How is dubbing done for fight sequences?
How about dubbing for fight sequences? Do the actors dub for the fight sequences as well or is any other method used like using the original set audio along with the background music?
Best Answer
It can be done during post-production, as part of the Additional Dialogue Recording (ADR) process
Matthew Wood, from the Star Wars clip below, talks about how:
...the sounds [recorded on set] don't sound realistic. I mean obviously when they're fighting with those light Sabres it's the sound of a stick hitting, so you really hear a plastic or a wood hit, you know, and they might be walking on wood, so they're not on stone and all those sounds come through to the microphone and so when they're breathing, talking you get all these clicks and clacks.
So we have to go back [during post-production] and the actor has to recreate that energy again and hopefully you're getting performances that were better than they recorded on the set.
If you're talking about the latter, then Hugh Jackamn posted this excellent video of ADR recording for Logan:

What is the process of dubbing?
dubbing, in filmmaking, the process of adding new dialogue or other sounds to the sound track of a motion picture that has already been shot. Dubbing is most familiar to audiences as a means of translating foreign-language films into the audience's language.Do actors have to voice over their lines?
Quite simply, this depends from movie to movie. Mostly they attempt to capture the audio on the set or on location, but plenty of times there's need for ADR: ADR [Automated Dialogue Replacement] - In cases where the production audio is too noisy, or otherwise unusable (bad line reading, airplane fly-by, etc.)Why do actors do dubbing?
The quality of sound captured in real time is to low to be presented at big screen,So to maintain the audio and sound quality dubbing is neccessary.How Sounds Are Made For Fight Scenes In Movies And TV Shows | Movies Insider
