Guide on How to Dub a YouTube Video

For YouTubers looking to expand their global reach and connect with audiences in their native languages, dubbing content is a strategic move. However, the dubbing process might seem daunting at first. In this guide we will walk you through the steps a YouTuber can take to get their content dubbed. 

Selecting a Provider (3 Options)

1. Hire Voice Actor(s)

Find professional voice actors in the language you are wanting to dub into and provide them with a detailed description of the project/ videos you’d like to dub. It is important to ensure that they are able to identify cultural nuances in the language you have specified. This process is time-consuming especially if your videos have multiple speakers as you will need to individually find the right voice-actor for each role. After this, you will need to mix all the separate audios together into one audio wav. file. If this seems like a lot of work for you it's best to go with Options 2 and 3. 

2. Use an AI Tool

To dub your YouTube videos using AI there are tons of cheap options out there. However since these are all in development beware of AI’s inability to capture the correct cultural nuances and emotion which may hinder your channel’s performance. 

3. Find a Dubbing Studio (Recommended)

Finding a dubbing studio that can professionally translate your content offers several key benefits:

• Superior Quality and Accuracy: Working with a dubbing studio results in professional translation and voice acting that maintains the tone, emotion of your original content with the correct cultural nuances of the language you are dubbing into.

• Ease and Expertise: Dubbing studios provide professional voice talents and are able to organize and edit everything in house. Working with a studio like ourselves, BeMultilingual will be able to help you directly navigate the best way to dub your content on YouTube.
