The Hidden World of Loopers: Voices Behind the Scenes

Ever watched Spider-Man swinging across the city and heard crowds gasping, yelling, or whispering in the background? Those voices don't record themselves—loopers do that. In this episode, we meet voice actors who specialize in looping and learn how they bring background scenes to life.
They share stories from the studio, tips for aspiring loopers, and insights into why this small community is so important to every production.

🎤 In This Episode:

• What is looping, and why does Hollywood rely on it?

• How loopers are cast and directed

• The difference between looping, ADR, and Foley

• How voice matches work

• Why looping is hard to break into—and why it's worth it

• The impact of AI on this specialized craft
