If you have watched funny and interesting cartoons such as: The Migratory Duck House, The Moon Thief, you will surely be impressed by the emotional voices for each character in the movie, which is Thao Ngo.

The people who bring sound and emotion to the main cartoon characters are the voice actors. They are people who do not appear in public, nor do they care about fame outside showbiz, quietly taking on the behind-the-scenes dubbing to "breathe" each character.

Thao Ngo is one such person. She is only behind the scenes of filmmaking, but she can fully convey all kinds of emotions, clearly expressing the character's personality with just lines.

For me, each role leaves its own impressions and challenges. For example, the role of 'Bong's mother' in the movie Migratory Duck House, I have to play the voice of a mother, very gentle and smooth (acting according to the voice of the actor in the original) and this is a very different type of voice from my natural voice, so much so that when I go to the theater to watch a movie, I was surprised that I couldn't play such a voice.

The role of 'Patsy' in the movie Moon Thief is a very high tone and 'cake' while I am quite personal. When I was in the studio, every time I finished recording a line, both me and the director laughed because I heard Thao Ngo so different" - Thao Ngo shared about the 2 roles she used to voice in the film.

Thao Ngo also shared: "It can be said that the biggest challenge for me when dubbing roles with different personalities is to keep the character's psychology throughout the recording, keeping the right tone from beginning to end."

Thao Ngo has only entered the dubbing path for the film about 1 year ago. Before that, she started working as a voice in the field of advertising recording, in a short time she also contributed her voice to quite a lot of advertising TVCs for domestic and foreign customers with the ability to speak both Southern and Northern accents. recording instructions during Vietnam Airlines flights.

The fate of Thao Ngo's film dubbing career came from a dubbing course. "I have been working in advertising recording for 2 months and I want to take a course to officially 'have a leg in the profession'. And true to the saying 'the profession of choosing people', during the learning process, I was lucky to 'catch the eye' of the instructor and was assigned by the teacher to play the role of the first voice actor in a Netflix movie. At that time, I had not even finished the course and the role was also the beginning of my journey as a voice actor," - Thao Ngo confided.

Despite being an actor who "acts with her voice", many people still recognize Thao Ngo every time she raises her voice. "Did you voice the Moon Thief? I love Patsy's voice so much, the melody is flowing but it sounds extremely catchy."

Thao Ngo shared, she herself is a person who often "shows off", so every time there is a new product, she notifies everyone through social media channels.

"I see nothing wrong, nothing to be ashamed of when 'showing off' like that. If you have the ability but are not known by many people, you have to "show off". When the amount of information every day is too large and the number of new talents is also extremely large, if the audience doesn't know you, 'show off' so that they know you better, as long as you don't play dirty PR tricks. This is no longer an era where we can sit still and wait for others to know us" - Thao Ngo.

It is also thanks to the behind-the-scenes clips of voiceovers shared on social networks that Thao Ngo is known to more people. That also opens up many other interesting opportunities for her. Recently, Thao Ngo was invited to be a Voice Coach in a program exclusively for KOCs to help them improve their voice and intonation for sales livestream work.

Talking about film dubbing work, Thao Ngo shared, you must first have a good voice. "Good" is not necessarily "beautiful" because movies have to be real and in real life, not everyone has a beautiful voice. As long as your voice is the same color as the original actor's voice (for dubbed movies) or matches the character (if dubbed from the original language), you have a chance.

"Good" here is to pronounce correctly according to the required accent, know the technique of taking breath so that the voice has force when necessary, and know how to speak with appropriate emotions. If the above elements are not available, you can take voice training courses. As for movie dubbing, you need to learn a voice acting skills course. This is essential and you can hardly learn on your own. It is a combination of skills that you must apply at the same time when standing in the studio, you must have time to practice with experienced teachers to be able to instill and master it.

Secondly, to be called a voice actor, of course, you must know how to "act" and dare to do something different. If you're too concerned about what other people will think of you when you're in the studio, it's going to be a huge hurdle.

For example, you are a soft-spoken and polite person, but your role is a "brother and sister" who speaks roughly. To be able to take on that role, you have to be normal with saying things that you would never say on a daily basis. You have to consider this as just a job, not your real person, you need to understand that no one judges the quality of an actor through their role.

As for Thao Ngo, she is a voice actress but she can communicate fluently in English, can use relatively Italian and is learning more German. Foreign language skills also open up a lot of opportunities for Thao Ngo to contribute her voice. In addition to dubbing and recording in Vietnamese, she also received many invitations to record or host programs in English. Currently, she still aims to improve the other 2 languages to increase her opportunities.

"To be honest, the dubbing profession is not a profession that helps you become rich. This is also the advice I often tell straight to those who want to try their hand at the profession, after watching the clips I share.

Currently, my main source of income is from recording advertising for the bank and jobs related to producing content with my image. For the advertising recording segment, a person with a good voice and has some good products can earn 4-5 million/hour of recording, which is also the time to finish recording a TVC. As for the number of contracts you receive, it depends on the ability and luck of each person," Thao Ngo shared.

Besides dubbing work, Thao Ngo is also a content creator. Thao Ngo's personal page currently has more than 400 thousand followers and 7.6 million likes.
