Natali

Lifted from the cast of *Inside Out*

What she does when she's not acting. Seriously. She was only cast because if it's a Disney movie, the main character sings. Except when she doesn't.

**Natali** (Натали) is the VA portraying Riley's Joy in the Russian dub of *Inside Out*. However, outside of this, she has no other acting roles and is primarily known as a singer; this role, too, has not gone unnoticed in *Inside Out* parodies.

## In real life

*Main article: Natali (singer) on Wikipedia*

*“Это мой первый опыт... и я очень рада, уже теперь как Радость... что Дисней пригласил меня озвучить анимационный фильм... (This is my first experience... and I am very happy, much like Joy if you will... that Disney invited me to dub an animated movie...)”*
―Natali in real life
Natali was first noticed by the public eye in 1990, when she was cast for a role in a Soviet movie about life in her hometown, Dzerzhinsk, in the 1960s. However, since then, she has developed as a singer instead, occasionally winning awards and, later on, making public appearances. She has no dubbing experience prior to being cast for *Inside Out*.

## In parodies

*“It all just serves to prove... that Joy, while being happy, also has a dark side... and is not to be messed with...”*
―Natali in parodies
Natali, alongside the other VAs portraying the main characters of *Inside Out* in Riley Andersen's mind, appears in Andersen's Mind - Trailer 2: Behind the Scenes. She mostly comments about her own character being a dictator. Notably, in the video, she is the only VA not to praise *Andersen's Mind* or CreativityTheEmotion.

A comment on Joy plans for a movie night at the Pizza Planet Discord by the video's creator, previously having commented on the conflation of roles of Disgust and her VA Kseniya Sobchak, has Joy sing "О Боже, какой мужчина! *O Bozhe, kakoy muzhchina!*", as a reference to this being a song of Natali's.

## Trivia

* According to Spotify, Natali is CreativityTheEmotion's favorite artist for 2018.
