Adak Azdasht

Description
Adak Azdasht is an Iranian-German voice actress known for her work in dubbing foreign-language films, series, and video games into German. Born in Berlin in 1989, she began working as a voice actor from childhood and is fluent in German, English, and Persian. Her vocal qualities, often described as a youthful, childlike timbre, have made her a frequent choice for dubbing characters typically between the ages of 12 and 20.

Azdasht is perhaps best recognized for providing the German voice for the character Setsuko in the acclaimed Studio Ghibli anime film Grave of the Fireflies (Die letzten Glühwürmchen). In the 2002 German dubbed version of the film, she voiced the young girl Setsuko, a role that required conveying significant emotional depth and hardship. Her performance is part of the German adaptation that features Gerrit Schmidt-Foß as her older brother, Seita. This role remains one of her most prominent in the anime genre.

Beyond this iconic part, her voice work in animation and video games includes the character Lena in both Der kleine Eisbär (2001) and its sequel Der kleine Eisbär 2 – Die geheimnisvolle Insel (2005), as well as Shanti in the German version of The Jungle Book 2 (Das Dschungelbuch 2). In the video game realm, she voiced the character Kairi in the German adaptations of the popular Kingdom Hearts series, including the first game in 2002 and its sequel Kingdom Hearts II in 2006.

While her work in anime includes this notable role, the majority of her extensive dubbing credits are for live-action films and television series. These include voicing young Elizabeth Swann (played by Lucinda Dryzek) in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (Fluch der Karibik), Violet Baudelaire (Emily Browning) in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (Lemony Snicket – Rätselhafte Ereignisse), and Diana Gordon (Makenzie Vega) in the horror film Saw. In television, her roles have included voicing Effy Stonem (Kaya Scodelario) in the British teen drama Skins and various characters in series like Malcolm in the Middle (Malcolm mittendrin) and Ghost Whisperer.

Information regarding specific recurring collaborations with directors or other voice actors is not readily available in the provided sources. Her notable achievement lies in her extensive body of work as a voice actor since childhood, bringing a wide array of international characters to German-speaking audiences.
