Dubbing
Dubbing is a post-production process of synchronizing new localized sounds over the original ones in a movie or video; it is a multi-sided process blending the expertise of linguists and sound engineering specialists. Though some businesses choose to reach globally through subtitling, most audiences prefer to hear it in their native language to have a full uninterrupted experience. Dubbing services include Timed Audio, UN Voice Over, Phrase-Sync, Lip-Sync and others.
How does it work?
To ensure the quality of the dubbing services, a dubbing company shall provide the service as follows:
Gathering Files
The assigned team gathers and organizes all dubbing files (script) and makes it ready in the original language. This step ensures the availability and readiness of the source package and media materials, which the whole work will be built upon.
Script Translation
Native translators and linguists start working on the script to transfer it into the target language as perfect as the original is; they apply any needed changes to make it culturally and nationally appealing to the audience.
Actors Casting
Actors are selected according to the requirements gathered from the client and the recommendations of the dubbing company; such as using a certain sound, voice type, gender of performers, age range, etc.
Recording Script
This is the most sensitive, precise and technical step. The recording shall be done in a fully equipped recording studio with the presence of the voice talent, linguists, vocal coaches and a director to manage the whole process and match the lip-sync as perfectly as possible.
Dub Mixing
The last stage of the process is the layering of the recorded translated tracks. This step is entirely technical, where editors and sound experts manage mixing the dub with the original video so the result is an original video in a new language.
