Automated Dialogue Replacement in Films
Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) is the process of re-recording dialogue, during post-production, in synchronization with the picture. This technique is widely used in the film industry, and it is recognized as an industry standard. The actors, recording engineer, and the sound editor are the important people in re-recording the dialogue. The actors will recreate their performance to match it to the film, and the recording engineer will recreate acoustic spaces so that the dialogue will sound like it was recorded in the proper environment, and not in a recording studio. The sound editor will choose the best parts of multiple takes and combine them together to create the finished clip. The development of ADR was created during the 1930s when film studios were converting from silent to sound films. The two techniques that are used for recording dialogue are audio and visual looping. Looping is the process of watching a scene on repeat, while the actors re-do the audio in the scene. Both techniques are used to record different types of dialogue including human background audio.
