Voice Dubbing

What Exactly Is Voice Dubbing?

Voice dubbing is where a client wants their content translated in a foreign language but instead of through written subtitles, they desire an actual spoken audio track. The process of voice dubbing is infinitely more time-consuming and difficult than it may appear. On average it takes one hour of recording studio time for five minutes of narration (UN-style voice-over) and even more if you want professional lip-sync dubbing. The new audio is recorded by a professional voice actor who not only is fluent in the foreign language but can deliver it with expert rhythm and timing to match the original audio as close as possible. Once the new audio is recorded, it then takes time to clean up the voice track and equalize audio levels, etc.

What Are the Different Types of Voice Dubbing?

UN-Style Voice-Over


Lip-Sync Dubbing

You have probably seen this when watching old kung fu movies where the original Chinese dialogue has been replaced with English or any other language. You cannot hear the original audio track and the new voice-over is made to look as if the actor was originally speaking that language.
