Stephanie Beatriz: Mirabel of 'Encanto' reminds me of myself at her age

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, Dec 23 (IANS) For actor Stephanie Beatriz, who has lent her voice to Mirabel Madrigal - the lead character of 'Encanto' - the portrayal came naturally as she could relate to Mirabel having lived the experiences similar to the character. ## This allowed her to revisit old places in her subconscious and sketch up a voice performance that blends seamlessly with the visuals. ## Commenting on the same, Stephanie said, "Mirabel reminds me of myself at her age -headstrong yet unsure, full of wonder and imagination but sometimes held back by self-doubt. She's funny, awkward and brave. She's also very much a classic Disney heroine, and yet she's a new iteration of that classic. Plus the glasses!" ## In addition to Stephanie, other artistes too have voiced the characters, the names include Tony Award-winning actor John Leguizamo co-starring as Bruno Madrigal, Diane Guerrero voicing the character of Jane and Maria Cecilia Botero as Abuela Alma Madrigal. ## The animated musical fantasy comedy will start streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from December 24. ## For more and the latest news about Hollywood, stay tuned to us.
