The scene

Seven lines, one person, and a can of coffee-flavoured energy drink. It is a Brazilian review video: he reads the allergen label aloud, notes that it contains milk, is pleased to find eight grams of protein, and holds it up to the light.

It looks like a coffee with milk, he says, if you look at it from here. He smells it — the smell is great. Then the verdict, which arrives as an afterthought at the very end: there's a little something that comes through right at the finish.

Performing it

A solo part with no other voice to bounce off, so the pacing is entirely yours. The trick is that none of it is performed — he's genuinely reading a label and genuinely curious, so resist making it a bit. The pauses while he looks at the can are as important as the words. The last line is the only one with an opinion in it and should be muttered, half to himself, as though the camera isn't there. At forty seconds with one speaker, it's the easiest scene here to record alone.

The dialogue is muted and everything else stays — the score, the room, the picture. You record each line over the silence and the scene plays back with you in the cast. How a dub is made · what the score measures.
