• 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.

• Dubbing localizes material to a foreign market
  using a voice artist or voice actor. The actors
  who record often arent 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.

• 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 actors lip movements. Next,
  voice-over actors are cast with sensitivity to
  matching characteristics of the original actors
  voice to maintain the original integrity.

• 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.

• 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 ME so that everything syncs
  perfectly.

• UN-Style Voice-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.

• 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.

• In Voice 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 actors lip movements. This type of
  dubbing is commonly used for corporate,
  eLearning, and informational videos.
