See? That’s exactly what I was talking about. Going to London every time I want to watch good british comedy will be too expensive I’m afraid.

I also wonder when (if at all) they broadcast The Office on German telly. And if they do how stupid the dubbing will be. Remember Sat 1 killing Monty Python with those draedful translations.

there are a few good german dubbings like simpsons, but then again, there’s south park and monty python, both a disgrace to the ear, even if you don’t know the originals.
oh, and if anyone wants to see real bad dubbing, watch junk-resident zombie with the original japanese oliver kahn double.

I haven’t watched it in English so I can’ compare it.
I think usually they do a good job when dubbing movies or series. They’re just getting problems with puns or ‘local’ references (e.g. they sometimes insert the names of well known German characters when an American one was named in the original).
Famous international actors also have a constant German voice as well, e.g. Christian Brückner has come to fame just because he’s the voice of Robert De Niro.

When you think about it - that seems really weird! - do the voice over people always stick to the same actors for all their films?

Mostly, especially for well known actors. Of course, sometimes a change is necessary, e.g. the man who dubbed Peter Falk as Columbo passed away so they had to find a replacement.

Some do, some don’t. Alan Rickman f.e. has at least 5 different german voices. One more terrible than the other. Two of them are nearly squeaking. :mad:

You bet he is. You wouldn’t even have the slightest that one of those voices could have something to do with him. :D

You’re right. Same with my voice. But in recognizing Mr. R.’s voice I’m very good, usually. *g*

Huh? (he had red hair, btw., as real as his black hair was.) Austrian? Me? How?

Speaking of German dubbing voices, I have a question.
One and the same guy is dubbing Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sly Stallone, Denis Quaid, Nick Nolte, John Cleese and Terence Hill, yet his voice sounds incredibly different at times. When he is dubbing a “seriuos” production he always sounds like he had a cold (for instance the way he dubbed Dennis Quaid in “The Rookie” or “The Day After Tomorrow”) and in comedies or action movies his voice is much lighter. That’s pretty weird, I don’t think it’s possible to change your voice like that. So, my question is, do they artificially slow his voice down so that it seems somewhat darker in serious movies?
By the way, the same goes for the guy who’s the voice of Bill Murray and Tom Hanks depending on whether he’s dubbing a comedy or a drama.

I think it’s possible to have different voices. They showed a piece of Christian Tramitz doing his job for Finding Nemo, hardly recognizable compared to his normal voice.
