Magda Giner

Giner began her career in cinema, theater, and television in the 1960s, working alongside prominent Mexican actors such as Fernando Luján and Enrique Rocha. She stepped away from on-screen acting due to the industry climate of the era, eventually pivoting full-time to dubbing a move that would define the rest of her career. Her first notable dubbing breakthrough came with the series Hunter, El Cazador, where she voiced actress Darlanne Fluegel’s character.

Signature Roles

Giner’s voice is closely associated with several iconic characters across animation and film. Her most recognized animated role is Zim in Invader Zim (and its film Enter the Florpus), as well as Kokoro and Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom) in One Piece. She has also lent her voice to Cologne in Ranma ½ and has played recurring roles across the Pokémon franchise, including Professor Magnolia in Pokémon Journeys and Bertha in the Diamond and Pearl series.

Film Dubbing

Her film dubbing catalog is remarkably broad. She voiced Agatha Trunchbull in Matilda, the Oracle in The Matrix, Professor McGonagall in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and Mama Corleone in The Godfather (2004 dub). On the live-action celebrity side, she has been the established Latin American Spanish voice of Judi Dench as M in the James Bond films, Sally Field as Aunt May in the Spider-Man trilogy, and Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady.
