Any information as to how it's done is appreciated! |
In most cases, production audio (dialog) is only replaced when absolutely necessary. Usually they will try to keep as much of the performance from the shoot as possible. Some actors will not record ADR at all. This is why hiring the best possible production sound mixer and crew is so critical.
ADR is very tedious, expensive work and getting a great performance is even more difficult. Unfortunately they don't make it a priority to teach that to producers and directors, who generally learn the hard way by scrimping on production audio budgets to find they will have an inferior product by having to redo everything later.
