Content with sound does not need sound anyway. You talk to those characters again. The media production industry has its own jargon, and this jargon is important. The phrase 'I want to have a commercial dubbing' used in the industry is misused. The correct expression is 'I want to have an advertisement voice-over'. Or, 'I want to create a movie dubbing cast' would be a more accurate statement instead of 'I want to create a movie dubbing cast'.
