Description

PAS20: Voice Actor (VI Level EQF)

The dubber is an actor who, rather than acting with his entire body (voice, body, posture, gaze, expression) lends his voice in a scene to the service of the original actor of the shot.

His work is fundamental to maximize the creative intensity and the performance original in all languages, so that the television program, film or commercial can be screened and broadcast all over the world. The voice actor can also work in the capacity of Speaker.

The voice actor's activity takes place in three fundamental moments, very distinct from each other.

– pre-production phase in which the material is prepared, the dialogues and the work plan are developed and adapted for the definition of budgeting and casting.
– production phase in which the dubbing of the various portions of the film takes place.
– post production phase in which synchronization, mixing, transcription on the film and final checks are taken care of.

Where he works

  • Material Preparation: Read and study the dialogues and the script to prepare for dubbing.
