How to make a fan-dub BASICS tutorial

[TheUmbreon0]

How would I edit things on it? If I wanted to, say, remove any nudity or something, for example.

[MISSKitty131996]

what's with the battle mucsic from FF? you must like it a lot!

[ChineseJellyfishes]

Oh!! Haha! The Omibozu part is a great touch!! (*loves "Love*Com"*) :)

[CrimsonZanpakuto]

If you want to do the ABSOLUTE basic, yes, this works, but this means removing all the sound effects and music from the rest of the video, which is awful to do in a serious fandub. You need to find a way to remove the voices only, or remove everything but reinstate the sound effects and soundtrack from outside sources (difficult to do for more obscure shows with no official soundtrack/sound effects available). If you just wanna make a quick and dirty one, this works, but it really is basic.

[luckyanimegirl51]

Do you need internet to import a video to your collection on windows movie maker?

[ChristeenahOwO]

How do you download the clips?

[domie200]

@ChristeenahOwO What type of clips?

[ChristeenahOwO]

@domie200 Anime ones o,o

[domie200]

@domie200 I usually just download them off of youtube XD

[souleater000girl]

can u still use it if you dont have a mic.?

[domie200]

@souleater000girl You need a mic to be able to input the sound of your voice. But you can use the program without a mic to mix sounds ect

[MISSKitty131996]

@souleater000girl movie maker has a mic on it. if on a laptop you can just speak into where the microphone plug in socket is and it will work but i cant get it to work on a big system unit. if that's ay help? :3

[PearlsofLife3]

i read the comment above on how hard it would be to keep the sfx and music in the video but i still want to do that. can you or someone else please upload a tutorial on how to create a movie with sound effects and music only so that i can fandub it? plz reply

[kazumi0870]

domie200 i want to know how to make a fandub to sing my anime songs.. pls reply.. thanks!!

[2Shaila21]

aren't there laptops with built in microphones? just a quick question...'cause i want to make a fandub but my parents won't agree to buying a microphone

[TheFreakinRican123]

Great video. Now all I need to know now is how to get the actual clips for my videos. If anyone can actually help me it would be highly appreciated.

[ZeroKiller20]

What's the song called in the vid?

[Xxluvrgurl117xX]

is there a way to add the song in the background while you are singing? so it plays with your voice?

[higurashianimeaddict]

I have a question... is it possible or enough to use only headset with microphone in it..??? not a microphone one?? answer me please!!! ^_^

[Yuukicorp]

@higurashianimeaddict Its possible but th quality is not so good as a studio microphone

[Sandwichguy16]

@higurashianimeaddict You have to have a mic.

[aamaya55]

~Mukyuu~ <3 I can see cloud :)) thanks for the tutorial, it helped a lot!

[Copper389]

how can i do this adding other peoples voices? like other people on other mics?

[xFallOutGirl1]

do you know of a good alternative to Windows Movie Maker for Mac?

[xXxShugoMamoxXx]

how do you get a clip of the anime?

[annie131995]

how do i save the clip i want to my computer???

[KawaiiAnimeLuverGirl]

If you already recorded something in windows movie maker, can you put it in audacity and edit it that way?

[reyshakquit]

I have a question: How do I make the audio from the video to stay in, and if you can't in Windows Movie Maker? Do you know a better program that does that? Im trying to dub a series to Spanish, but I want the audio to stay in, and to be replaced by my own voice please help...

[domie200]

@reyshakquit Hmmmmm..... It's almost impossible to do that. This is why some fandubs are a pain, because you have to first mute the whole clip, put in your own music and sfx and create a whole diffrent movie without voices before you can even statrt to fan dub xP

[MissSandychan]

@domie200 Please, please tell me the name of the first song you used. It's awesome!

[lilbit15210]

@reyshakquit there is a program called Goldwave that lets you split up the audio into at least three different sections One for sound effects, one for music, and finally one for voices. so you can keep background noise and actually seem like you were in the clip. i have never used it but i read about it a couple times. it isn't free though, i'll send you the link where i found it and the regular website is goldwave dot com, hope this helps!!

[lilmama321123]

@reyshakquit the way i do it is make one video with instramental music or sounds  and once saved open it to movie maker after that lower it and add voices , i use goldwave to make my voice louder or ecoh it and stoff , i hoped that helped ^^

[DetectiveTective]

@reyshakquit I actually heard that there's some kind of audio software that you have to buy/download on your computer that can put in the sound effects with your voice (but I don't remember what it's called unfortunately. Some fan "dubbers" have this feature and they can put in the music and sound effects and everything else to go along with their voices.

[FourthPiece]

@reyshakquit What you need to do is search for background music from the show you're doing. A good Google search prompt would be "(Title of anime/show) bgm download". Then, if it's a scene with quite a bit of sound effects (ie; a fighting show with lots of punch and kick sounds) then you'll also want to look for those sound effects too. Search "(Title of anime/show) sound effects download".

[RaiderSelenia]

f*ck i dont have microphone

[flaminghobo102]

is there i virus in it?

[domie200]

@flaminghobo102 No. But Always scan your computer! ;p

[animelover026]

could u also use a recorder instead of using a microphone?

[Alfaidiot]

is it recommended that i have a microphone, because i screwed it up.

[RynoGamerz]

You can always use already installed programs such as "Sound Recorder" to well record sound.

[ShivaHoshi]

Mine does not have SAVE AS WAV like you said. It just has SAVE PROJECT AS and I don't know how to change it to WAV.

[xXSanctusAvaritiaXx]

@ShivaHoshi Use File>export.>save as wave

[archiesonic]

Do you NEED audacity to make a fan dub...? Will a program like Sony Vegas work as a substitute?

[AnimeKitty2001]

Thanks for the tutorial thank god that my new laptop has a built in microphone

[uranusfan1]

yeah but what if u only want 2 mute the voices and not the music or sfx?

[cuteanimefan8]

do u really need a mic cause i used audacity without a mic and it works

[OuKanha]

My audacity wont work-_-

[ZufangSan]

When I import the files to the movie maker, I receive an error mesagge that says that the files are not valid, or corrupted.

[kina96cuzofinuyasha]

thank you

[echiryryota]

wow, thanks

[MsShellyxO]

thank - you so much!!~

[tetyama]

what's the song at the begining?

[Macabreaholic]

Aaah~, I can't express in words how happy I am that someone actually made one of these tutorials!

For the past month or so, I've been working on a Higurashi fan-dub, but I had no idea how to go about creating one, considering I don't know anyone who wishes to do a dub with me nor is interested in such things.. This clears all of my confusion away.

Thank you so much.

[pieboy465]

ty for making and where do u get ur anime clips from?

[ZipZapZopTitania]

You're so awesome. I looked this up on Google (Lord knows I can't buy any software, so this is good), and this is what everything said, but I still didn't get it. Seeing it made me see the light! YAYZ! xD I really, REALLY wanted to learn how to make fandubs. Things like Umineko and Shugo Chara just NEED to be dubbed.

Oh---and your singing rocks, but your mike is an insult to your amazing talent. *vows to kill your microphone* EVIL MIKE!!! DIE! But, seriously, you can SING, girl!

[candypearlvoice]

TKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[klaushai]

Cloud !!!

[DekiNoSama]

What if i want to get rid of the voice of a singer but keep the music how do i get it to work like that?

[apusama]

the easiest option is looking for the "instrumental/karaoke" version of the song. it's not ideal since not all songs have it, but it's a good option otherwise.

[shootingstar860]

were can you get the anime clips?

[domie200]

@shootingstar860 Download them off youtube, you can search up "download youtube movies online converter" in a search engine, and follow the steps of one of the sites. But ensure that you don't have a file as .flv for it wont work in windows movie maker

[animegirlz100]

what if you need to put in background music. or add sound afex (i cant spell)

[showdownrocks]

if you have music and sound effects.

then put your voice in the muted clip..

save the movie file.

re-import it into movie maker.

instead of muting it make it halfway video halfway audio

and put music in.

save.

and do it again for sfx.

thats how i make my fandubs

[Sakurkabomb]

whats the name of this song?

[UltimateAlchemist]

Thank you very much! But how can I fandub a music? Ya know...background and stuff ^^

[PikaJutsu]

Hey, I have another question. In order to make it sound authentic, so that it doesn't sound silent in the background...

How do you make a fandub with your voice, and yet it also has the regular sound effects in the background? (Without the japanese voice mixed in, of course.)

[xxxxDooDLeZxxxx]

Yeah, i wanna know that too...

[MikuruNyan]

You can make the whole song in Audacity. Just open the song you want,, then record over it. If it goes silent when you try to record, go to Transport>Overdub(on/off)

I could go into the billions of other details, but I wouldn't have enough room, plus, I'm still learning myself. o3o

[pokemonmaniacSLR]

i dont save as mp3 i save as a wav because it dont save as mp3

[Suthek]

well that was....semi-helpful

that method would be the first one I would've used

But I want to keep sounds and music within the video. I just want to redub it...(ok music I can get the OST and reimport it, but soundeffects?)

[SilverWalker56]

well i dont know how to change the music ointo kareoke but i can make my voice go with the karaoke version. its just the music gets softer so you have to adjust both volumes

[FinalUltimateFantasy]

ok I have several questions:

How do you change the song so that music plays and it's basically a karaoke track?

And how do you make the clip play along with the mp3 that you're singing to?

and is audacity hard to learn?xDDD

[Enigma3650]

do you know how to record over something? like...say a karaoke version of a song? it's been racking my brain for a month X_X

[waterspirit426]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!! ^^ I can't thank you enough for the helpful and understandable way you wrote this and the awesome music you chose, too!!!! x3

[domie200]

thanks :D

[julietadivabear]

Ok well ,I am making a fandub and I want to get other people from youtube voices without meeting them in person or whatevs...If they record their voices, how am I able to get them on WMM? Please reply

[likestosing100]

they should be able to send you the file in an email they just need to make sure it is the right format like wav or mp3 it should work i have sent fandub movies through email before.

[julietadivabear]

OMG! I owe you one mate :D you have no idea how much this means to me, thank you sooooooo much!!!!

[RhapsodyDusk]

Is there a specific source you get your clips? I have all the resources for fandubbing, I just need the clips though.

[domie200]

sorry fr late reply, i download the clips from youtube. You can look for online youtube video converters though google or something. But if you tell me what clips your looking for I can probably tell you a good site.

[Kaorulicious]

To add onto that, I use Any Video Converter. You can just add Youtube URLs and it downloads them. Then, if you need to, you can convert them to any file type you want.

[DeathsChildX]

is it possible to say only cut out a single actor's voice? I wanna do a fandub, but I dunno anybody interested in doing one with me, and I can't do everyone's voices, so I was wondering if there's a way to cut out just a single character's voice and insert my own in?

[xXLLawlietLoverXx]

I'll do a fandub with you. It will be my first and it depends what anime it is your dubbing ^^ let me know and I might be interested ^^

[DeathsChildX]

you wanna do a fandub with me? I dunno, I mean, I don't even know how to do one myself ^-^;

I was interested in doing a Clannad dub (since there isn't an english track anyway)

[xXLLawlietLoverXx]

I havn't seen clannad yet. I will start watching it right away ^^ We might want to also find someone with experience so we don't end up with a complete failure. haha. ^^ I'll do it. But I really need to watch it first.

[DeathsChildX]

yeah, if only we can find somebody, cuz I ain't exactly good with computers lol.

And if we're serious about this, it'd be nice to have a leader.

I should also note that there are very few male roles in Clannad, at least, from what I've seen

[xXLLawlietLoverXx]

Haha yeah ^^" I'm pretty good with computers but I'm not exactly good with windows movie maker, and stuff like that. It has been giving me problems. Btw ..hehe when you pointed out that there isn't many male roles in Clannad I think you thought I was male? I am female haha ^^""

[batmitzva]

hi! i have a problem: i have made a fandub, but ppl say that i should work on the mixing. what does that mean, and why should i do it?

[domie200]

Mixing is basicly how all the sounds "work" together. For example bad mixing would be having your background music much louder than the voices. or the sound effects quieter then the background music. You should fix your mixing to make the quality of your clip better and to impress your audience!

[batmitzva]

thanks!! you really hellped me out!! domo arigato^-^

i just got a mixing program, so i think i will be ok. thanks again for explaining!

[ozzer234]

when import my the record it says error

[Sk8ingAlways]

thanks a lot,me and my brother are gonna do a soul eater fan dub

[bakaskybluepink]

What version of Audacity do you have?

[Clankl33t]

Thank you .. finaly i found this video

[Sakura00003]

Thanks so much this is just what I needed!

[BroadwayBaby98]

[Amyrocks99]

lol I didn't notice I already had audicacy. My brother was making halo dubs ^^

thank you for making this! Now I can do higurashi, sonic, naruto and tokyo mew mew dubs!

[RibbonGun]

which microphone do you recomend?

[pieroka]

What kind of mic should i get?

[domie200]

well any mic is good. :D

[fasionlady1999]

Ok great but do you know a good site where I can get clips and plz tell me how to download Thanks big help! ;)

[batmitzva]

what series do you want to download? i basicly can help you only with animes...

[fasionlady1999]

@batmitzva Peach Girl, Spiral, Suzuka, Nabari No Ou, Ouran High School Host Club, and xxxHolic

[TayHeartsU]

Thanks! This was really helpful! ^^

[theperfect7]

I found it, thanks anyway :)

[theperfect7]

the clip i would like to fandub

[domie200]

well you'll have to look around on the internet for clips :S, i can't really help you with that sorry :(

[theperfect7]

Where can I get the clips from? :)

[domie200]

what clips?

[Darkus555]

how do you get the movie you want to dub onto windows movie maker

[domie200]

You go to File>Import into collections. Then browse for the file you want to put into your project :D

[viki2004]

YAY!!! thx alot!!!!

[SpazHinata]

How do you keep the audio on the video and just get rid of the voice which you replace?

[omitrix19]

where can i find the vid?

[V00371]

can i do this another way? becuz my windows movie maker is doesn't work!!

[XBunnaxxPandiX]

The program won't download on my computer! I only have sound recorder but it sounds fuzzy... Can you help?

[TagalogMoonSub0630]

i cant save it as wav

its aup??

[domie200]

okay dont press save or save as, press export instead, tell me if that works =p

[ForerunnerLuke]

FAIL.

A real Fandub guide would explain how to remove the voice and the voice only. Secondly, you should be able to keep the SFX or BGM of the scene rather than just hearing a fuzzy microphone voice.

Nice try, but still, needs LOTS of improving.

[VoiceactingUK]

Actually reworking all audio is a valid method it's a lot harder and a lot more dependant on source video quality to edit out voices. If you go that route you do have to then manually redo the whole soundtrack.

[14traXeX]

hey! i got a problem in IMPORTING! i just cant import the vid i downloaded from youtube! is there any solution to import a downloaded file?

[domie200]

I think when you download a movie from youtube the file has the extension flv right? (or something like that) try to convert the file to .wmv or .avi

[Ginya84]

i can´t find the plug ins for audacity to save my songs as mp3 or else... but i need it! i can only save as an au data.... that not so good please can somebody help me to find some good plug ins for free?

[domie200]

export it as a .wav?

[Ginya84]

sorry my english is not so good when i press save as there is only au

[domie200]

look for "export as wav" or "export" not save as.

[THEGREATESTJEDICHIMP]

u actually dont need audiacity... just click narrate timeline (microphone over timeline) and kazam! you'll be saying sham wow

[2351156]

THAT'S NOT A NICE TUTORIAL.

You will use the background effects and sound. Not nice, but good if your making parody or a spin-off, but not a serious fandub.

[johnpong17]

is there any way that you will only the voice???and dont cover the whole scene with just a voice???your covering the environment or background sound effects of a scene

[mongoliangirl12]

it's a geart tutorial but there's just one problem when i searched in google there was a lot of audaucity which one shouild i choose

[thefunnyfunnyboy]

ok....but can you get rid of the voices and keep the BG music and sound?

[yinsho]

I have the same question! D:

How do you do that!?

[domie200]

Okay i only have one solution, and im not even sure if it will work. First take the whole episode or clip and drag it into the music/audio section of the timeline. then press save your movie file. (this will save the episode as just sound for now.) convert the file into and mp3 or wav some how, then use my kareoke tutorial for the rest....

[skittlesandsoda08]

Thanks a bunch for this. It helped me a lot .

[Juinor]

Oh wow..i have no clue how to dub..but this is the best tutorial than ever..I love u "wink" LOL show me some ok..

[lowIQ04]

i cant upload Mp4 D:

[PrivateeRyann]

Could you please send the file with the song at the end from final fantasy 8? Its different from the original version and its great. I would be really greateful.

[xoxpriscilla]

wow i just stumbled upon your video and i was looking for a free voice changer type of thing, and the audacity is perfect! thanks soo much for making this video!!

[domie200]

No problem, glad i could help you. ^^

[broadwaylove52]

Okay so I've been wanting to make a fandub for a while now...so I just uploaded Audacity.

I downloaded the clip I want to dub from YouTube as an mo3, and tried to remove the vocals, but apparently it has to be stereo and not mono.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? lol I'm so confuuused!!

[broadwaylove52]

Oh sorry. I meant DOWNloaded lol not uploaded

[joanncastelo]

Is Audacity virus free???

[KazeYoukai15]

psh Yeah.

[valkyrei28]

where can i get the clips? that i want? examle is c-ute's pv

[skinnysankyo]

thanks but how do you edit the sound so that the music in the background, but not the voices, is still there? otherwise it sounds really weird and awkward

[domie200]

acutally im uploading a tutorial for that right now, it shoul be up in ~15 mins or sooner. =D (werid coincidence eh!?)

[shybanditp38]

I like this song wats it called dude its very cool

[bluerubyvideos]

Why can't you just narrirate the timeline? It's easier.

[TheMasqueradeTheatre]

Well, with audacity, you can add sounds and background music when you're recording yourself. With WMM you can't do that..

[psx7]

if you download an episode, how do you take out the japanese voices and fan dub it? In other words, how do you delete off the japanese wording leaving only the sound effects

[AgentYlime]

How do you get the anime clips you want in movie maker? Do you record what you want with your video camera from the anime and import that from your camera and then you have it in move maker? Or is there an easier way? ^^; Thanks!

[domie200]

Well, I download most of my things from Veoh, or look around for clips on google.

[lozzalovesyou]

When I record my microphone doesn't pick up my voice, it works normally with other programs, so why not now? It's definately plugged in and installed correctly :/

[domie200]

make sure the volume for the microphone imput is on all the way in audacity. it should have a little icon of a microphone and a slide bar. then you should be ready to go.

sometimes when you record though the slide bar goes down, so make sure when your recording you check that its still in place.

[nddlj]

QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Audacity! I have Windows Movie Maker!

I have the WMV Little Mermaid instrumental video ready to go. but when I click import the "Imorting Files..." theprogress bar is full but the bottom bar is empty and the window freezes. And I can't do anything afterwards. It won't let me open the file!!!

What do I do?

[domie200]

that happens to me sometimes too, what you can do is when it just starts importing just press on the cancel buttonand it should upload. (maybe it only works on my computer, but thats what i do when this problem occurs.)

[sailormoon4eternal]

How do I get the Audacity thing lolz?

[sailormoon4eternal]

Could you send a link to where ou got yours if o ocudl or something doesn't matter. Just wondering though.

[mikey30245]

how do you get windows movie makers

[lozzalovesyou]

It should be automatically on your PC if you have Windows.

[Anna100l]

WOW this is a very good video! I'm going to show this to people who ask me about fandubs!!

[ChocolateCheesePie]

Hey nice video. I'm gonna go try it with my friends! :D

[asamichara1223]

sweet now i can dub episodes of mermaid melody and shugo chara with my friends!

[terraforce991]

I think this is a stupid question but how do you know when to say the lines.

[terraforce991]

Thank you so nuch

[holyXseven]

ummm.. i know this might sound stupid but, do i use the mic of a headphone or what??

[slik7545]

thanks

[LiveInColor2]

Where can you get video clips to dub without illegally copying DVDs lol?

[invaderme1234]

wow thanks XD now i can make a kingdom hearts fan dub, thanks

[Kyzix3]

When you put the "actual" song in the bakground, how do we not let people hear the voice of the "actual" song, but only our own voice?
