Monique Nevers
Description
Monique Nevers is a French actress primarily known for her extensive work in dubbing, where she has lent her voice to numerous characters in film and television. Her career began on the stage and in front of the camera before she became a prominent figure in the world of voice acting. Trained at the Conservatoire de la ville de Paris, her early career included theatrical performances and television roles, such as appearing in the adaptation of Le Père Goriot. The growth of the television and dubbing industry in France provided her with the opportunity to pursue voice acting, a path that also offered her the stability to raise her family while continuing her work as a performer.
Nevers is perhaps most recognized by anime fans as the new French voice of the beloved character Krilin in the Dragon Ball franchise. She took over the role from Claude Chantal, starting with Dragon Ball Z Kai and continuing through Dragon Ball Super and its associated films, including Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Her casting for the part came about through director Antoine Nouel, who had her perform tests for the character. Despite having no prior experience in animation dubbing, she found the process, particularly the combat scenes and vocal expressions, to be surreal yet highly enjoyable. Rather than imitating her predecessor, she chose to reinterpret the character based on her own sensibilities, though she was informed that her natural vocal timbre was similar to Claude Chantal's. She has expressed great admiration for the veteran cast of the series, from whom she learned a great deal about the specific techniques required for animation dubbing. Her other notable work in anime includes voicing Dame Sagami in the Studio Ghibli film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya and Dr. Blight in the animated series Captain Planet.
Beyond anime, a significant part of Nevers' career is defined by her recurring collaborations with specific actresses, becoming their regular French voice. She is the designated French voice for Canadian actress Teryl Rothery, most famously voicing Dr. Janet Fraiser throughout the entire run of the science fiction series Stargate SG-1. This long-standing association has continued across many other television series and films starring Rothery. She is also one of the primary French voices for actresses Beth Broderick and Christiane Hörbiger, among others, providing dubbing for their roles in numerous television shows and telefilms. Her dubbing work is remarkably prolific, encompassing a vast array of television series where she has voiced characters in shows such as Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, Arrow, and Inspector Barnaby.
A notable achievement in her later career has been her connection with a new generation of fans through her role in Dragon Ball. This has led to her being invited as a guest to various manga and pop culture conventions, such as Paris Manga, where she has had the opportunity to meet and interact with the passionate fanbase. She has expressed surprise and respect for the diverse and dedicated public she encounters at these events, a stark contrast to her early career in theatre and live-action television.
