Actors are contacting Wim Pel Productions to audition as the Dutch voices of Bert and Ernie, voice director Rutger Le Poole told JOE’s De Coen & Sander Show. His comments, reported by Nieuws.nl, follow Paul Haenen’s announcement last week that he is stopping his dubbing work. [1]
Le Poole said he wants performers who can act through the voices and convey the characters’ warmth and friendship, rather than simply imitate a sound. He does not want copies of the voices performed by Haenen and Wim T. Schippers for 50 years. [1]
Le Poole expects audiences to need time to get used to whoever takes over. During the radio show, he invited presenter Sander Lantinga to audition; Lantinga called it an honour. [1]
