What to study to become a film dubbing actor or actress?

The voice is a powerful tool. In film, it can excite, provoke, inspire, or move without the face appearing on screen. Film dubbing is an art that requires precision, interpretation, and sensitivity. If you are passionate about acting and have an affinity with your voice, this course can open the doors to a profession with a long tradition and a strong present.

At ECPV – Basque Country Film School, we offer you specialized and practical training in film dubbing, where you will work with real scripts and active dubbing professionals.

"The voice is the actor’s oldest and most powerful instrument." — Cicely Berry, vocal coach at the Royal Shakespeare Company

Why train in film dubbing?

Because dubbing is not just reading a text: it is acting with the voice. It is adapting to a rhythm, tone, emotion, and a character already performed by another actor, doing it naturally, in sync, and with credibility. This course will allow you to acquire the necessary skills to start a career as a dubbing actor or actress in film, television, or advertising.
