Abstract

Audiovisual productions are spaces where common sense, cultural representations, and social imaginaries are constructed and contested. Voice acting, as a central component of these productions, is not a neutral practice—it carries sociopolitical and cultural implications and impacts various social dimensions, including collective understandings of gender. However, most of the literature on voice acting has focused almost exclusively on its technical aspects. This article aims to critically reflect on the implications of vocal construction and interpretation processes in the portrayal of non-binary characters within audiovisual productions. To this end, it reviews a range of studies on social representations of non-binarism in animated audiovisual media, as well as research on the voices of non-binary people. Finally, the article proposes a critical approach to voice acting that can guide the development of sensitive creative and interpretive work. This approach includes an understanding of the social implications of voice within audiovisual media, its role in the distribution of power, the rejection of stereotypes as a starting point, a rethinking of casting and categorization systems, the pursuit of critical representativity, and the importance of training and positive contact.
