The Deutsche Synchronkartei is an online database of voice actors in film and television productions.
[2] The Deutsche Synchronkartei is an ad-supported online database in which (international) actors and their German-speaking voice actors are listed, and – if known – the responsible dubbing company, the responsible dialogue director and the dialogue book author are named.
According to developer Martin Schowanek, "This happened mainly because we have repeatedly received booking requests for voice actors, which we could not fulfill in the past, since we are not an agency ourselves.
In addition, there are newspaper articles, radio play cassettes and TV appearances of speakers (yes, that really happened once...)"[6] as well as information provided by members of the Synchron-forum, in which Schowanek is also a very active member and regularly gives information about his database.
[7] Many of the entries now come from the voice actors themselves, who send their daily call sheets to the operators.
[citation needed] Furthermore, there is a mobile app that allows users to search the database on an Android smartphone.
Numerous entertainment websites, such as Moviepilot and IGN,[10] as well as anime news portals, refer to them.
