voice dubbing

Replacing original speech

Voice dubbing is the process of replacing the original vocal track in a film, television show, or video with new audio—typically translating dialogue into another language.

The replacement voices are synchronized to match the lip movements and timing of the original performers.

The Italian voice dubbing of American films is famously high quality.

Dubbing also covers re-recording an actor's own lines for technical reasons.
