Live and act
Kutbay started dubbing as a schoolchild. In Turkish versions of American films, for example, he was the Turkish dubbing voice of Jackie Cooper . Kutbay remained loyal to dubbing even after training as a journalist, after which he worked as a press correspondent and broadcaster. In addition, Kutbay played roles in the state theater. After working for the Turkish program on Radio Cairo in Egypt for a year , the journalist came to Munich on a trip to Europe in the 1960s , where he lived and worked.
Since Kutbay did not have a good command of the German language, he took over sound synchronization for films in Germany, soon also for world-famous films such as Das Boot (1981) and Der Name der Rose (1986).
In 1986, Kutbay founded the first sound studio in Munich, which was specially designed for sound recording for film. His company Meloton dubbed numerous other German and foreign film productions, but occasionally also audio books.
The filmography in the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) includes 128 titles for Mel Kutbay for the period 1970 to 2008, in which he was primarily responsible as a noise maker.
