What is the name of the actress who voiced Snow White in the 1937 film?

The actress who voiced Snow White in the 1937 film was Adriana Caselotti.

Caselotti was an American singer and actress whose father worked as a vocal coach in Los Angeles. Disney’s casting director contacted him while searching for voices, and Caselotti overheard the conversation and recommended herself. Walt Disney ultimately chose her after auditioning many performers.

She recorded Snow White’s dialogue and songs during sessions beginning in 1936. Caselotti was paid $20 per recording day, receiving $970 in total, and was not credited in the original film. Thelma Hubbard supplied some screams, but Caselotti remains the character’s principal speaking and singing voice.

A common mix-up is confusing Caselotti with later Snow White performers from television, dubbed versions, or theme-park productions. Caselotti was named a Disney Legend in 1994, decades after the film’s release, and died in 1997.
