Lisa’s character voicing includes a tonne of ADR/dubbing work, which is hardly surprising given the prestige of the film dubbing tradition in Italy.  Her titles include House of Gucci, Signora Volpe, Trust, The Man From UNCLE, The Eleventh Hour, Star Trek VII, Memphis Belle, Batman, Gremlins and Dreams.  She also has a number of game voicing credits, including Half Life 2 and Formula 1, and she’s voiced numerous animation characters such as Dizzy in Bob The Builder (Hit Entertainment / Talking Toys), Leona in Paddlepop Kombatei (Wall’s), Lucy in My Friend Boo (EcoAnimation), and Fraw Holle in Madama Holle (BBC).

Lisa is also highly experienced in home recording, having her own home studio and being Source Connect Certified – so unlike so many home-rec artists she’s not a Covid-lockdown-induced nube at this!

Lisa’s also had long-standing interest in directing, which started from her collaboration as assistant director for the renowned Mario Maldesi – this providing her first entry into ADR (on Dreams, by Akiro Kurosawa).  In this vein she’s assisted with talent vetting and language coaching, for example directing the Italian dubbed version of Jump (Manmade Films), and translating and subtitling lots of films, including Seabiscuit, The Recruit, Forrest Gump and Rosemary’s Baby.
