Muhammad Saffuri is a Palestinian talent who shines in Virginia between dubbing and filmmaking
When a video of the famous animated film “Pinky and Brian” with the voice of the Palestinian young man Muhammad Safouri spread on social media, Muhammad did not know that the video would receive such an echo of admiration and encouragement on his YouTube channel.
Without any theoretical study or knowledge of the foundations of voiceover, Muhammad found himself able to imitate voices (dubbing) and control the tone of his voice so that he could imitate any voice he wanted... only to discover that his talent had become a hobby that people loved, and they found in it enough entertainment and creativity to be “ Muhammad is one of the distinguished in this field.
From the series “Pinky and Brian”, to “Detective Conan”, “Maruko” and “The Laughers”, Muhammad - who lives in the US state of Virginia - caught the attention with his talent, in which the voice alone is the hero and expressor of the character.
Muhammad says, “I did not discover my ability in dubbing early, but rather it came late, about two years ago, because I grew up in an environment in which we all can imitate voices.”
“Mohamed,” who excelled in his secondary studies, everyone around him expected him to go to study medicine, but he was far from this field. Since his childhood, he had loved “filmmaking.” And here was the challenge, as he began studying filmmaking in “ George Mason University in Virginia, despite people's disappointing comments that this field is not suitable for us as Muslims..
Muhammad adds, “As long as we still have these strange ideas, and we only look at the future of our children to see them as engineers and doctors... we will never develop in other areas of life, especially the media, which is our only means of liberation from the occupation, which is controlled by those who stole our land.”
With the Palestinian people’s need to make films, especially documentaries, as they convey the image of Palestine abroad, and with the weakness of Palestinian production in the field of these films, it was necessary for Palestinian youth to rely on themselves in producing films and conveying the lofty message to the Palestinian people.
