Stands for: Automated Dialogue Replacement. Used when the sound recorded on location isn’t as clean as it needs to be, a different delivery on a line is needed than what was captured during the shoot, or even because the line needs to be changed altogether and re-filming the scene (AKA, doing pickups) is out of the question. The actor is then brought into the studio to record their own voice, synced to their own lips – like dubbing.
