Voice-overs
What is the difference between a voice-over and dubbing?
Short answer
A voice-over is spoken over the picture. In dubbing, a voice actor replaces the original dialogue, matched precisely to the lip movements.
A voice-over is spoken over the picture, without having to match lip movements. In dubbing, a voice actor replaces a character's original dialogue, matched precisely to the lip movements. You see this in animated films and foreign series. Dubbing therefore requires extra precision in timing and performance. With a voice-over, it is mainly about tone and story.
