Description
Claudia Marisol Motta Zepeda, known professionally as Claudia Motta, is a Mexican voice actress born on May 31, 1971, in Acapulco, Guerrero. She began her career in dubbing in the early 1990s and has since become a prominent figure in Latin American voice-over work, recognized for her versatile vocal range as a mezzo-soprano.
Motta's career encompasses a wide array of voice roles in animation, live-action dubbing, and commercials. In the realm of anime, she is known for her portrayal of Pandora in the television version of the series Saint Seiya: The Hades Chapter - Sanctuary, a role she reprised for its sequel, The Hades Chapter - Inferno. She is also recognized for lending her voice to the Digimon franchise. Motta voiced the character Cody Hida in the series Digimon Adventure 02. She later returned to the role for the 2020 film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna, providing the voice for an older Cody Hida in this feature that served as a conclusion to the Digimon Adventure storyline.
Beyond these roles, Motta's anime filmography is extensive and includes several other notable characters. She is the voice of Orihime Inoue in the long-running series Bleach and portrayed the cheerful witch Doremi Harukaze in Magical Doremi Sharp. Her other significant contributions include Merle in The Vision of Escaflowne, Syrus Truesdale (Shō Marufuji) in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu Tendo in the Beyblade: Metal Fusion saga, and the second voice of the robot girl Arale Norimaki in Dr. Slump 2.
While not a recurring collaboration with a specific anime director or studio, Motta's work often places her within the stable of voice actors frequently utilized by major dubbing studios in Mexico for prominent anime licenses. Her broader dubbing career is marked by her long-standing association with live-action actress Kirsten Dunst, for whom she has provided the standard Latin American Spanish voice in numerous films, including the Spider-Man trilogy, Mona Lisa Smile, and Marie Antoinette.
A notable achievement in her career is her tenure as the voice of Bart Simpson in the Latin American Spanish dub of The Simpsons. She took over the role from the ninth season and voiced the character until the fifteenth season, when she and other cast members left due to a labor dispute. This role brought her widespread recognition across Latin America. She later returned to the series, once again voicing Bart and other characters, demonstrating her enduring connection to one of television's most iconic roles.
