Looping Lines	comment	This is where an actor is called back to do the lines again, usually because something went wrong with the sound recording on-set. Also known as "automated dialog replacement" (ADR). The fun part? Now the actor gets to do the line with the intended emotions while lip-synching themselves. This is much more common than you may think. As a rule of thumb, listen carefully to how an actor speaks. If the delivery suddenly sounds much more polished and closer to the microphone, they've been ADR'd. This technique is used on a wider and more noticeable scale in Asian live-action productions, particularly Bollywood and Japanese tokusatsu and Dorama television serials. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })This is the standard way to record dialog in dubbed foreign productions and in anime. Western Animation, on the other hand, generally has dialogue recorded beforehand (a technique known as pre-lay). Contrast Voices in One Room. Japanese voice recording tends to use both styles at the same time – all the actors are in the same room clustered around three microphones, but 98% of the time they are acting to pre-made lip flaps (very few anime are recorded pre-lay style; AKIRA is the major exception).

Looping Lines / int_13b6da8c	comment	Dr. Horrible. Everyone singing is their own voice, but it's a dub of the official musical track over the scene. So they're essentially lipsynching to themselves. This practice is near-universal for filmed musicals, due to the difficulties of having a full orchestra (or even a partial one) on set during filming, of coordinating an offstage band to an on-camera singer (who can't be looking at the director), and of having to do multiple takes - more people involved means more chance for error, and when even one screw-up requires a do-over, it's far, far easier to simply prerecord the tricky bits. In addition, it means that choreography can be quite elaborate without having to worry about breathless singing.

Looping Lines / int_1e703d1f	comment	Very rarely a line is dubbed over quickly days or hours before broadcast of a series to remove a line in the wake of a tragic event where a punchline which was fine days before would now go over like a lead balloon, as in when Lauren Graham redid a Gilmore Girls one-liner punchline about Bali to instead be Maui days after the Bali nightclub bombings. However the Closed Captioning track had already been laid down (which is much, much more complicated to fix, requiring almost a complete re-do of an entire scene), so viewers with it on still saw the Bali reference.

In a Season 4 episode, Dr. Cox imitates making a call with a phone from the early 20th century. At one point during the imitation, he spouts a few repetitive lines of gibberish, which don't match the movement of his lips at all. In an odd inversion of this trope, in the same season, it is apparent during the breakfast table conversation between J.D., Turk, Carla and Neena that for some reason, none of their lines were re-recorded in the studio. There's background hiss and it really sounds like none of the lines were recorded close to a microphone.

This led to Peter Criss, already fed up with the filming and his bandmates, refusing to loop his lines — so all his dialogue was looped by a voice actor. This is hardly the only problem with the movie, but it's by far the most glaringly obvious.

However, if you look closely you see that Sollozzo just says "That's bad luck for me, and bad luck for you": there was a short scene that was present in the book but cut from the film, where Tom Hagen arrives back at home and exclaims "Boy, if I argue against the Supreme Court I'll never do better than I did against that Turk tonight!", having convinced Sollozzo not to kill him on the grounds that he could still negotiate a deal with Sonny despite the Don being alive.

Looping Lines / int_5cd64099	comment	This is hilariously referenced in Jesus of Montreal where one of the actors is introduced while looping lines for a porno. Halfway through, he cries out that he's been reading the wrong lines and he's told that it doesn't matter and that no one will notice. This trope is often completely averted with "gonzo" and "reality" porn, where all the live audio is left in, up to and including "actor" directions. There's a bit of a Broken Base as to whether or not this adds positives to the scenes (with the director acting as something of a narrator) or renders said scenes unwatchable with the sound on.

Further ADR was then used on a censored version that aired on ABC in 1998 and was reused for basic cable screenings into the early 2010s; it was even more noticeable because the new voiceovers didn't match with the original voices (especially Jay's).

As such, "Watch out for snakes!" has become a Running Gag on Mystery Science Theater 3000, (where Eegah was shown) and went through a bit of Memetic Mutation as well. Eegah himself was portrayed by Richard Kiel but voiced by Arch Hall Sr., who was also one of the leads.

Looping Lines / int_dbf18509	comment	On Jeopardy!, Alex Trebek often re-records his reading of a clue in post if he stumbles over a word, but no lip-synching is involved because the screen usually shows the text of the clue rather than his face. This was taken to its logical extreme in a week of episodes in 2015, where all of the clues were re-recorded in post due to Alex having a cold at the time of taping that left him sounding very rough. A disclaimer was added at the start of episode indicating as such.

Looping Lines / int_df72e458	comment	The President's Analyst - during production, J. Edgar Hoover apparently expressed his disapproval of the portrayal of his agency, the FBI (and his own proxy character), so they changed the name to the FBR (Federal Board of Regulation), along with the CIA, now the CEA (Central Enquiries Agency) - footage already shot has obvious overdubs for the name changes. A disclaimer at the film's beginning heavily lampshades this.

Looping Lines / int_ebfefbc1	comment	Looping may also be used to Bowdlerise a song's radio edit if the full version has a word that radio would be hesitant to play. For instance, "Toes" by Zac Brown Band censored the line "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand" by looping in "toes" again to cover up the word "ass".

Looping Lines / int_f74b5f80	comment	The Babylon 5 episode Comes the Inquisitor was originally broadcast with Sheridan referring to the historical murders in London's West End. Unfortunately for JMS, the historical Jack the Ripper committed murders in London's East End. The error was pointed out in a usenet post and corrected for the subsequent broadcast, in spite of misgivings by the writer given that the original scene had the camera was right on Sheridan's face for the whole scene. Watch his mouth, and it's very obvious he says "West" when the audio says "East".

Looping Lines / int_f7f52529	comment	Thunderball, the fourth James Bond film, shows Q introducing Bond to his new tricked-out briefcase, accompanied by the line "Now pay attention, 007". This line would later become one of many famous motifs in the series, but Desmond Llewelyn does not move his mouth.

Looping Lines / int_ff92bd66	comment	Averted in the classic The Twilight Zone episode "Eye of the Beholder". Two different actresses played the main character, one with the bandages on and one with them off. The latter actress was told that they'd dub in the former's voice after filming... but she was on set during the filming of the bandaged scenes, and as a result she managed to mimic the other actress's voice well enough that they didn't need to.

Looping Lines / int_ff9ab17f	comment	The early Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Battle" featured the appearance of Picard's old ship, the Stargazer. The show was shot to the original script before the model shots of the ship were filmed, which had intended to use the old movie Enterprise model to represent it, and Laforge names it as a Constitution-class ship. However, the producers then changed their mind and made up a new model representing a previously unseen class. Levar Burton then redubbed his line using a similar-sounding but different class name, Constellation.
