Cerise Calixte is a French singer, dancer, and voice actress known for her work in dubbing animated films and series into French. Her career is marked by a significant association with Disney, beginning with her casting as the French voice of the titular character in the 2016 film Vaiana: La Légende du bout du monde, a role she has since reprised in various projects, including the 2024 sequel Vaiana 2. This opportunity arose after she was noticed by Disney studios, although contrary to some reports, it was not directly linked to her 2015 appearance on the French television singing competition The Voice: La Plus Belle Voix, where she was not selected by the judges. Her casting was based on her vocal abilities, with her physical resemblance to the character being discovered later.

While her role as Vaiana is a cornerstone of her career, Calixte has built an extensive portfolio in dubbing. In live-action, she has provided the French voice for actresses such as Taylor Russell in the Escape Game films and Halle Bailey as Ariel in the 2023 film La Petite Sirène. Her voice work in animation extends to films like Abominable, where she voiced the protagonist Yi, and the My Little Pony: Nouvelle Génération film as Sunny Starscout.

In the realm of anime and animated series, Calixte has contributed to the French adaptations of several notable productions. As specified, she voiced two distinct characters in the first season of the Star Wars: Visions anthology series: Haru in the episode The Village Bride and Lop in the episode Lop & Ochō. Her other anime dubbing credits include the role of a young Tristan in the two-part film The Seven Deadly Sins: Grudge of Edinburgh and Sato in the series Le Pavillon des hommes (Ōoku: The Inner Chambers). She has also lent her voice to various other animated series, such as Glendale in Centaurworld and Andra in Les Maîtres de l'univers: Révélation.

Beyond dubbing, Calixte's background is in musical theater and live performance. Before her voice acting career took off, she performed in shows at Disneyland Paris and as a backing vocalist for singer Laurent Voulzy. She has also appeared in French adaptations of musicals like Fame, La Belle et la Bête, and Hairspray. Her musical talents are frequently utilized in her dubbing roles, for which she often performs the singing parts of her characters, as seen with Vaiana and for the character Tikki in the Miraculous, le film. Her achievements include being the French voice for two different Disney princesses, Vaiana and Ariel, and releasing an album of Disney songs titled Cerise chante Disney.
