Language & Expression
Dubbing
Our most popular holiday program, bringing famous animated characters to life through professional dubbing in a real recording studio
Dubbing combines vocal performance, character work and imagination. Students explore animation, film and a variety of character styles while developing vocal expression, pronunciation, timing, emotion and microphone technique.
Through practical dubbing exercises, students learn to match their voice to a character's personality, movement and emotion. They progress from recreating existing characters to developing their own vocal interpretations, building confidence and expressive performance skills.
Training takes place in a professional recording studio, giving students hands-on experience with scripts, microphones and real recording equipment. Students complete their own recorded dubbing pieces and experience the full process from rehearsal to final recording.
