In 2021, Jacob Tremblay starred in Pixar's "Luca," voicing the titular role. The went on to voice a character in Netflix's "My Father's Dragon," as well as Robin in three episodes of "Harley Quinn." Then, in 2023, he voiced Flounder in "The Little Mermaid," which marked a new era for Tremblay's career.
The actor learned a lot from working on "My Father's Dragon," which he recorded at the age of 13. "I learned how to really elevate my voice," he told Discussing Film. "Because in live-action, you can actually be there in person and in costume and that really helps you get into character. But for animation, you don't really have that."
As Tremblay explained, he didn't exactly mean to become a voice actor — instead, it happened naturally as a result of COVID. "Obviously during COVID, the whole animation process, it's pretty easy to be able to slip into the recording studio and just record," he said. Whether he intended to go into voice acting or not, he's clearly very good at it!
