Rahul B Seth, the man behind compositions like the recently released Say no to war (lyrical composition), dons several hats. While the musician, who has worked on films like Baaghi, and Fan, considers himself “primarily a composer”, his resume as a dubbing artiste boasts of projects featuring actors like Will Smith, Aaron Eckhart, and Colin Farrell.

Seth, who lent his voice to Colin Farrell’s character (Penguin) in the recently released Batman, calls the art of dubbing synonymous to acting behind the mic. “My job is to learn [about] the actor I am dubbing for, and analyse his personality. Also, every actor has a different tone, and I need to sound like the actor does, off screen too. For instance, if I must dub for Will Smith, an actor [whose baritone] I am familiar with, my attitude has to be just like his, [regardless of the character I dub for].”
