The Diversity Foundation reaffirms its commitment to diversifying the film industry, particularly in the dubbing sector, by announcing the first competition for the Diversity – For Dubbing scholarship, created in collaboration with the prestigious voice art dubbing school.

The announcement, presented at the 80th Venice International Film Festival, will award six scholarships to fully cover the three-year Voice Art Dubbing course to support aspiring professionals in the world of dubbing from underrepresented groups.

The project was created by a highly experienced DE&I team with the goal of providing opportunities and professionalism, identifying actors who have historically had difficulty accessing these types of training and work opportunities, with the goal of promoting and specifically supporting inclusivity in film. professions that give new life to the entire audiovisual industry.

Awarded “for the high value expressed in the teaching of its students” at the Tonino Accolla Award as “Best Dubbing School in Italy 2022” (and also from 2015 to 2018), the Voice Art dubbing school boasts the collaboration of teachers such as Bruno Alessandro, Chiara Colizzi, Maria Pia Di Meo, Luca dal Fabbro, Angiola Baggi, Emanuela Rossi, Davide Perino and Antonio Palumbo, voice actors and dubbing directors who have voiced actors such as Meryl Streep, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, Steve Buscemi. , Elijah Wood, Susan Sarandon and many others.

The initiative aims to offer a concrete professional development opportunity and help fill this gap in the behind-the-scenes supply chain, which does not always allow all people in Italy to have access to film professions. The international panorama has long shown us that diversification is a fundamental element of growth, enrichment, innovation and the future of the sector.”
