Dubbing

What is dubbing?

Dubbing, mixing or re-recording, is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production in which additional language recordings are “mixed” with original production sound to create the finished soundtrack. So a movie shot in English has the English dialogue replaced with actors speaking in other languages.

Types of dubbing

Lip Sync

The original source audio is replaced with another language,  matched succinctly with the speaker’s mouth movement. The adaptor must find words that fit with the movements of the actors mouth while maintaining the meaning of the original script.

Lectoring

Lectoring is unique in that only one voice actor repeats all dialogue spoken and makes no effort in capturing tone, style, or other characterizations of the original content and focuses simply on repeating the dialogue as said.

Voiceover

Voiceover dubbing is used to add narration over the original content, regardless of  the speaker’s mouth movement. Voiceover is used predominantly for reality/lifestyle and unscripted content, documentaries, corporate and instructional videos.
