voice actor
A person who lends their voice to actors in foreign-language films or series, or who provides the voice for animated characters in cartoons or video games.
Der bekannte Synchronsprecher von Bruce Willis hat eine sehr markante Stimme.
Bruce Willis's well-known voice actor has a very distinctive voice.
The word consists of 'synchron' (synchronous, simultaneous) and 'Sprecher' (speaker). A 'Synchronsprecher' (voice actor) therefore speaks their lines in such a way that they match the lip movements of the actor in the original film at the same time.
Ein guter Synchronsprecher muss nicht nur sprechen, sondern auch schauspielern können.
A good voice actor must not only be able to speak, but also to act.
In Germany, almost all foreign films and series are dubbed. That is why the profession of 'Synchronsprecher' (voice actor) is very important, and many voice actors are very well known to audiences.
In Deutschland sind viele Synchronsprecher fast so berühmt wie die Schauspieler, denen sie ihre Stimme leihen.
In Germany, many voice actors are almost as famous as the actors they lend their voices to.
A 'Synchronsprecher' (voice actor) 'leiht' (lends) an actor or character their 'Stimme' (voice). You also say that they 'spricht' (voice) a role or 'synchronisiert' (dub) a film.
Er leiht seit 20 Jahren dem gleichen Hollywood-Schauspieler seine Stimme.

'der Schauspieler' and 'der Synchronsprecher' both often work with films, series, or characters. The most important difference is: an actor plays a role with body, face, and voice, for example in front of the camera or on stage. A voice actor gives their voice to a character or to an actor in a foreign-language production. The words can be confused because in a film you often see a character and hear a voice. When it is about playing the role, 'Schauspieler' fits. When it is about the German voice or the voice of an animated character, 'Synchronsprecher' fits.
