Why take this mini course?

  • You want to see if dubbing is for you

    Fair enough. Dubbing isn’t for everyone, and nobody should spend hundreds of euros on a full course just to find that out. This is the low-stakes way to look under the bonnet: an hour, €49, and an honest feel for dubbing.

  • AI dubbing is changing the job, not ending it

    AI dubbing tools are arriving fast, and the panic is doing the rounds. Here’s the calmer version: the people who understand how dubbing actually works, synchronisation, quality, what “good” looks like, are the ones who’ll direct the tools instead of being replaced by them. You can’t judge an AI dub if you don’t know the fundamentals. Start here.

  • Everyone in localisation is talking about dubbing

    Streaming platforms want more content in more languages, and dubbing is how they get there. Subtitlers, translators and linguists are all being asked about dubbing work they were never trained for. This course gets you fluent in the fundamentals, so next time dubbing comes up, you’re in the conversation instead of nodding along.

This mini course is for you if:

  • you keep hearing dubbing is booming and want to know what the fuss is about

  • you’re curious whether dubbing actually suits you, before committing to a full course

  • AI dubbing is on your radar and you’d rather understand it than fear it

  • you’re a subtitler, translator or linguist eyeing your next move

  • you run projects rather than dub them, an LSP, project manager or localisation specialist who wants the basics behind your daily decisions

  • you like the sound of getting your €49 back, because it comes off the MEDIA LOCALISATION PRIMER course if you upgrade

FAQ

Any questions?

  • I just want to see if dubbing is for me. Is that a silly reason to buy?

    It’s the best reason to buy. That’s precisely what a €49 mini course is for. Spend an hour, get a real feel for the work, and decide whether you want to go further, without betting a full course fee on a hunch.

  • How long does it take?

    Under an hour, and it’s entirely self-paced. Do it in one sitting or dip in and out. You also get access to our private community to carry on the conversation.

  • Does it cover AI dubbing?

    It covers the new technologies changing dubbing, so you’ll understand where AI fits in and why the fundamentals matter more, not less, once tools enter the picture. If you want to go deep on AI dubbing specifically, that’s a whole course of its own, and we have one.

  • Will I have to attend regular online classes?

    No, this course is self-paced, which means you can do as much as you want at a time. You're in full control of your learning process.

  • Do I need any dubbing experience to start?

    None. It’s built for anyone coming to dubbing fresh. If you can follow a film, you can follow this.
