Benedetta degli Innocenti and Jasmine Laurenti in the park of Villa Montalvo

At Firenze Comics 2023, two of the most beloved Italian dubbed female voices: Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 September To Villa Montalvo (Campi Bisenzio) Benedetta degli Innocenti and Jasmine Laurenti will be the protagonists of the seventh edition of the long-awaited fair of comics, fantasy and pop culture.

We all know it well Benedetta Degli Innocenti, the official Italian voice of Lady Gaga in films, and other important characters in major television series, such as Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary) – the main character of “Downtown Abbey” – and Daisy Ridley in “Star Wars”, Anya Chalotra in ” The Witcher, Danielle Brooks in Orange Is the New Black. In 2015 it won the Audience Award at the VII International Dubbing Grand Prix, in 2018 it received a special mention in the cinema category at the Voci nell’Ombra dubbing festival, and in 2019 it won the I Sassi D’oro award.

“I am connected with Florence by an atmosphere saturated with art and freedom, which I have always felt, comments Benedetta. I hate to say it, but it was our favorite place in those days when my three friends and I really wanted to avoid being interrogated by the professor. stories. And then regional at 8am from Prato and beyond. A trip to the Uffizi, a burger, and the morning was an unforgettable moment. And then my closest friend Giulia Mazzoni lives there, a world-renowned pianist and composer whom I have known since kindergarten. Both the affection that I have for her and the infatuation with Florence have been merging together for many years. On stage, I’m going to do a little demo, obviously showing only part of the whole work that’s actually behind it. And above all to give an opportunity to someone from the audience to rehearse with me.

What about Jasmine Laurenti, another professional who needs no introduction. His voice belongs to many of the most beloved characters, from Maria (Let’s sing along) to Simone (It’s almost magical Johnny); from Sailor Venus (Sailor Moon) to Kaori (City Hunter) and then Tisiphone (Knights of the Zodiac) again, Lama in some OAVs, Margo in Lupine, Dee Dee (Dexter’s Lab), Aida (Aida of Trees) and many, many more. The 79th Venice Film Festival will present a film in which she starred as an actress in the flesh: “Only Ninaby independent director Massimo Libero Michieletto.

“It’s been a long time since my last comic book fair,” Jasmine explains, “and having a magical experience in itself in a city as magical as Florence is a gift within a gift. I can’t wait to hug my fans again and compete with them to see who has the most gray hair. I have a vague feeling that I will beat them. My favorite thing to do, besides posing with them for stories and short videos on social media, is signing calves with a tattoo artist’s needle. But how. Didn’t you know? It’s very trendy these days to get an autographed tattoo of your favorite voice actor! Seriously, voicing dozens and dozens of cartoons can have weird consequences when you get “grown up” because “inside” you’re always a bit of a kid. Then we understand that the flow of time also has a “serious” aspect, deep and full of meaning. And it is this part of me, besides the game, that is absolutely new. Therefore, I will answer your questions about dubbing, spreading my discoveries here and there, broken and corrected dreams, closed and open doors. I will tell the one who is the least known, the least predictable and the least obvious in me. So that every time you listen to the voices of Creta, Sailor Venus, Lama, Tisiphones or Dee Dee, you think of me not only as a “voice actress” but also as a full moon lake reporter (I love photographing the full moon reflected in the lake) , a restless late-night scribbler, (yes, I’m writing my third book) and an avid dreamer who never gives up (It’s never too late to be happy!!!). Long story short: I’m looking forward to seeing you in issue 7 of Firenze Comics.
