Find About Frozen's Elsa Childhood, Teen & Adult Voice Actors From This Report

Did you know there's not a single balloon in the entire kingdom of Arendelle (the main setting for the Frozen franchise)?

They used to have a huge collection, then they Let It Go.

Okay, okay... that was a really bad joke, and I apologize.

You can't tell bad jokes like that around Olaf.

He might have a meltdown...

Sorry, sorry... I just can't help myself sometimes.

Now this one's not a joke, did you know the main character of Frozen, Elsa, is voiced by not one, not two, but three different voice actors?

While many aspects of animated movies have become computerized in recent years, the voice acting is one component that still relies entirely on human input. The latest blog from Voices, the world’s largest voice acting marketplace, examines how the Frozen franchise required several voice actors to bring the character Elsa to life, and make Frozen the highest-grossing animated film to date.

The blog explains that long before the voice actors got involved, film producers faced several hurdles when trying to adapt the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, “The Snow Queen,” into an animated film. These problems were finally resolved by making some minor changes to the storyline, which caused major changes to the character of Elsa.

When the search began for a voice actor, the casting directors had to find a voice that could portray not a sympathetic villain, as in the original fairy tale, but a nuanced character struggling to overcome unexpected and potentially dangerous powers. The voice actor they needed had to be capable of playing several roles with the same character, as Elsa developed from an accidental villain into an eventual hero, the report explains.

Throughout the franchise, several voice actors were needed to fill the role. The authors highlight that for scenes with Elsa as a child, voice actor Eva Belle filled the role, with Spencer Ganus for scenes of Elsa as a teenager.

The most iconic voice examined in the report, Idina Menzel, was a surprise to the film executives as she did not audition for the role. Known for her role in the film and Broadway hit musical, Rent, Menzel was suggested by the casting director, and auditioned for the part by special request.

Menzel’s powerful voice and wide range of emotion helped “Let It Go,” a ballad performed by Elsa in the original movie, to achieve instant fame. The blog explains how Menzel’s performance won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, and lists some of the most memorable quotes from the Frozen franchise.

Voices is a marketplace that connects voice actors with marketing professionals, film producers, translation experts, and more. The service currently has more than 2 million members around the world.

One last thing - did you know that, unlike the voice actors, Elsa has never seen a doctor about a sore throat and cough?

Because a cold never bothered her anyway.
