http://www.jbistudios.com/dubbing/ | Dubbing allows foreign territories to experience movies and other media in the local language performed by local actors. There are different types of dubbing styles depending on the media in question and each requires the use of technical sound equipment and experienced editors. The art of dubbing is best left to a post-production house with experience in casting and working with local talent and translators.

2. Dubbing is the post-production
process of recording and
replacing voices on media such
as movies,TV shows, or
interviews.The voices of the
actors shown on the screen are
replaced by those of different
actors who translate the original
audio into a different language.

3. Dubbing localizes material
to a foreign market using a
voice artist or voice actor.
The actors who record
often aren’t famous and
generally remain unknown,
with few exceptions. In
some cases, actors develop
a fan base when they
continuously dub the same
characters or actors.

4. After a movie is wrapped and moves
to post-production, it is time to
localize.Translators who reside in-
territory create a translation, which is
then conformed so the words fit
better with the actor’s lip movements.
Next, voice-over actors are cast with
sensitivity to matching characteristics
of the original actor’s voice to
maintain the original integrity.

5. In one method of recording, actors read
from a script while watching the video
and wait for a beep to indicate that
their line is coming up.Another
technique is "rythmo band" where the
movie plays and lines of dialogue scroll
across the bottom of the screen,
stretching and compressing in different
places, indicating how to time words
with the character's mouth.

6. To finish the process, once the foreign actors' voices
are recorded, sound editors fine tune the foreign lip-
synched. Sound mixers then blend the dialogue with
the M&E so that everything syncs perfectly.

7. UN-StyleVoice-Over is a style typically
seen in interview footage and every time
speakers/actors are on-screen when lip
sync would be too costly and the original
voice needs to be heard. In this style, the
speaker is heard in his or her native
tongue.Then, after a few seconds, their
audio level drops and an voice-over talent
begins narrating with the translation.
Since the original native language is still
audible, the authenticity is experienced by
the viewer.

8. Lip Sync Dubbing replaces
the original dialogue with
translated audio.The original
audio track cannot be heard,
and when watching the
movie, it appears as if the
actor was originally speaking
the translated language.

9. InVoice Replacement, the foreign voice is
timed to start and end with the original
voice, but it is not frame accurate.
Additionally, the translations are not
synchronized with the on-screen actor’s
lip movements.This type of dubbing is
commonly used for corporate, eLearning,
and informational videos.
