is the process of recording or replacing voices for a motion picture. The term is most commonly used in reference to voices recorded which do not belong to the original actors and speak in a different language than the actor is speaking. "Dubbing" can also be used to describe the process of re-recording lines by the actor who originally spoke them. This process is technically known as automated dialogue replacement, or ADR.

A common form of social media used to connect, promote, and socialize with other businesses or friends.

Aka: File Transfer Protocol, method or protocol by which data is sent to public folder that can be accessed from two computers on the Internet.

Means recording at home rather than in a professional studio. It has lately become more popular due to the increase of affordable digital and analog recording equipment. One can have one's own semi-professional recording studio, depending on the quality and extent of their equipment, in the comfort of one's own home as opposed to paying a larger studio by the hour for their services. Home recording may include (or be completely performed upon) a personal computer (PC) which allows for upgrade prospects and high-definition, studio-grade and digital recording mixing.It has grown so much in the past few years that some professional recording studios are turning to utilizing personal computers, ADAT or DAT systems (or the very popular Digidesign tools available on the market), Multitrack Recorders, vocal booths, and various instruments either acoustic or synthesized as opposed to the traditional console setup. For a small amount of money, the proper recording equipment, and sound-proofed settings, basically anyone can have their own recording studio without ever having to walk out the front door.To process home recording, the minimal setup requires an audio interface, microphone and recording software. Many manufacturers support audio devices for any kind of want, e.g. special devices for recording vocals or guitars.

A small, personal recording studio is sometimes called a project studio or home studio. Such studios often cater to specific needs of an individual artist, or are used as a non-commercial hobby. The first modern project studios came into being during the late 1980s, with the advent of affordable multitrack recorders, synthesizers and microphones. The phenomenon has flourished with falling prices of personal computers, as well as inexpensive digital hard-disk recording products.

Most independent voiceover artists use their own home studios on a regular basis, both for personal and commercial recording. Some voiceover artists implement ISDN hardware and software into their studios, to facilitate real-time remote recording of broadcast-quality audio.

Are television commercials that run for one minute or for as long as a typical television program. Infomercials are also known as paid programming (or teleshopping in Europe). Originally, they were typically shown overnight (usually 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.) --- outside of peak hours. Some television stations chose to air such programming as an alternative to the former practice of sign-off. By 2008, most infomercial spending is during early morning, daytime, and evening hours. While the term "infomercial" is loosely used to refer to any direct response television advertisement (DRTV), in the US it is typically used to describe program length advertisements which are 28 minutes and 30 seconds in length. In the US, DRTV advertisements of :30 seconds to 2 minutes in length are typically called "short form" and not included in the advertising industry's use of the term "infomercial". Note that in the US market, a small amount of media can be purchased for 5 minute length advertisements however this time is quite limited.

'ISDN' is an acronym for 'Integrated Services Digital Network'.

Integrated Services Digital Network is a telephone system network. The key feature of the ISDN is that it integrates speech and data on the same lines, adding features that are not available in regular telephone systems.

There are several kinds of access interfaces to the ISDN defined:

Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
Primary Rate Interface (PRI)
Broadband-ISDN (B-ISDN)

ISDN is a circuit-switched telephone network system, that also provides access to packet switched networks, designed to allow digital transmission of voice and data over ordinary telephone copper wires, resulting in better voice quality than an analog phone. It offers circuit-switched connections (for either voice or data), and packet-switched connections (for data), in increments of 64 kbit/s.

Another major market application is Internet access, where ISDN typically provides a maximum of 128 kbit/s in both upstream and downstream directions (which can be considered to be broadband speed, since it exceeds the narrowband speeds of standard analog 56k telephone lines). ISDN B-channels can be bonded to achieve a greater data rate, typically 3 or 4 BRIs (6 to 8 64 kbit/s channels) are bonded.

ISDN should not be mistaken for its use with a specific protocol, such as Q.931 whereby ISDN is employed as the network, data-link and physical layers in the context of the OSI model. In a broad sense ISDN can be considered a suite of digital services existing on layers 1, 2, and 3 of the OSI model. ISDN is designed to provide access to voice and data services simultaneously.

However, common use has reduced ISDN to be limited to Q.931 and related protocols, which are a set of protocols for establishing and breaking circuit switched connections, and for advanced call features for the user. They were introduced in 1986.[1]

In a videoconference, ISDN provides simultaneous voice, video, and text transmission between individual desktop videoconferencing systems and group (room) videoconferencing systems.

In telephony, interactive voice response, or IVR, is a phone technology that allows a computer to detect voice and touch tones using a normal phone call. The IVR system can respond with pre-recorded or dynamically generated audio to further direct callers on how to proceed. IVR systems can be used to control almost any function where the interface can be broken down into a series of simple menu choices. Once constructed IVR systems generally scale well to handle large call volumes.

Socket connector made for the insertion of a plug, commonly used for audio devices, such as, connecting your headphones to your audio equipment.

Applied to VoIP is a variation in packet transit delay. The causes of jitter are typically queuing, contention and serialization effects on the path through the network. i.e. many websites opened at once. Faster, higher bandwidth networks tend to have less jitter whereas slower networks tend to have more congestion and more jitter.

aka. kilobit (or byte) per second (kbps) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000 bits per second.

Local area network, computer network covering a small geographic area, like a home, office, or group of buildings e.g. a school. The defining characteristics of LANs include their much higher data-transfer rates, smaller geographic range, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.

Term used to denote the strength of an audio signal used to transmit analog sound information between audio components such as CD and DVD players, TVs, audio amplifiers, and mixing consoles, and sometimes MP3 players.

A type of voiceover by which a group of individual voice actors record the audio of a scene in a movie or TV show. The talents watch a previously recorded video, and are assigned to a person or group of people, and must mimic or record whenever the person on screen talks.

A microphone, sometimes referred to as a mike or mic, is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal.

(Microphone pre-amplifier) device used to amplify the voltage taken from a microphone to a higher, more usable level. Most microphones must be used in conjunction with a microphone preamp to function properly.

An electronic device for combining ("mixing"), routing, and changing the level, timbre and/or dynamics of audio signals. A mixer can mix analog or digital signals, depending on the type of mixer. The modified signals (voltages or digital samples) are summed to produce the combined output signals.

The process of varying a periodic waveform, i.e. a tone, in order to use that signal to convey a message, in a similar fashion as a musician may modulate the tone from a musical instrument by varying its volume, timing and pitch. Normally a high-frequency sinusoid waveform is used as carrier signal. The three key parameters of a sine wave are its amplitude ("volume"), its phase ("timing") and its frequency ("pitch"), all of which can be modified in accordance with a low frequency information signal to obtain the modulated signal.

A narrator (or the extremely rarely used female equivalent, narratress[1]) is, within any story (literary work, movie, play, verbal account, etc.), an entity that tells the story to the audience. It is one of three entities responsible for story-telling of any kind. The others are the author and the audience (ususally called the "reader," when referring specifically to literature). The author and the audience both inhabit the real world. It is the author's function to create the universe, people, and events within the story. It is the audience's function to understand and interpret the story. The narrator exists within the world of the story (and only there—although in non-fiction the narrator and the author can share the same persona, since the real world and the world of the story may be the same) and present it in a way the audience can comprehend.

A variant of 'new boy' and comes from British public school and military slang. Before it entered popular discourse by way of the Internet, the term "newbie" had a limited usage among U.S. troops in the Vietnam War as a slang term for a new man in a unit. Its earliest known usage on the Internet may have been on the USENET newsgroup talk.bizarre.

Other variants of the word: noob, nOOb, or noobie. Mainly used to describe newcomers to any group.
