process. They should find dubbers who have similar vocal qualities to those of the film’s characters.)

T shows Ss two examples.
The first example: a quarrel between the King and Logue
King George VI: L-listen to me ... listen to me!
Lionel Logue: Why should I waste my time listening to you
King George VI: Because I have a voice!
Lionel Logue: ... yes, you do.
T: In this conversation, the King uses falling tone to give a command; Lionel feels doubtful, so he uses a rising tone to express his doubts.
The second example: Logue asks the King not to smoke.
Lionel Logue: Please don’t do that.
King George VI: I’m sorry
Lionel Logue: I believe sucking smoke into your lungs will kill you.
King George VI: My physicians say it relaxes the throat.
Lionel Logue: They’re idiots.
King George VI: They’ve all been knighted.
Lionel Logue: Makes it official then.
T: In this conversation, Lionel uses a falling tone to express his concern for the King; the King uses fall-rise tone to express his doubt for what Lionel has said.
2. T offers Ss some tips before they practise dubbing the chosen film scene as a group.
Watch the original film clip, read the subtitles, look up new words and expressions in the dictionary. Pay attention to how the actors say their lines and practise along by reading the subtitles while paying attention to the lip movements.
Imitate the emotions and understand the situations presented.
Imitate the intonation of the characters.
Speak clearly and try to stay in time with the character speaking in the film. Dubbing talents have to be able to adhere to timing requirements.
Use your body language to get into character and help the feelings come naturally. Even though only your voice will be heard, you need to act with your whole body.
As a group, Ss work together to practise dubbing their chosen scene.
