How it is used
- 'Dubbing; to dub, do voice-over' - 为动画配音 (wèi dònghuà pèiyīn) voice a cartoon; 配音演员 (pèiyīn yǎnyuán) voice actor.
- The 配 (match) + 音 (sound): fitting a voice track to visuals, whether translation dubbing or original voicing.
- Distinguish from 录音 (lùyīn, record sound generally) and 字幕 (zìmù, subtitles).
