Dubber
A 'dubber' is a person or entity responsible for dubbing, which is the process of replacing or adding sound, particularly dialogue, to a film, television program, or other audiovisual material. This often involves translating the original audio into another language or replacing the original voices with new ones, frequently lip-syncing the audio. The term also applies more generally to someone who adds sound effects, music, or voiceovers. Dubbers work with a wide range of media and sometimes 'dub' audio to alter its original purpose, as well as to suit different audiences.
