Italian & French Dub Audit
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m wrapping up the Italian and French dubs for a Turkish drama series and need a sharp-eyed reviewer to make sure every scene lands perfectly with both audiences. You’ll watch each episode in its final mixed form and flag anything that breaks immersion, from mistranslations to lip-sync slips or a cultural reference that doesn’t feel right.
What I need from you
– Fluency in both Italian and French so you can judge dialogue as a native speaker.
– A proven ear for dubbing: you instinctively hear when a line is one frame late or when an actor’s tone drifts from the original intent.
– Sensitivity to cultural nuance; the show leans heavily on emotional beats common in Turkish drama, so any adaptation must resonate naturally with French and Italian viewers.
Core focus areas
1. Translation accuracy: wording must preserve plot, tone and subtext.
2. Lip-sync & timing: voices should feel glued to the performers’ lips; breathing and pauses must match.
3. Cultural appropriateness: no idioms or references that jar the target audience.
4. Voice acting performance: flag flat deliveries or miscast voices that undercut a scene’s impact.
Deliverables
• A time-coded report for each episode detailing issues and suggested fixes.
• Immediate feedback on any critical errors so the studio can patch them without delay.
Timeline
Expect 5 episodes a week for the next 3-4 months.
If this sounds like your domain, let me know your availability and a brief outline of similar dubbing QC work you’ve handled.
