actually common in shounen anime that the male MCs are voiced by women.

@@emulsion4 nice for a change
I feel like I couldn’t tell the difference between the digitally lengthened version and the original, and yet, the digitally lengthened version somehow fit better. These engineers really are good at their jobs. This girl is the truth, not only does one must have the skill, but you also need insane patience as well. I hope one day Ash visits Korea so I, the very best like no one ever was, could challenge him to a battle.
I though you were a Korean child that wanted a Korean region game
Then I looked at your name 💀
I hope you allow the kids of your Nation, the MOST Powerful to watch pokémon
Fun fact: Goku, Naruto, and Ash: some of animes most popular main male protagonists played by girls in their original Japanese voices, and some with their English dubs.

Cuz girls don't have low voices and can do kids very easily
Japanese voice actor for goku and goten is a old woman whom I respect alot. She's pretty old, I think around age 84. Its going to be really sad when she passes away cos she truly is an amazing voice actor for goku.
koz0 some women do have very low voices lol. women are just more likely to have voices that sound like little boys. or theyre able to produce the voice.

Uhhhh most kid male characters are traditionally voiced by women. Ben10? Tara Strong, y’all. She also voiced Gizmo on TeenTitans and many, many others
Most of pre teen and teen characters in anime and cartoons are voiced by women.....
There isn't much of a difference in pitch if you compare a woman to a child, because they had no significant voice drop. They only sound different, because of the way they talk.

She isn't even the original English dubbed voice for Ash. That honor belongs to Veronica Taylor, who voiced him when 4Kids were dubbing the anime.
It’s easier for a female to do a prepubescent boy voice than a grown man trying to do it.

Their profession is unjustly overlooked.
Director:"ready for it?"
Sarah: "I guess"
Same
I actually always thought they'd change the mouth flaps after, this is so cool to see
Sometimes.
Ash’s voice is actually a really pretty woman? Man I feel so confused.
Brian most kids voices are women
Try being her boyfriend/ husband. That's all kinds of feels.
She is really pretty and seems nice
Lololol
Naruto was voices by a woman in Japanese rando English too lol
I wish they’d put this much effort into dubbing Netflix Shows
😂😂😂
That's why I watch in sub, but black butler sounds good in dub and I watch it in that.
I think most anime sounds weird in dub not just Netflix, Netflix has good anime too.
Freud was dubbed pretty well I thought.
Dream on
Ash: “I’m a boy!”
Nintendo: *well yes,...but actually no*
Credit to Thunder Chaser!
*intense transgender noises*
game freak own pokemon?
@@HADESM9 no.
yeah so most of the child characters on tv shows are dubbed by girls 🤯
Lil Raph Wow! That’s pretty cool! Thanks for the fact!
I never knew or appreciated how complex the entire process of reinterpreting and voicing the translation. Absolutely incredible team.
she's already better than dutch voice actors, they always talk when the mouths are closed
gabrinator well they don’t have a good team... the voice directors help with getting it right
What do you mean by “already”? Also the production budget for English dub must be a LOT higher than dutch because it caters to wider audience. I bet Pokemon is one anime which spends more on english VA’s than Japanese
@@xtiros2672
The dub actually has a fairly modest budget. Mainly because TPCI is stingy. But voice direction has been competent over the years that mouth flaps fit most of the time.
@@alexanderthegreat4684 to be honest, that budget might be modest in relative terms. The Dutch budget is probably barebones compared to that
You're ignoring the fact the same sentence will be longer and short in different languages, it's hard to dub properly with every language without messing with frames which will mess with the animation
“He always huffing. Always excited and huffing 🙄”
That cracked me up 🤣
I was a voice actor for a couple of years. That job is HARD. I take my hat off to these guys. When you see how cut-throat the voice over world can be, and how quickly you need to adapt and think on your feet in the studio, you realize people like Sarah are magicians. I wasn't half of what these voice actors were. Utmost respect for those who can make a lucrative living out of it.
@ArmchairWarrior Ash changed voice actors?
What character did you voice???
I am currently a voice actor (it's been 7 years now), and it's all pretty much relying on the artistic/visuals matching the voice (yeah i know it's obv). I've had to cut words out of scripts and inflex differently than what was imagined and it went better than most expect. Just like when you ask a painter to paint something, they know what type of paint to use to make it pop more than what you would've ever thought.
But I'll still say it is quite impressive to see people with a lot of learned progress through doing it years after years show it on camera. It's always interesting to see others do what we do.
@@bigbadbanana what character on which show?
I'm an audio director, how is it cutthroat?
I can’t understand why some people hate dubbed version. She is awesome!
I can't explain why but she has the eyes of someone very smart and knowing exactly what she does
Yeah, I think she’s very focused and confident and knows exactly what she’s doing. It’s amazing to see and I aspire to be this dedicated with something in my life!
Ash's Voice actor: Girl
Theorists: Write that down. Write that down
*WRITE*
@@captainplanet4867 lmao sorry
Bart Simpson is also voiced by a girl.
@RitterVonBek68 Makes sense 🤔
Goku voice in Japan is an old lady since forever
Omg I love her personality being able to be many people at once she’s amazing thank you vanity fair for this video it eased my nerves during this lockdown

Fun fact, there is a lot of times where the VA's do multiple characters like that. Especially in anime. It's cheaper than getting a separate person to do it.
@Kane Abel or Rick and Morty
Relax Joe.
Dear SARAH🥺 we know its little emotional to say goodbye to all the memories that we made with ASH whenever i hear your voice i will remember ash and please please don't leave us like ASH and please keep him active in every way you can i will never ever watch Pokemon if there is no ash ketchum and i just want to say you thank you for carrying our ASH 's LEGACY ash Ketchum love you 3000
Pokemon doesn't exist without ash and Pikachu 😭
@@Revealed2705 Woody: Oh shut up
@@Revealed2705 yea the whole thing of pokémon is Ash and Pikachu anyways, most of the community watch for them right?
@@Birbbb yes
I’d imagine how difficult it would be to create dialogue for these characters in English since it was originally aired in Japanese. The voice actors would have to read lines that match the movements of the characters lips and the dialogue would have to remain relevant to the subject.
Good job transcribing what she said in the video... 🙃
Behind every protagonist lies a women's voice
@ hanako is voiced by a woman who is 55 so that aint yung-
The day I found out that Alphonse Elric was actually a girl in brotherhood was a very shocking day
Gigiometry
And in the Japanese version, Edward is also a girl, and the whole manga is also written by a girl
I think Bleach's Ichigo is one of the few rare ones to have a male voice actor, at least in the original Japanese version
@ 15, I think, when it started. Same age as a lot of MC's
Luffy was even older when it started, and then there was the two year time skip. He's 19 now and still voiced by the same woman as day one
*Lets be honest.. Ash has never aged since the first episode..*
Have you seen XY yet?
Ash ages backwards
@@ucproductions5810 yeah he doesnt age
@@Mvtrixx You know something?
I actually think you're right!
@@ucproductions5810 lmao
Her voice is fabulous she sounds amazing just like the character!
