Foreign films, television shows, and written works are often translated and transmitted to China. However, China also wants to promote its own culture, so it needs to translate some of its own works into foreign languages and then spread them abroad.
Similarly, the original city television station also recruited some voice actors who not only needed to speak good Mandarin but also be able to translate in English.
Of course, this kind of dubbing is not like an actor performing on TV; it doesn't require showing their face. The dubbed voice is simply added to the TV screen during post-production.
If Lin Fan were to do it, there shouldn't be any problem, but Lin Shuying's level is somewhat unsatisfactory.
However, Lin Fan did not actually want Lin Shuying to make money through this business; he merely wanted Lin Shuying to experience this real foreign language environment to help improve her spoken language.
"Huh? Can I?"
"Of course you can. Voice actors also need to audition. I'm just taking you to experience an audition, not to actually get you a job in this industry. Of course, it would be even better if you could be selected!"
Lin Fan looked at Lin Shuying with an encouraging expression and said, "How about it? Do you want to give it a try? If you do, let's go now!"
"After all, spoken language skills require a lot of practice, and the surrounding environment is also very important. If you can get more exposure to work like voice-over, your spoken language skills will improve dramatically over time."
Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, a hint of anticipation appeared on Lin Shuying's face.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded firmly.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
It wasn't just to practice my spoken English, but also to build my confidence.
Lin Shuying is well aware of her current shortcomings. In addition to her abilities, she also lacks experience in areas such as broadening her horizons and developing her social skills.
Especially in terms of social interactions, although she had done a lot of things with Lin Fan, she usually just stayed by Lin Fan's side like an invisible person.
For example, last time in the provincial capital and this time in Yuan City, Lin Fan handled everything by himself. She just followed along to join in the fun, without even having the time to say a word for Lin Fan.
This can't go on. We need to train hard so that we can stand on our own for Lin Fan in the future. Such a big family can't be managed by Lin Fan alone forever, can it?
"Alright, let's give it a try."
The two then left the park and went to the former city television station headquarters.
When the two arrived at the TV station and explained their purpose, the leader in charge of receiving them was somewhat surprised.
"You want to do voice acting?"
"Young man, our voice-over work has relatively high requirements for foreign languages. Are you two young enough to handle it?"
Lin Fan smiled and, without wasting any words, immediately switched smoothly to English and gave a fluent self-introduction.
The leader in charge of this area must also be proficient in foreign languages, otherwise how would they recruit qualified talent?
The leader was astonished to hear Lin Fan's fluent and flawless English.
"Not bad, young man. Are you mixed race? Or did you study abroad?"
"No, that's not right either. Your Mandarin is also very standard, and I can't hear a hint of awkwardness in it. You must be a native Chinese. Wow~ young man, how did you do that?"
Hearing the leader praising Lin Fan so highly, Lin Shuying couldn't help but show a hint of pride on her face.
Lin Fan smiled slightly and explained, "I learned this through my own hard work; I'm not an international student."
"Besides, I'm not here to apply for a voice-over job; it's my wife who's applying!"
"your wife?"
The leader paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Shuying with some surprise.
These two are so young, how come they're already married?
Lin Fan and his team were already used to this person's reaction, so they didn't pay attention to their leader's attitude and continued, "That's right, her spoken English is indeed somewhat inferior to mine."
"She wants to improve, but she doesn't have access to a good environment on a regular basis, so she wanted to try coming here."
The leader smiled kindly and said, "It's a good thing that young people are eager to learn!"
"Since you want to try, then let you try!"
"Come with me, I'll give you a play, you can try dubbing it."
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and said, "Boss, I'm not here to apply for the job. Let my wife try it out."
The leader laughed and said, "Young man, the protagonists of this play are a man and a woman, a married couple, and it tells a love story from the European aristocratic revival period."
“Even dubbing requires acting partners. Your spoken English is quite good, isn’t it? Why don’t you accompany your wife to try it out? Or would you prefer me to find other male actors? If you don’t mind, I can arrange that.”
Hearing this, Lin Fan touched his nose and immediately nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with her and give it a try!"
What a joke! Having his wife play a couple with another man, even just for dubbing in a play, felt strange to Lin Fan, so he refused on the spot!
The two were then led to the dubbing studio by their supervisor.
The leader handed the script to the two of them and then said, "You have half an hour to prepare. We'll officially begin in half an hour. I'll be your examiner!"
"If you pass the test, you can choose to be a professional voice actor at our TV station, or you can use your spare time to record at home with professional equipment and send it to the TV station for us to review."
"Of course, if you choose the former, we can provide the dubbing equipment. If you choose the latter, you will need to find a way to get the dubbing equipment yourself, and the price may be more expensive."
The so-called dubbing equipment is just high-end microphones, recording equipment, tapes, etc. It's not expensive, and you can get it for a few hundred yuan.
Lin Fan nodded noncommittally and said, "It's too early to talk about that now. Let's see if the dubbing goes smoothly first. We'll talk about it after that."
"Okay, then you can get ready. You have time."
After the leader left, only Lin Fan and Lin Shuying remained in the recording studio.
The two took the script, which was quite long, and it would take more than an hour to get the pace right after a conversation.
Lin Shuying felt a headache just looking at all the words, because there were some she didn't even recognize.
Fortunately, Lin Fan was there to guide him. Lin Fan even suggested that he didn't have to read the lines exactly as written in the script.
Sometimes, some lines are too formal and need to be made more conversational. Of course, to do this, you need someone with good spoken English to make changes to the script.
