Prisca Demarez: A Deep Connection to Disney and Charismatic Performance Style

For Demarez, Disney represents more than a career; she describes it as a fundamental part of her childhood, capturing the spirit of youth and the joy of performing.

To enhance the audience experience, Demarez has prepared quiz questions and plans to engage attendees in performing some of Disney’s classic songs.

Musical Variety and Personal Insight: The Journey of Prisca Demarez

Demarez’s passion for music began early; at the age of six, she discovered her love for musicals when she first saw West Side Story. Later, at 13, she was moved to tears of joy when watching Les Misérables in London, an experience she considers transformative. Originally working as a psychomotor therapist, she later pursued her passion for singing and acting after musical training in Réunion and Paris. She studied acting with Raymond Acquaviva and continues to work with esteemed teachers who have helped her hone her vocal skills.

An Impressive Career as a Voice Actress

Demarez’s first steps into voice acting came with the musical Avenue Q, where she refined her craft in character singing. Claude Lombard, who discovered her on stage, introduced her to Disney World and recognized her potential as a “singer on call.” Since then, Demarez has voiced characters like Fawn from Pixie Hollow and Ruthless Ruth in Tangled: The Series. Her role as Queen Iduna in Frozen 2 was an especially emotional experience, which she shared with colleagues such as Charlotte Hervieux and Emmylou Homs during the recording at the studio.
