Emanuela Rossi
Description
Emanuela Rossi is an acclaimed Italian voice actress, born in Rome on January 24, 1959, who has become one of the most prominent and versatile voices in Italian dubbing. Coming from a family deeply rooted in the dubbing profession, she is the sister of voice actors Massimo and Riccardo Rossi and cousin to Fabio and Laura Boccanera. Her career began in childhood, with one of her earliest and most beloved roles being the voice of the title character in the Swedish television series Pippi Longstocking in 1970. As a young actress, she was also frequently tasked with voicing male characters, such as the child actor Renato Cestiè in numerous Italian films of the 1970s and the kitten Bizet in Disney's The Aristocats.
While Rossi is perhaps best known for her extensive and celebrated work dubbing A-list Hollywood actresses—she is the official Italian voice of Emma Thompson and Michelle Pfeiffer and has regularly dubbed the likes of Robin Wright, Cate Blanchett, Kim Basinger, and Carrie-Anne Moss —her contributions to the world of anime and animation are also significant and long-standing. In Western animation, she is recognized as the voice of the villainous Dèmona in the series Gargoyles. Her work in Japanese animation, or anime, includes the role of Madame Blanche in the film Silk and the Queen of Enland in Tales from Earthsea.
Rossi is particularly associated with the mecha anime franchise Kotetsu Jeeg. She provided the Italian voice for the character Miwa Uzuki, also known as Micchi, in the original 1970s series Kotetsu Jeeg. Decades later, she reprised her connection to the franchise by voicing Miwa Tamashiro, who is the same character in the sequel series Kotetsushin Jeeg. The provided search results do not confirm any voice role for a series titled Nagagutsu Sanjūshi.
Throughout her prolific career, Rossi has been recognized for her exceptional talent, winning the prestigious Leggio d'oro award for Female Voice of the Year in July 2006. In addition to voice acting, she is also an accomplished actress for film, television, and theatre, as well as a dialogue writer and dubbing director. She is married to fellow renowned voice actor Francesco Pannofino, with whom she has a son, Andrea, who has also followed in the family tradition as an actor and voice actor.
