Dubbing career

Most TV channels do not mention the Hindi dubbing credits nor its staff after the end of a foreign program's original ending credits, since changing the credits casting for the original actors or voice actors involves a huge budget on modifying. That is perhaps why encounters such as the one Toshi Sinha had one time, is considered precious. Toshi Sinha has dubbed for Raven-Symoné's role as a perky teenage girl Raven Lydia Baxter, in the Disney Channel live-action sitcom series That's So Raven. Her role relates how the teller in a bank, a young girl, heard her voice, and told Toshi Sinha that it reminded her of Raven. "When I told her it was me, she literally started jumping and screeching," as Sinha said, who enjoyed the momentary attention but at the same time felt a tad guilty for holding up the queue. But in other case, she is considered to be the official Hindi dubbing artist for Raven-Symoné, since she can sound exactly like her. She did mention that it was also simple to impersonate Raven's body language as she says that she is a lot like her - "FULL OF ENERGY", via personality perspective.

Largely, while dubbing for famous characters with an established brand value, artists are asked to stick to imitation rather than innovation.^[3] She even dubbed for foreign content that'd go on Discovery Channel, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Pogo, Nickelodeon and UTV.
