Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR)

This is when a line or more of a movie or TV dialogue that was recorded on location, is re-recorded in a studio. It may be because of sound problems on the original (a plane, a misplaced microphone), or a change in the script (perhaps because of a plot inconsistency, a mistake that hadn’t been spotted, for a different overseas market with different regulations (for example on swearing) or to have a different vocal sound (for example, the character is required to sing, which the actor cannot do to a suitable proficiency).

The original actor may not be available or cost too much to go to the studio to record just a small part of a script and so a replacement actor who sounds like the celebrity is used instead, their words being lip-synced to the video.
