ADR

ADR and voice recording microphone for film and television

ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) is used when production dialogue can’t carry a line — because of noise, distance, performance pickups, story changes, or clarity requirements.

ADR support includes session prep, cueing workflows, recording coordination, editorial integration, and making the result feel seamless in the final mix. The goal is natural continuity: ADR should sound like it belongs in the scene.

When You Need ADR

  • Key lines are obscured by noise, distance, or overlapping action
  • Dialogue clarity is essential for story comprehension
  • You need pickups for story changes or performance refinement
  • Documentary or archival material needs targeted replacement or sweetening

How It Fits Into Post

ADR is planned alongside dialogue editorial and is integrated before or during the final mix. Good prep and clean editorial make ADR faster to record and easier to blend invisibly.
