How home recording stormed the dubbing industry

作者

摘要

The audiovisual industry has undergone a transformative shift with the rise of home recording and cloud dubbing, challenging traditional dubbing norms. This transformation is fuelled by technological advancements that make recording accessible and affordable worldwide. Moreover, this transition was further accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns. This article examines the impact of online audiovisual translation and voice localization agencies and provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of dubbing technology, from analogue to digital recording. It emphasises the irruption of online voice talents and the advantages of remote recording and cloud-based dubbing software, which facilitate collaboration regardless of location. In addition, this article showcases effective translations in audiovisual productions achieved through these cutting-edge technologies.
