Film Dub

Description

Clips from movies/YouTube are projected on to the stage, with the sound off. The players dub the voices.

Additional Tips for Playing

• Listen.
• When providing the voice for the person on screen watch their mouth at all times and match their mouth shape. If they stop moving their mouth stop speaking.
• Give each other offers i.e an emotion in your voice. 
• It’s great if you have microphones for the voices, but not essential.

Variations

• This game is similar to dubbing and sound effects.

Show Introduction

“This game is called Film Dubbing. We will be projecting a short video for you to watch. Unfortunately, we don’t have the sound so two of our improvisers, who haven’t seen the footage will be providing the dialogue and sound effects.”
