Peppa Pig voices: Who is the voice of Peppa Pig?

WHAT AGE IS PEPPA PIG?

Peppa Pig is currently on its sixth season, which is airing on Channel 5 now.

Speaking to the BBC, Bird previously explained that she was too young to read the scripts properly and used to copy what the crew said to her.

She said: “I can’t really remember much because I was tiny, and I went to an audition for it.

“And they listened to my voice and I sound like a pig, a four-year-old pig.

“I couldn’t read at all and it’s a little bit difficult when you’ve got a five-year-old who’s meant to be reading scripts.”

Now that Bird is in her late teens, she has to put on a higher pitched voice to sound like the infamous Pig.

Speaking on This Morning in 2017, Bird said: “I’ve done Peppa for 11 years now. I understand the character, how she speaks and how she would do things.

“I have to change voices…I have managed to keep it the same throughout… you have to act through it.“

For her role as voicing Peppa, Bird won a BAFTA Award for Best Performer and has the youngest person ever to receive the award.

She was also nominated for the Most Promising Newcomer at the British Independent Film Awards in 2013.

Since then, Bird has pursued a career in acting, previously starring in one episode of Doctor Who in 2014 and the award-winning short film Blueberry.
