Im working on a project and showing a guy saying a short sentence.Under this I have a song from the hobbit and in it the actor is saying: theyre taking the hobbits to issengod. So what I want to do is use the instrumental part for the song without the actor, but use my guy on the screen saying his line but to the cadence/inflection of the actor so they sound the same . Is this possible. I have no idea how to do this. Have had no luck looking for a demo audio software. Its literally a 5 second clip.
thanks

I have the instrumental version and I have the clips lined up, but they obviously dont match at all.

Im in a time crunch and this is the only part of the project that I have left to do

If I understand what you are trying to do correctly.

I would use vocal removal software to remove the original actor's voice from the mixed music/dialogue piece. Then I would shoot my talent saying the lines with as close to the timing, tone and inflection of the original dialogue. Then stick it all together. I do a lot of audio resyncing for various jobs, so a five-second piece shouldn't pose too much of a challenge... famous last words! :)

If you are stuck, upload the required music, footage and your actor's voice track. WeTransfer.com can handle up to 2GB for free. Then post a link. In other words, upload all the bits needed for the job and let some of us give it a go. The footage doesn't need to be super high quality, just a decent MP4 for timing purposes. You can assemble the new necessary bits if any of us can make a sync match success of it.

will do that. cant reshoot , this was a clip they gave me
Heres the wetransfer link. Actually was shorter than 5 sec.

So I just want the guy at the table to have same pattern as the hobbit guy. No wording or voice will change, He will just say his words with the same flow as hobbit guy.

thanks so much.

Glad to have a sample of what you are working with. I believe the correct answer to the client will be "nope, nice idea but it just isn't going to work".

This would be a huge time hole of which you could spend copious time on it ... and it still won't "work," and it becomes your perceived failure instead of the person at the client who had the bright idea. I didn't even count, but I'd be sure the first clip doesn't have the right amount of syllables to match the required lyric space of the second.

It's just not going to work.

Also, here is a separated audio since you've committed to this. :-P

This was done with Izotope RX. Wishing you all the best.

Oh, and you might need this version of the spoken bit where the reverb has been taken out of the vocal.

PS. Very curious to see how it turned out in the end.

As Andrew says. Almost impossible to match the inflections and cadence. But here is a composite clip with your talent and the music, along with some pitch up/down shifting on the dialogue. Can be viewed and downloaded here:
