Dubbing actors
Among the guests of this convention are dubbing actors. Like Dorothée Pousséo, French voice of Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad) or Elsa Pataky (Fast and Furious), but also animated characters like Adamaï in Wakfu or Horace in kid paddle board.

They share their experience with these anime or series fans, and can also talk to them about the production! »
