Course Overview

Practical ADR Experience, Each Week!

ADR / Dubbing 1 is instructed by professional voice directors, accompanied by an experienced audio engineer. Together they will run live simulations of ADR sessions, presenting various information throughout this course. This small class-sized course will have each student performing real ADR sessions each week.

ADR is a post-production process used in filmmaking and video production in which additional or supplementary recordings are synced and mixed with original production sound to create a finished product.

8 hours spanning 4 weeks with minimal theory and all practice, to get you familiar with ADR and character development for voice over. Understanding how ADR works from behind the scenes as well as in the booth is so important for in-studio and remote talent! You will get practical training at an introductory level with practice scripts, mic time, and guided step-by-step ADR processes.

After this course, you should feel more comfortable stepping into a booth, understanding and interpreting an ADR script, and feeling confident in creating character choices.

    This is a completely practical course in which each student will get mic time in each class, however it is not practical to attempt to practice self-directed ADR alone so no homework will be set for this course.
