Being George Clooney takes you on a journey into the world of audio dubbing Hollywood films for the international market. SYNOPSIS Being George Clooney is a feature length documentary that delves into the creative, often humorous world of audio dubbing a Hollywood motion Picture for the international market. The story unfolds through interviews with film directors and Producers, with dubbing crews, and with talented voice actors from around the world, including seven actors who dub the voice of George Clooney. Just who are these voices behind that famous face? Francesco Pannofino, Detlef Bierstedt and Samuel Labarthe are actors in their own right. Marco Antonio Costa is an ER doctor in a major hospital. Tamer Karadagli and Shaktee Singh star in successful television shows in their own countries. Being George Clooney explores both the Personal lives of these voice artists and their lives as George Clooney's “alter ego”. As Hollywood dePends more and more on international box office Proceeds, voiceover dubbing has become Part of a multi-billion dollar business. Dubbing studios around the world face the daunting task of translating hundreds of movies into dozens of languages. Film Producers have to consider markets in Italy and India as well as the United States…or lose substantial revenues. Being George Clooney explores the business and the Process of audio dubbing, from its curious origins in Mussolini’s Italy to technological develoPments changing the face of the industry today. Being George Clooney is the first film to go behind the scenes to dubbing studios in Los Angeles, Berlin, Rome and Mumbai. The film shows us the Problems, the Processes and the Personalities that translate an American hit into an international blockbuster, and asks the question-what is it like Being George Clooney. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Paul Mariano Like most PeoPle, I love the movies. I love how they can transport and transform us… how they excite and entertain us. But, I am also fascinated by the “behind- the-scenes” action. How do they make the magic? When I read an article about the French voice of a famous American actor, I was intrigued. I wanted to know more about the concePt and the world of voice actors…those PeoPle that Provide the sound for these famous Hollywood faces. Who are these PeoPle that work in the dark and Provide the voices of “our stars”? How did they get started doing this work? Are they well compensated? Do they enjoy being heard….but never seen?

Martha García Gato Abstract Audiovisual translation (AVT) is a type of translation subjected to numerous constraints. Until now, many studies have been carried out about subtitling and dubbing in films. In musical films, which have been less studied, language transfer is mainly made through songs and, due to their characteristics, their translation is additionally constrained.

  • Parodic Dubbing in Spain: Digital Manifestations of Cultural Appropriation, Repurposing and Subversion 1. Introduction Having Be
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 32 – July 2019 Parodic dubbing in Spain: digital manifestations of cultural appropriation, repurposing and subversion Rocío Baños, University College London ABSTRACT This paper sets out to explore the phenomenon of parodic dubbing by examining its origins and situating it in its current context. Parodic dubbing symbolises the union of two loathed but highly influential forms of artistic and cultural appropriation, used innovatively in the current digital era. The aim is also to investigate how parodic dubbing reflects the politics of audiovisual translation in general, and of dubbing in particular, revealing similarities and divergences with official dubbing practices. This is done drawing on examples from two different Spanish parodic dubbings from an iconic scene from Pulp Fiction (Tarantino 1994). Throughout this work, theoretical perspectives and notions through which parodic dubbing can be examined (among others, rewriting, ideological manipulation, cultural and textual poaching, participatory culture or fandubbing) are presented, framing this phenomenon in the current discussion of fan practices and participatory culture, and drawing on theoretical perspectives and notions developed within Translation Studies and Media Studies. The investigation of the relationship between parodic dubbing, translation and subversion has illustrated that this and other forms of cultural appropriation and repurposing challenge our traditional understanding of notions such as originality, authorship and fidelity. In addition, it has revealed how such practices can be used as a site of experimentation and innovation, as well as an ideological tool. KEYWORDS Parodic dubbing, fundubbing, fandubbing, subversion, cultural appropriation. 1. Introduction Having been both praised and demonised by some scholars, intellectuals, viewers and film directors (see for instance the discussion in Yampolsky 1993 or in Nornes 2007), dubbing rarely escapes controversy.

  • Affirmative Entertainment
    Affirmative Entertainment David Duchovny Biography Born and raised in New York City, Duchovny attended Princeton University (where he played one season as shooting guard on the school's basketball team), received his Masters Degree in English Literature from Yale and was on the road to earning his Ph.D. when he caught the acting bug. Subsequently, Duchovny emerged to become one of the most highly acclaimed actors in Hollywood. The star of Fox Television's international monster hit "The X-Files," David was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, he was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his highly acclaimed and some say risque appearances on THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW. In January 1997, David won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. He has been nominated for a total of three Golden Globes, three Screen Actors Guild and a TV Critic's Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. The press and the public both agree that Duchovny brings a fierce intellect, a quiet intensity and an acerbic wit to his roles on both the small screen and the silver screen. Since THE X-FILES debuted, millions and millions of self-proclaimed "X-Philes" spent their Sunday nights wide-eyed in anticipation as their hero, the brilliant and sullen FBI agent Fox Mulder, explored cases deemed unbelievable or unsolvable by the Bureau. Duchovny's remarkable performance on THE X-FILES earned him the title of "Zeitgeist Icon" by Laura Jacobs in The New Republic and "the first Internet sex symbol with hair" by Maureen Dowd in The New York Times.
