Before walking into the small ADR studio in MoMI with my classmates, I only knew two things about ADR: that it stood for automated dialogue replacement and that using ADR was helpful for replacing poor dialogue audio or tweaking to match the tone of a piece. It didn't seem very relevant to me because I figured that I would not be needing to replace dialogue for any of my Media Production 160 projects. The only way I was able to picture myself using ADR was using a program like Audacity on my pc and plugging in a microphone, read off from a script, and then carefully sync my new audio with the video in premiere pro.
At my visit to MoMI I and a group of three other individuals did some ADR. We did dialogue replacement for Marilyn Monroe's character, Sugar Kane, in the Some Like it Hot scene at the beach with Joe.
One thing I noticed was the short amount of time our group of voice actors had. We had just enough time to say lines outloud for practice in a normal tone, and then we had a few seconds to act out the script.
I also noticed during the playbacks with ADR that all foley sounds and other actor's dialogue were perfectly synced to help make our own dialogue replacement appear seamless.
I'm not sure how technology for ADR has changed because I've only seen one system, but I assume that one common problem of replacing dialogue is matching words with lip movement.
