If you have already fallen in love with his velvety, deep voice (you may have heard him on Turkish TV, speaking characters like Ben Affleck, Russell Crowe, Robert Downey JR, Michael Duncan, and Jason Statham), here is your chance to meet the face behind the voice.

Kaan KIRAN is an up and coming young actor, who had a life-long passion for the art, starting from his childhood.  Following his career as a football player and working in the hospitality industry, he eventually became a voice actor, in addition to hosting sports programs on the radio.  Since 2010, he has done voice overs for reputable production companies and blockbuster productions.  Now he is determined to further his career by entering the world of acting.

Born in 1988, Kaan is a cool and even keeled optimist, who believes in doing his best to optimize any given situation.  He is not apologetic about his passion for success.  He says: "Under normal conditions, I will be successful in my career. Under unfavorable conditions, I will again be successful in my career."

He intends to use his talents, looks and voice to become a great actor, if not the best. 

He says: "If I succeed in that, that means I'm a special person.  And that sounds pretty good to my ear :) "

He adds:

"Visual appeal is very important in the world of acting, where I want to be at the forefront.  It is my pleasure to be able to live and share this experience with Pamira's energy."

I hope you enjoy the images I made of Kaan at my Bebek, Istanbul studio.  I am confident that he will have a bright career ahead of him, and I am excited that my portraits will get to represent him along the way on his journey.

Good luck, Kaan, it was a pleasure meeting you and working with you!

Below is the Turkish summary of the story for my Turkish readers.

Hikayenin Turkce Ozeti:

Istanbul'daki studyomda sevgili Kaan KIRAN ile cok keyifli bir cekim yaptik.  Cocuklugundan beri oyuculuğa ve seslendirmeye çok ilgisi oldugunu soyleyen Kaan, 7-8 yıl futbol oynadıktan ve 1-2 yıl kadar süren otelcilik tecrübesinden sonra sürekli kalbinde olan kamera ve mikrofona yonlenmeye karar vermis.

2010 senesinden beri seslendirme sanatcisi olan Kaan, radyoda spor programlari sunmanin yanisira, 5 yıldır Türkiye'nin önemli stüdyolarında seslendirme yapıyor.  Pekcok filmde hayallerinizi susleyen aktorlerin o akillarda kalan sesi kimin mi?  Kaan'in :)

Ben Affleck, Russell Crowe, Robert Downey JR, Michael Duncan, Jason Statham...  Hepsi Kaan!

Bu guzel sesin arkasindaki guzel yuzle de artik tanisma vaktimiz geldi.  Kaan KIRAN bundan boyle sadece dublaj sanatcisi degil, ayni zamanda da aktor olarak karsimiza cikmaya hazirlaniyor.

Kendini soğukkanlı, gözlemci ve temkinli biri olarak tanimlayan Kaan, profesyonel hayatla ilgili tutkusunda ciddi.

"Ben daima pozitif bir insanım.  Yaptığım iş ne olursa olsun elimden gelenin en iyisini yapmaya, durumu olumlu yönde geliştirmeye çalışırım. Einstein’ın dediği gibi iyi ya da kötü vardır buna inanırım, iş hayatında da başarıya ulaşanlar ve ulaşamayanlar olarak nitelendiririrm. Normal şartlarda çok iyi bir kariyere sahip olacağım, anormal şartlarda da yine bu kariyere sahip olacağım."

Hedefi Türkiye’nin en iyi aktörlerinden biri -- belki de en iyisi -- olmak.

"En iyisi olduğumda ‘özel biri’ olurum. Bu da kulağa çok hoş geliyor." diyor.

"Son olarak; profesyonel olarak ön planda yer almak istediğim bu Oyunculuk Dünya'sında görsellik çok önemli. Bu tecrübeyi Pamira'nın enerjisiyle yaşamak ve paylaşmak beni çok mutlu etti. :) "

Benim icin de Kaan'la tanismak ve beraber calisma firsati bulmak cok buyuk keyif oldu.  Sevgili Kaan'a kariyerindeki bu yeni yolculukta benim cektigim fotograflarin eslik edecek olmasi, bu portrelerin onu temsil edecek olmasi beni de bir o kadar heyecanlandiriyor.

Yolun acik olsun, Kaan'cim, hayalindeki gibi isil isil bir yol olsun umarim...
