Vladimir Antonik

The voice of the Russian dubbing master Vladimir Antonik is spoken by such world cinema stars as Antonio Banderas, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Richard Gere. The man is a professional actor and has starred in dozens of films, and the number of voiced projects is approaching a thousand. In addition to working on feature films and cartoons, Antonik is engaged in voice acting for computer games and reads offscreen texts in documentary films.

Vladimir Vladimirovich was born in 1953 in the Belarusian city of Slonim. Childhood dreams were associated with the romance of exploration expeditions, and after graduating from high school, the young man decided to enroll in a geologist. However, the guy failed the exams at the Dnepropetrovsk Mining Institute and decided to go to Moscow. The young man did not plan to be an actor, but the announcement of recruitment to VGIK, read in the newspaper, attracted his attention.

Vladimir was able to pass an impressive competition and become a student at Igor Talankin's workshop. The actor graduated from the university in 1973, by that time having already played in the film "Black Crackers". After graduation, Antonik returns to Belarus, where he works at the Belarusfilm studio.

In the serial film "The Last Summer of Childhood" based on the story by Anatoly Rybakov, Volodya plays one of the main roles. His character, Komsomol member Misha Polyakov, became the favorite hero of Soviet teenagers.

In his youth, the artist managed to serve in the army, and having paid his debt to his homeland, he moved to Moscow, where he entered the acting staff of the film studio. Gorky. Here he will get roles in dozens of films, including “Primordial Rus”, “Nabat”, “Courage”. The actor's filmography is constantly updated with new works, although the work of the dubbing master is gradually coming to the fore in his career.

In the late 1970s, Antonik first tried his hand at a new quality, taking on the voice acting of foreign films. Moreover, the man works both on the modern repertoire and on the classics of world cinema. His voice is spoken by Rhett Butler in the 1939 Oscar-winning film Gone with the Wind, as well as characters from Alfred Hitchcock's films.

Brutal characters who are played by courageous actors - Kevin Costner, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, who coincide with himself in psychophysics, become close to the artist. After all, the most important thing in voice acting, according to Antonik, is to become the person you see on the screen. This was the difficulty when dubbing Arnold Schwarzenegger - to feel the physical power of the hero and let it pass through himself.

The master also voiced the famous James Bond during the period when he was played by Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery (“Tomorrow Never Dies”, “Diamonds Are Forever”). In the epic space saga Star Wars, the most famous character Darth Vader speaks in the voice of Antonik. It is not uncommon for an artist to dub all male characters in one film. So, in “Soldier Jane”, “Pretty Woman”, “Blind Fury” Vladimir had to simultaneously “embody” dozens of faces.

To list the films a man worked on is a thankless task, since he had a hand in dozens of hundreds of blockbusters, including Lara Croft, The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix and Kill Bill. Samuel L. Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Liam Neeson, Sylvester Stallone often address the Russian audience in the voice of Antonik.

Moreover, the master is not jealous when “his” actors are voiced by someone else, and only rejoices in the successful work of his colleagues. But when show business stars are invited to dub, a man is upset, because he believes that real professionals should be engaged in business.

Many times the artist took on cartoons and animated series. His voice can be heard in "Shrek", "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "Black Cloak". Since 1997, the man undertook to voice computer games and has been doing this to this day. Russian gamers can get acquainted with the works of Antonik in The Witcher, Russian versions of Call of Duty, Resident Evil, Prince of Persia, StarCraft and dozens of other games.

Another direction in the work of Vladimir Vladimirovich was the reading of audiobooks. He performs military prose, humorous stories, Russian and world classics. The audience loved reading such works as “Three Comrades” by Erich Maria Remarque and “Silence” by Yuri Bondarev.

The artist does not like to talk about his personal life. In an interview, he prefers to talk not about the family, but about the peculiarities of the profession and work on interesting characters. Therefore, little is known about Antonik's wife and children. Son Eugene and daughter Anna have grown up long ago and live separately.

An important place in the life of the actor is occupied by his small homeland, several times a year he certainly goes to the Grodno region, visits his mother, spends time in nature. Fishing is Vladimir's favorite hobby. He is not one of those who like to sit in front of the TV in the evenings, he prefers to go to the dacha and tinker with his own hands.

The artist still continues to work in two roles - as a film actor and as a master of voice acting. He is engaged in dubbing foreign films, reading audio books, dubbing commercials and computer games. One of the last works in this area was the character of Bartholomew Cazares in the licensed football game FIFA 19. In 2019, the shooter Metro: Exodus was released, where Melnik speaks in Antonik's voice.
