For a long time it was believed that good animated series in Russia have not been removed for a long time. The last masterpieces were filmed in the USSR "Cheburashka", "Three from Prostokvashino", "Well, wait a minute!" and others. But here on the television screens appeared a little funny Russian girl Masha, who is friends, of course, with Medved and constantly pranks. Now it is difficult to find a person, adult or child who does not know the funny phrases of this cute joker. But in whose voice does the main character of the animated series "Masha and the Bear" speak? Voiced by a small voiced mischievous prankster Alina Kukushkina, whose biography will be considered in this article.
Where did she come from
For the first time, Masha was voiced by six-year-old Alina Kukushkina. Her biography in the future became increasingly saturated, but the girl still remembers that first shooting of her.
The people working on the creation of the animated series decided to call all their friends, relatives and colleagues with a proposal to bring their children to an audition, in which they chose the voice for the main character.
When the search began for the girl who would voice Masha, the phone rang at Irina Kukushkina, a well-known advertiser in Moscow. Studio workers were interested in her daughter. However, at first, mother, although interested in the proposal, did not attach special importance to the project. Irina did not even imagine that he would grow to such a scale. Little Alina said just a few phrases into the microphone. Soon, studio workers surprised mother and daughter, telling them that it was Alina who would voice Masha.
Alina Kukushkina: biography, parents
Alina Ilyinichna Kukushkina is now 12 years old. She lives in the Orekhovo-Borisovo South region. The young actress was born in Moscow in 2002. Alina celebrates her birthday on December 10.
Her mother's name is Irina Kukushkina, she is a very famous advertiser in Moscow. She always wanted only the best for her daughter, tried to keep her busy with something interesting, taught her a lot. Irina believes that Alina, of course, was very lucky in that her voice is now known to almost every resident of Russia and other countries. However, mom is sure that the creators of the animated series should also be proud that they had to deal with Alina exactly.
Diligence and excellent academic performance
The girl is very hardworking, has an excellent hearing, which allows her to catch and convey the desired intonation without errors. Thanks to this quality of Alina, many scenes are recorded almost from one take. There is another feature that differs from many young artists Alina Kukushkina. The biography of the girl does not include information about a variety of assistants. Alina almost immediately began working directly with the director. This nuance also positively affects the shooting speed.
Now the girl continues to study at school and is an excellent student, although quite often she has to take time off from classes to go to a rehearsal or recording. Alina Kukushkina’s classmates did not even realize for the first year that it was her animated Masha who spoke in her voice. Neither mother nor daughter wanted to advertise this fact.
In the future, the girl wants to act in films, become an actress. Who knows, maybe in a few years a new movie star Alina Kukushkina will appear on television. The photos of the girl are already familiar to many, and it should be noted that she has a very pleasant appearance. And she has enough talent, the main thing is to keep it.
Work in the animated series "Masha and the Bear"
Alina very well remembers her first record. The girl was invited to the studio, in front of her was a large screen, and on it - fragments of the cartoon. Tasks from the director were received by Elena Chernova, who worked on scoring. She explained to Alina what and how to say what kind of intonation she should have, etc. For the first time it was a little difficult, but today it’s already very easy to shoot the next episode of the cartoon “Masha and the Bear”. Alina Kukushkina copes with the task in half an hour, although even professional artists such speed is not always on the shoulder.
Other jobs
The little resident of Moscow has become a real star. She constantly receives invitations to perform at concerts or competitions in the role of honorary Masha, she is offered to become the host of various shows. However, the girl considers her main duty to come to the studio at least once every two months in order to voice the next series of the cartoon, which continues to gain popularity.
But Alina has two more works that she is proud of. In 2010, the girl was offered to voice Agnes, the character of the animated film Despicable Me. The second working - a new animated series about Masha "Tale Machine". By the way, if in the animated film "Masha and the Bear" sound engineers and directors control not just Alina’s every word, but her every breath, not letting her step away from the script one iota, then in Masha’s Tales she was given some freedom to improvise.
Afterword
Here she is - a young starlet Alina Kukushkina. The biography of the girl is not yet known to everyone, the facts from her life are not on display. However, now you know that this is a very hardworking, sincere, open child who loves to learn and play. Of course, she cannot be called a simple schoolgirl. After all, even the amount of her fees is from seven to ten thousand rubles for one series of the cartoon. The same amount of ordinary speaker. However, Alina still remains a cheerful child who does not think to be conceited.
