ADR (Automatic Dialogue Replacement)

ADR, or Automatic Dialogue Replacement, is a post-production process in filmmaking where actors re-record or replace their original dialogue in a controlled studio environment. This is done to improve audio quality, synchronize speech with on-screen actions, or replace unwanted sounds like background noise. The actors watch the filmed scenes and mimic their original performances, matching their words and expressions to the visuals. ADR ensures clear, consistent sound, enhancing the overall quality of the film or TV show without altering the performance's emotional impact.
