Outside the film industry, the term dubbing most commonly refers to the replacement of the voices of the actors shown on the screen with those of different performers speaking another language, which is called revoicing in the film industry. OriginseditIn the past, dubbing was practiced primarily in musicals when the actor had an unsatisfactory singing voice. Today, dubbing enables the screening of audiovisual material to a mass audience in countries where viewers do not speak the same language as the performers in the original production. Films, videos, and sometimes video games are often dubbed into the local language of a foreign market.

ADR can also be recorded without showing the actor the image they must match, but by having them listen to the performance, since some actors believe that watching themselves act can degrade subsequent performances. Sometimes, a different actor than the original actor on set is used during ADR.
