About Voice Dubbing
Voice Dubbing is the reproduction of voice by imitating the manner of the character speaking and
reproduction of mannerisms, gestures, characteristics and idiosyncrasies of the concerned person
in the form of voice. Voice Dubbing is also done for non lip sync situations as background voice
or narrations.
When and why is a voice dubbing required? Speaking in terms of live character
based dubbings, technically, no doubt a dubbed voice is more strong in terms of voice quality, it
also cuts out the ambience or original non-required sounds. Secondly, through voice dubbing, you have
an option to improve the strength of the character in a film/programme. Sometimes the diction/accent
of the original character does not sound good, similarly inexperienced performers or characters can
be improved upon at least in the audio part. Animation-based programmes which are totally based on
dubbings, need voices which suit the character and also is likeable to children.
I feel Voice Dubbings and Mimicry needs more than 100% of talent, hard work and timing to perform.
In the case of mimicry, your audience should know the subject you are performing upon and you have
to be original with the source and sometimes new in content to provide wholesome entertainment. The
most concerning matter for mimicry artists like me have been receiving the recognition of
their art because most have spent decades perfecting their skills not only just in mimicking but also creating
lines that have people in splits. Any attempts by the state to remove human stress through this art
are no doubt laudable but still more has to be done in creating new talent and provide training by opening
specialized institutes and render special awards in the field of Voice Dubbings and Mimicry.
