Mirabel (who has no powers)

Pepa and her husband Felix also have three children:

Dolores (who has super-hearing)
Camilo (who can shapeshift)

Who voices Mirabel?

Stephanie Beatriz voices Mirabel in Encanto with a powerful vocal performance spotlighting intergenerational trauma. Beatriz also drew attention to outsider syndrome by balancing emotional tones of determination with sadness. Director Byron Howard called the Mirabel voice actor the missing piece of the movie’s emotional keystone. So, authentic, well-balanced emotions can motivate an audience and prompt them to action in any project, whether that’s commercials, corporate videos, or YouTube ads.

Who voices Bruno?

John Leguizamo voices Bruno in Encanto by combining a light-hearted comedic tone with the depressed dejection his character experiences. As the Bruno voice actor, John Leguizamo captured Bruno’s nuances by drawing viewers away from his sinister ‘bad guy’ image and portraying him as he is, an eccentric uncle. And that’s the strength of a great voice actor. Utilizing enunciation and clarity through the power of their voice, they can accentuate character flaws, quirks, and nuances to create a multifaceted personality people understand and relate to.

Who voices Isabela?

Diane Guerroerro voices Isabela Madrigal in Encanto. Although Isabela comes across as the perfect golden child, in a plot twist, her character is also Mirabel’s key rival. So, as the Isabela voice actor, Diane had to balance the character’s sweet side while highlighting the concept of perfectionism. Guerrero infused her dialogue with humor, wit, and charm to balance the emotions Isabela showed her family with the negative feelings she kept hidden. Professional voice actors have emotional versatility that allows them to convey complex emotions through their voice, bringing animated characters to life.

Who voices Luisa?

Jessica Darrow voices Lusia, and she explained in an interview that she and Luisa are so similar it’s almost like they’re the same person. She claimed they were both funny, sarcastic, and solid on the outside while being big ol’ crybabies on the inside. So, by relating to the character, the Luisa voice actor could pour her personality into the role. The final element of excellent voice acting is connection and characterization. If a voice actor resonates with the on-screen character, they can infuse parts of their personality into the role and establish a genuine connection with viewers.

Who voices Alma Madrigal (Abuela) in Encanto?

María Cecilia Botero voices Alma Madrigal (Abuela) in Encanto. As the Alma Madrigal voice actor, María is one of the most beloved figures in Colombian entertainment. In an interview, María said her role involved using technique. Although she was restricted to just a voice behind a mic, she said it’s inevitable to move the body and make the faces that reflect the scene’s emotion so you can’t be flat with your voice. As the Abuela Madriga voice actor, Maria’s incredible talent led to her voicing her character in both the English and Spanish dub versions.
