Description
Marta Tamarit Martorell is a Spanish voice actress born in Madrid who has built a prolific career in dubbing since the early 1980s. She is the daughter of fellow voice actress Marta Martorell, placing her within a family dedicated to the profession. Tamarit entered the world of dubbing through work as a production assistant on the film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, a role that led to her being encouraged to pursue acting professionally. She studied at the Madrid theatre institute while also pursuing business studies, ultimately dedicating herself to voice acting.
Tamarit works actively in both Spanish and Catalan, providing voices for a wide range of media including animation, live-action film and television, and commercial voiceovers. She has become particularly well-known as the regular Spanish dubbing voice for several major Hollywood actresses, including Meg Ryan, Jodie Foster, Melanie Griffith, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Among her extensive film work, she has cited her dubbing of Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail as particularly significant roles.
Within the realm of animation and genre productions, Tamarit has contributed her voice to a number of notable projects, including several anime titles that were dubbed for the Spanish market. Her credits from the 1980s include the role of Jelna Flarestar in the 1985 science fiction OVA Cosmo Police Justy. She also voiced Clarissa MacDougal in the Lensman anime adaptation. In the space opera series Space Pirate Captain Harlock, she provided the voice for the character Yuki. Her work also extended to the films Andromeda Stories, where she played Queen Liliya in 1984, and the controversial Urotsukidōji franchise, in which she voiced the character Akemi Ito.
