ABSTRACT
ADR is automated dialogue replacement. It’s a part of the sound design. ADR is not dubbing voices into another language. ADR is done in the original language. ADR also includes new dialogue that’s added in postproduction crowd scenes where the audience don’t actually see the individual characters talking. Specifics may be specific conversations in a crowd or other lines assigned by the group leader to singles, pairs, etc. These are usually cued to a certain place in the time code. Postproduction executive Gary Hall casts by the type of project that is in post. Some projects require as many females as males; some may require all males. Six to twelve actors are usually used, depending on the project and the budget. The associate producer of a television series usually lets the loop group leader run the session. The director of a movie or television pilot may direct the session himself.
