Professional Film Dubbing Services

Film dubbing is not a new thing but it is becoming ever more popular and accessible in the modern film industry. The act of dubbing refers to the altering of a film's dialogue, reworking, and re-recording the content for a different language. The goal is to seamlessly integrate the new recording into the movie - matching lip flapping motions as much as possible. 

Many film dubbing services can falter at marrying lip timings with competent translation. This is why Voquent are the go-to in film dubbing, as we use native professionals from around the world to perfectly match timings with absolute precision to linguistic differences between countries. 

A film dubbing project can be done in a variety of ways, depending on the strictness of the specifications. It may be that a professional voice artist needs to sync-to-camera, which involves the actor recording their performance in synchronisation with the speech of the screen actor. This will take multiple takes to get perfect, as the speaker aims to precisely replicate the mouth flaps onscreen and alter dialogue to ensure the translated content matches the timing. 

Other times, time restrictions and dialogue is enough, which will then be reimplemented onto the audio track in the editing stage. 

Short films are similar to any other feature in film dubbing processes. In fact, the majority of big-budget blockbusters use dialogue replacement for almost all speech. So it's not unusual to replace speech with VO later in production - film dubbing just requires the replacement speech to be from another language. Typically, syncing speech to a camera during recording is the way to go. Many organisations lack the ability to pull off decent film dubbing, fortunately, Voquent are experts in all things spoken.
