Ideally at this point, there will be time and money to do a full casting call. Most of the time, a couple of established voice actor names will spring to mind for at least a few of the roles. They note the gender, how old or young they sound, and anything else that they can think of that might help them cast the role. They write a casting break-down: a list of characters each with a few notes about them and what they sound like, and their general attitude and feel. When a new show is about to be dubbed, the person in charge of casting goes through whatever materials are available–either the show itself, or if it isn’t available yet, any and all promo material that’s been made at that point. According to Anime News Network 2, the casting process for a modern dub is as follows:
A similar technique is used in Hollywood to allow live-action actors to re-record lines. Not everyone agrees, however, particularly in the modern age when dubs are more faithful to the source material.Įnglish dubs of anime are made via a process known as automatic dialogue replacement, or “ADR.” 1 In ADR, the voice actor is placed in a recording booth, where they watch a clip from a show and record themselves acting out the script that goes with the clip.
People who hold the former view generally contend that watching a show in Japanese, even if it is subtitled, is a more authentic experience, that allows for more Japanese cultural resonances to reach the audience than watching the same show in English would be. Others would rather watch their anime dubbed into English, with an all-new English voice cast and crew delivering all the lines. For some anime fans, the only way to watch a Japanese anime is to watch it in the original Japanese, with subtitles for those who do not speak Japanese fluently. dubbing is arguably one of the most contentious in the anime community.
