What does Language Dubbing mean?
Language Dubbing refers to the process of replacing the original dialogue in a film or television show with new dialogue in a different language, while maintaining synchronization with the actors’ lip movements. This is done to make the content accessible to international audiences who speak different languages. Dubbing is often used for animated films, foreign language movies, and international TV shows. Voice actors are hired to perform the dubbing, ensuring that the tone, emotion, and timing of the original performance are preserved as much as possible.
Example:A popular American animated film is dubbed into French, with voice actors recording the dialogue to match the characters’ lip movements.
Example: A Korean drama is dubbed into English to reach a broader audience on a global streaming platform, allowing viewers who don’t speak Korean to enjoy the show.
