What is Lip-Sync?
Lip-sync is the process of creating a new script for a video, voicing it with different voice artists, then matching this new audio with the mouth’s movements of characters in the video. Lip-sync is a creative process which gives viewers a sense of authentic and immersive watching experience.
Lip-synced videos are a great choice if you want to appeal to more groups of international audiences, especially small children and those who can not read subtitles.
The differences between Lip-sync and Voice Replacement
| criteria | Script Translation | Script Adaptation |
|---|---|---|
| Speaker dialogue | The original audio of a lip-synced video is muted while the whole script is re-written and voiced to sync to the lip movements of the speakers | The original dialogues are also muted and replaced by their translation in a foreign language without matching the speakers’ mouth movements. |
| Features | Lip-sync gives viewers an immersive experience as voice artists capture:
| In voice replacement, only dialogues are replaced with audio in a new language while sounds like giggle, cough, and laugh are mostly removed. |
| When to use? | Lip-sync should be used in movies, films or songs aiming to give viewers a seamless and immersive view experience. | Voice-over provides viewers with pretty good viewing experience at a cheaper price, suitable for tight-budget projects. |

We allocate your project to the most suitable copywriter, voice talents and technicians who will research the given video content before working on it.
3Native check and rewrite your script
Our experienced native copywriters will check and rewrite the transcript to make the final version perfect for your video in terms of duration, reading speech, and style. This step also makes it easier for voice talents to lip sync.
