Voice actors

Bai Jingting is a leading figure among younger, top-tier Chinese actors who champion using their own voice, particularly in modern dramas. His clear, naturally conversational, and slightly nasal vocal delivery has become a signature part of his brand, deeply appreciated by fans. He consistently uses his own voice in contemporary and genre roles, such as the high-stakes thriller "Reset" (2022), the romantic drama "You Are My Hero" (2021), the historical comedy "New Life Begins" (2022), and the sports film "Ping Pong (The Surrounding)" (2021).

However, for major historical epics, he is typically dubbed by the renowned voice actor Zhang Jie (阿杰)— not the famous singer. Zhang Jie, often called the "Voice Emperor," is famed for his clear, handsome, and emotionally nuanced vocal quality, specializing in elegant, intellectual, or internally conflicted characters. His definitive collaboration with Bai is the 2018 drama "The Rise of Phoenixes" (also titled 凰权·弈天下), and he is also slated to dub Bai in the upcoming "The Journey of Chong Zi."

Zhang Jie is the default voice for many A-list actors in costume dramas. His iconic roles include dubbing Yang Yang in works like "The Glory of Tang Dynasty," Wallace Chung in "Princess Agents," Lan Wangji in "The Untamed," and Xiao Zhan in "The Wolf" and as Mo Yuan in "Eternal Love." For his earlier or lesser-known works, Bai may have been dubbed by other voice actors, but Zhang Jie remains his primary and most prominent voice double for period roles, creating a clear distinction between Bai's modern authenticity and classical vocal stylization.

Zhang Linghe is part of a new generation of actors who are actively working on their vocal skills to self-dub their roles, which is highly respected in the Chinese industry. His most notable self-dubbed works include:

• 《Story of Kunning Palace》| 宁安如梦 (2023): This is his most significant and praised self-dubbed performance to date. He used his own voice for the complex character of Xie Wei, demonstrating clear improvement in his vocal control, emotional delivery, and ability to convey subtle nuances.

• A Journey to Love  * The Legend of Shen Li

• 《Immortality》 (Unreleased): The highly anticipated drama was dubbed by the renowned voice actor Bian Jiang This is significant as Bian Jiang is considered the industry's top "voice emperor."

• Love Between Fairy and Devil (2022): His breakout role as the immortal Changheng Xianjun was voiced by the excellent voice actor Lü Yanjtang

• Maiden Holmes | 少女大人 (2020): His debut drama was likely dubbed by a voice actor, which is standard practice for newcomers.

• My Journey to You aired in September 2023, which was after he had already self-dubbed A Journey to Love (filmed earlier) and was working on dubbing Story of Kunning Palace (which aired Nov 2023).

  This indicates that the choice to use a voice actor for My Journey to You was likely a project-specific decision by the director/production team, rather than a reflection of Zhang Linghe's own ability at the time. It shows that even as he was advancing his self-dubbing skills, major productions with distinctive stylistic demands might still opt for professional voice artists.

  In summary: For My Journey to You, Zhang Linghe collaborated with voice actor Yin Sheng,

Xu Kai, like many actors in the Xianxia/Wuxia genre, initially relied on voice actors for his roles but has been actively transitioning to self-dubbing in recent years, particularly in modern dramas. His notable self-dubbed works include Falling Into Your Smile and Once We Get Married, where his natural vocal style suits contemporary settings.

For his iconic costume drama roles, professional dubbing remains prominent. Key voice actors include Zhang Jie for Story of Yanxi Palace and Arsenal Military Academy, Zhang Fuzheng for Ancient Love Poetry, Su Shangqing for The Blue Whisper, and Jin Xian for Snow Eagle Lord. Most of his other historical dramas also feature professional dubbing.

Among these collaborations, Xu Kai’s partnership with Zhang Jie (阿杰) of 729 Voice Studio stands out as one of the most recognizable in recent Chinese drama history. Zhang Jie has lent his voice to multiple Xu Kai roles, including Story of Yanxi Palace, The Legends (partially), Arsenal Military Academy, and Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain. His vocal style—youthful, bright, and emotionally agile—perfectly complements Xu Kai’s on-screen persona, capturing both playful charm and deep emotional arcs. This pairing has become so iconic that fans often say, "Zhang Jie’s voice is Xu Kai’s soul," cementing a powerful audio-visual brand in audiences’ minds.
