Actor Joshua Garcia joins the cast of the Tagalog dub version of ‘Inside Out 2,’ bringing Lance Slashblade to life. The film is set to be released on the streaming platform Disney+ next week.
Originally voiced by Yong Yea, Lance Slashblade is a video game character who Riley (the movie’s teenage protagonist), secretly has a crush on.
A sequel to the 2015 hit, ‘Inside Out 2’ follows Riley as she navigates teenage life with new emotions.

This is also Joshua Garcia’s first time lending his voice to an animated film. He shared his experience at a media event held at Shangri-La the Fort in Taguig on Wednesday, September 18.
“Fan talaga ako ng animation at ng ‘Inside Out,’ kaya na-excite ako sa opportunity na ‘to. Akala ko nung una madali lang siya, pero hindi biro ‘yung experience kaya looking forward ako makita ‘yung final,” Joshua Garcia said.
He admitted facing challenges during his hour-long dubbing session. Acting in the animated film was different from his usual process.
“‘Yung character ko rito makata, ang lalim ng Tagalog, parang nasa play! Laki ng emosyon, doon ako na-challenge,” Garcia said.
“Alam ko na kung ano ‘yung binigay ko roon, mas subtle lang ‘yung acting so hindi malaki ‘yung mga ginagawa ko pero rito ang laki ng mga emosyon,” he added.

Later in the interview, Joshua Garcia also shared how he related to Lance Slashblade.
“Doon ako nakaka-relate an actor na nilu-look up ng maraming tao rin sa acting pero tulad ni Lance Slashblade, ano rin ako eh, ‘dapat ba akong i-look up’ parang nakakahiya pa rin for me,” the actor said.
“Ganoon din si Lance Slashblade, doon sa scene niya hindi rin siya sigurado kung bakit siya ‘yung pinili na favorite character eh hindi siya ganoon kalakas na character,” he continued.
Despite his challenges, Joshua Garcia is open to doing more voice dubbing projects. He even teased Disney Philippines representatives at the event.
