The voice actors were recorded in the Manglemoose studio, which is within walking distance of the archive. Besides the sound, we also made video recordings of the voice actors so that Colorbleed could reproduce the facial expressions as realistically as possible. The voice actors who interpret the historical characters are: Sander de Heer, Hadass Pelter and Rogier van Schoonderwoerd den Bezemer. If you ever find yourself in the city centre of Utrecht, step inside the archive to experience this unique animation show.
