Description
Colette Sodoyez is a Belgian actress and voice artist who has been active in the French dubbing industry for over thirty years.

She discovered dubbing while a student at the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles, where a professor who worked in the field invited her to observe a studio session. At the time, dubbing was not a primary focus in theatrical training, but she pursued it alongside her stage career, eventually becoming the regular French voice for numerous international actresses. She is notably the French voice of Cate Blanchett, Renée Zellweger, Sharon Stone, and Patricia Arquette. Beyond film dubbing, her voice work extends to animated series and video games.

Within the animation genre, Sodoyez has portrayed a variety of characters. In the Pokemon franchise, she provided the voice for Grace, the mother of the protagonist Serena, in the Pokemon XY series. Her other anime roles include Ameyuri Ringo in Naruto Shippuden, Diane Thurston, Mischa, and Nirvasch in Eureka Seven, for which she also served as a dubbing director. She voiced Daphne in Winx Club and the characters Ana Spanacopita in BoJack Horseman. In children's animation, she is widely recognized as the voice of the narrator and Franklin's mother in the series Franklin.

In addition to her extensive voice work, Sodoyez remains active in theater, improvisation, and live-action television and film productions. She has also expressed concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence on the voice-acting profession, advocating for legislation to protect human performers.
