Voice Dubbing
Voice dubbing is a post-production process of replacing audio in a project with the same dialogue, but in a different language. If you require your content to be accessible to audiences who speak a different language to the original recording, voice dubbing is your solution for a seamless switch to a local dialect. Voice dubbing is an art – there are techniques to ensure voice dubbing is as unnoticeable and as natural-sounding as possible.

How the Dubbing Process Works
First, assets are sent to the engineer from the original recordings. The original audio and video assets that we receive from you provides the foundation for us to create accurate and seamless dubbing for your project.
Our audio engineers meticulously set up the recording environment to acoustically match the original sound. If a clean, studio-quality dubbing is preferred for your project, we can also set up the recording environment in a completely neutral setting. The voiceover actors are chosen based on your brief, preference, and ability to accurately deliver a performance that fits every aspect of the original vocal delivery.
The recording of the voice dubbing is completed by the voice artists, who record to the picture to make sure their performance is synchronised with the original actor’s lip movements and expressions.
After the best, final takes are edited, they are processed and delivered to you as a timed WAV file ready for integration into the original picture.

Voice Dubbing FAQs
When it comes to voice dubbing, you may have questions about how our process works and what is achievable. We’ve detailed the most common questions when it comes to voice dubbing, answering the most frequent concerns.
What’s the difference between dubbing and voiceover?
Dubbing is when a voice artist dubs the voices of actors in a film, TV show or other forms of media. Voice overs are different – there’s no dialogue present in sections that require it, and it’s usually recorded after the visuals have been created, using a script that is timed to the content.
With dubbing, the original dialogue is already in the content. When you provide us with your assets, we remove the original audio tracks and replace them with the new dub. Voice dubbing isn’t a voiceover, it’s taking advantage of skilled voice artists to portray emotion and impact through chosen localisation for your content to be viewed by international audiences.
How long does the dubbing process take?
There’s no specific answer, with the duration of the dubbing process being decided by a combination of many different factors.
The main aspect is the type of content. Feature films are going to naturally take longer to dub than commercials. You also have the complexity of the dub – how long it takes for the translated script to be completed, voice actor casting, recording time and the difficulty of precise synchronisation and emotional matching, which all takes time.
The language of the dub could also play a part. Some languages are more difficult to translate to match the original visuals, which could influence the duration of the process.
What does it mean to dub your voice?
Dubbing is the replacement of the dialogue and audio from a project. It can be done with the same actors if the initial recording sound was poor, however is more commonly required when you want your project in different languages and dialects for a wider range of audiences.
The process of dubbing is more complex than simple translation. Whilst the audio needs to sound pristine, it needs to match the visuals to ensure that the dubbing is hardly noticeable. The key to a quality voice dubbing service is the seamless application, making sure the translation of the dialogue is accurate, sounds as the original intended and is also designed to be applied to the visuals to present an unnoticeable illusion to the ears and eyes.
How to make dubbing sound good?
To make dubbing sound perfect, it starts with the script. Translating and adapting the source material needs to take the spirit of the original script into consideration, creating a translation that maintains the same meaning, intentions and plot.
Good dubbing is also spearheaded by the voiceover talent to record the dubs. We have a catalogue of world-leading, talented voiceover artists that will be able to fulfil your brief, performing dubbing that conveys the emotion and impact of the original recording.
The implementation of dubbing tracks also counts towards the quality of voice dubbing. After you have sent us your assets from the original recording, our professional sound engineers meticulously place the new dubbing tracks to preserve the original audio, making the new version sound identical to the original.
Ensuring that lip movements, tone and context all aligns perfectly to the original recording, our precise approach to voice dubbing helps to preserve the quality of the original, whilst applying cultural adaptation to readjust the cultural context for the new target audience.
Why should I invest in voice dubbing?
Making your content accessible to a larger audience allows the possibility of global expansion. Choosing to add multilingual voice dubbing to films, television shows and advertisements unlocks possibilities for increased international understanding of your content without having to outlay a large cost every time you need a reshoot in a different language.
Voice dubbing is preferred in some countries to subtitles. For places that you wish to distribute your content in, it’s important that you understand if voice dubbing or subtitles will be more appreciated and well-accepted by viewers.
Voice dubbing is also a great method to increase inclusivity for international audiences. For those who may struggle to read, and certainly at a fast pace, voice dubbing allows a better understanding of the content. This creates better engagement for audiences that include young children, older adults or below-native speakers to enjoy and understand the content.
