Voice Tracks

Voice tracks is where actors/actresses voices are recorded and placed over the video afterwards. This is used in various different ways. One of the most obvious ones is for animated film, be it cartoon or CGI (Computer Generated Imagery). This is because there is no actual person acting the footage, the sound for this is recorded by voice actors in a sound booth and placed over the footage.

Another form of this is when the voice is recorded using hidden microphones, usually hidden above the heads of the actors. This could also be done later on separately in a sound booth. This is once again added over the footage in a later stage.
