''Dubbing is the process of adding voices to an audio track''
'''Dubbing''' is the process of adding [[voice]]s to an audio track. It is commonly used in the [[film]] and [[television]] industries to make the characters speak English in a foreign film. This can be done as an alternative to [[subtitle]]s, since many viewers find reading text to be more distracting than the dissonance of a voice not matching the movement of a person's lips.
Dubbing is usually serious, though it can have intended or unintended comic effects, such as in [[Hong Kong]] action movies (cf. [[Jackie Chan]]). Dubbing can also be used for [[parody]], replacing the actual spoken words with other ones.
