RIP Salvador Arias

The pioneering voice actor and teacher of actors Salvador Arias died November 22, 2010 at the age of 92. His life was an example of passion, tireless work and commitment both to his profession and his principles. In his youth, his love of literature led him to the Residencia de Estudiantes, where he befriended members Generazione of 27. He was part of the Alliance of Antifascist Intellectuals and the Guerrillas del Teatro, directed by Rafael Alberti and María Teresa León, who discovered his true vocation, interpretation, and he began working in theater. After the war, Franco's obligation to translate and dub films into Spanish led to the development of an industry in which Salvador has developed his craft with absolute mastery. He voiced thousands of characters and directed the dubbing of hundreds of historical films such as Citizen Kane (for which he develope a relationship of friendship and mutual admiration with Orson Welles), and directed the studies Arcofón. Later he founded his own school in which they trained generations of voice actors, which today are now teachers, instructing mainly interpretation ("A an actor cannot be voiced without you yourself being a good actor" preached Salvador), but also in humanism, passion and commitment.

  2. His death coincided, more or less, with that of Antonio Gómez de Vicente, whose voice was heard in numerous Balcázar dubs.
