The Dubbing and Localization Process for the Italian Market
Entering the competitive Italian market demands the highest artistic and technical quality. Dubbing is not a simple “audio translator,” but the complete and credible recreation of your work for our audience.
1. What Dubbing Is and Why It’s Crucial
Dubbing is the process of replacing the original voices with Italian actors. To be effective, it requires high specialization and is composed of several interconnected steps:
- Translation: Transferring the pure meaning from the original into Italian.
- Adaptation: The critical phase where the translated text is rewritten to fit the original actors’ lip-sync perfectly while maintaining the emotional tone and narrative intent.
- Artistic Direction: Guiding the voice actors in the studio to ensure the Italian performance meets the standards and respects the original directorial intentions.
- Recording and Mix: Recording the voices and their final mixing with all other audio tracks.
2. Localization: Going Beyond Translation
Localization is the complete adaptation of the work for the Italian cultural and technical context. It goes far beyond dubbing itself:
- Cultural Adaptation: Rewriting or replacing references, jokes, or puns that, if translated literally, would be incomprehensible, offensive, or inappropriate for the Italian audience.
- Technical Requirements (Deliverables): Ensuring that all files (video, subtitles, metadata) comply with Italian distribution standards (VOD platforms, TV, cinema).
- M&E (Music & Effects): Localization requires managing the clean Music and Effects audio track, isolated from the original dialogue, so that the Italian dubbing can be inserted without interference.
3. Strategic Management of Music and Soundtrack
Audio post-production is a key element of our service, especially concerning music. The need to create or re-record music is often tied to legal and financial strategic decisions.
- The Copyright Issue: When acquiring a film for a new territory, the synchronization rights (the right to pair the music with the images) must be secured for that market. Often, well-known music or popular songs in the original film come with prohibitive costs or are limited by complex, territorial licensing agreements.
- Recreation as a Strategy: For budget-conscious projects (like short films), the most rational solution is often to commission a new Original Soundtrack (OST) from a local composer.
- Advantage: By recreating the music, you eliminate the exorbitant costs of major music royalties and gain complete control over the synchronization rights for Italian distribution, turning a potential legal and financial obstacle into a creative asset.
Our Workflow (Operational Steps)
To guarantee timely delivery and impeccable quality, our process follows a rigorous sequence:
- Preliminary Analysis: Review of the original script and assessment of technical requirements and music rights.
- Preparation: Creation of the M&E (or foley/sound design if M&E is unavailable) and Dialogue Adaptation.
- Voice Casting: Selection and engagement of professional Italian voice actors. (To ensure the highest artistic quality, we suggest initiating this phase well in advance).
- Recording: Studio sessions under artistic direction.
- Final Mix: Mixing the dubbed voices, the soundtrack (original or recreated), and sound effects into the required final delivery format.
- Delivery: Submission of all final deliverables ready for Italian distribution.
