Jolanda Granato
Description
Jolanda Granato is an Italian voice actress, journalist, and radio host, born in Nocera Inferiore on March 15, 1975. Her career began in television and radio, with early work hosting sports programs for local stations from 1993 to 1995. She subsequently built a long and successful career in broadcasting, notably spending seventeen years at the Italian radio station RTL 102.5 from 1997 to 2014, where she hosted various programs and news segments. Alongside her broadcast work, she has been active as a speaker for numerous television channels, including serving as the official voice of the Playhouse Disney channel from 2005 to 2011 and for channels like Frisbee and Food Network Italia.
Granato is highly prolific in the field of dubbing, providing the Italian voice for a vast array of characters in animation, live-action series, and films. Her interest in voice acting began in childhood, inspired by the characters she saw in cartoons, and she pursued formal training in diction and acting. In animation, she is particularly renowned for her work in anime. She is the Italian voice of Ino Yamanaka in the long-running series Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Another significant role is Asuna Yuuki in the Sword Art Online franchise, including the Alicization arcs and the Progressive film series. Her extensive anime filmography also includes Chiriko Tsurumi in Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, Cow Girl in Goblin Slayer, Kagura in Gintama, and Myne in The Rising of the Shield Hero.
Beyond anime, Granato's voice is featured prominently in Western animation and live-action dubbing. She voices Lori and Lana Loud in the popular series The Loud House and its spinoff The Casagrandes. For live-action, she has dubbed actresses such as Kerry Condon as F.R.I.D.A.Y. in several Marvel Cinematic Universe films, Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret in The Crown, and Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner in Fuller House. In the video game world, she is known for voicing the protagonist Kassandra in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, a role she has described as particularly significant. Her other notable video game performances include Patricia Tannis in the Borderlands series, Elika in Prince of Persia, and the android Chloe in Detroit: Become Human.
Granato has shared insights into her craft, noting the distinct techniques required for dubbing different media. She has explained that dubbing film involves syncing performance to an actor's on-screen expressions, while video game dubbing often requires creating a performance from scratch with only audio cues and directorial guidance. She has also expressed a deep affection for voicing animated characters, citing the Japanese series Aggretsuko as a favorite due to its complex protagonist and contemporary themes.
