00:00You know that I have to be careful, every morning I get up slowly from bed,
00:04that if I do it too fast...
00:06An icon of Italian dubbing.
00:08From Nemo to Spider-Man.
00:10Alex Polidori, among the most charming voices of Italian cinema,
00:14is 29 years old and already has a career in the world of dubbing,
00:18started 25 years ago.
00:21The characters to whom he lent his voice are many,
00:24but the one who brought him closer to the audience is only one.
00:28Spider-Man has changed my life a bit,
00:30in some way, at least professionally,
00:32because it allowed me to get closer to people,
00:35especially to children, families,
00:38and also to go to a lot of events,
00:41these fairs, the nerd theme,
00:44where many are fans of that world, of superheroes.
00:48So, surely these characters,
00:51like Spider-Man,
00:54that bring you closer to the audience,
00:57from the darkness of the room,
00:59they bring you a little outside
01:01and make you create a connection with people,
01:03are the ones that bring you closer to the heart,
01:05because you see the affection of people,
01:07who are affectionate to the character,
01:09also thanks to your voice.
01:11It is the Italian voice of Bob Dylan in Accomplita Noon,
01:14the biopic about the singer-songwriter,
01:16played by Timothée Chalamet,
01:18actor to whom Alex Polidori
01:20lent his voice in most of his films.
01:24Chalamet has often played quite similar roles,
01:28for a while,
01:30because his great personality then emerged,
01:34always a little magnetic, a little cryptic,
01:37not too much above the lines.
01:39So, as long as it was like that,
01:41it was quite simple,
01:43because more or less he did the same thing,
01:46but they put him to play roles
01:48always very suitable for him,
01:50his way of using the face,
01:52the expressions, the eyes.
01:54Then he started to play some more roles,
01:57already on Dune he is very cryptic,
02:00but there is also the action,
02:02he becomes almost a leader,
02:04so there are the most shouted parts,
02:06of leadership,
02:08so already there it was a different thing.
02:10Then Wonka, instead, is a little more candid,
02:12a little more above the lines,
02:14always with his elegance,
02:16but where there are different facets,
02:18everything has to be much more positive,
02:20much more cheerful,
02:22a little crazy,
02:24but in a positive way,
02:26a little eclectic.
02:28And then Bob Dylan,
02:30which is all much more subdued,
02:33always very closed to himself,
02:36few words,
02:38with his mouth almost closed.
02:42So it would be easier
02:44to differentiate
02:46with different actors,
02:48instead with the same actor
02:50you are used to put your voice
02:52on that face in a certain way,
02:54when you have to change a lot,
02:56it's not easy,
02:58then you do it because
03:00actually someone thinks
03:02that dubbing good actors
03:04is very complicated,
03:06and it is,
03:08because you have to be at the level
03:10to follow, because the interpretations
03:12are so on fire that you know
03:14what you have to do.
03:16A solid career as an actor,
03:18dubber and singer-songwriter,
03:20active in the world of the show
03:22from an early age,
03:24when he was noticed by Mike Bongiorno
03:26in the broadcast Bravo Bravissimo,
03:28a child prodigy.
03:30I was a bit of a troublemaker,
03:32they said the ballet,
03:34in fact I entered with my legs stretched
03:36during the presentations of the competitors
03:38and I wanted to tell the jokes,
03:40there was Mike on stage
03:42who had to treat me badly,
03:44I had to say,
03:46but who are you,
03:48why do you interrupt me,
03:50can I tell you a joke?
03:52It was very funny,
03:54and the nice thing is that
03:56then he kept us out
03:58behind the scenes
04:00to specify that he did not want
04:02to treat me badly,
04:04because on stage he was also
04:06always giving a tone,
04:08that was very nice,
04:10and with Frassica,
04:12instead,
04:14as if he were an uncle,
04:16a television dad,
04:18because anyway,
04:20when I was 4-5 years old
04:22he brought me on TV,
04:24on Sundays a lot of broadcasts,
04:26up to 16 years old,
04:28he accompanied me throughout my childhood
04:30and above all he brought me
04:32to do a Sanremo,
04:34I can say I've been to Sanremo,
04:36not as a singer yet,
04:38I hope one day!
