ADR · CHICAGO · SINCE 1999
Four dedicated ADR stages. Two Chicago locations. Built for feature films, television, documentaries, animation, games, and streaming productions.
Whether we're recording ADR as a standalone session or as part of a complete audio post project, our stages support feature films, television, documentaries, animation, streaming, independent films, and games. We adapt to your production's workflow using streamers and beeps, free-run, or your preferred cueing method.
From cue sheet preparation through final delivery, our experienced ADR supervisors keep sessions organized, efficient, and production-ready. Whether ADR is one part of a larger audio post project or the entire assignment, we'll deliver clean, synced tracks ready for dialogue editorial.
Whether you need a dedicated loop group session or complete audio post services, our casting team handles talent selection, scheduling, and recording using Chicago's outstanding pool of professional voice talent — all coordinated under one roof.
Cinespace Film Studios
Chicago's largest dedicated ADR stage, located on the Cinespace campus. Productions filming on the lot can move seamlessly from set to ADR without leaving campus.
River North
Our flagship ADR studio features a spacious recording booth, comfortable client lounge, and a premium control room designed for feature film and episodic ADR sessions.
River North
Purpose-built for dialogue recording. An exceptionally quiet studio ideal for ADR pickups, television sessions, and fast-turnaround dialogue replacement.
River North
A highly isolated ADR environment with floated floors and a large-format picture display, allowing talent to work from the same high-resolution picture seen by the control room.
Talent in the room, everyone else on the line. Remote clients hear the stage in broadcast quality and direct in real time — no compressed conference audio, no waiting for a file to land before anyone can say whether the take was good.
We support nearly every platform a supervisor might already be on, and we run our own, so there is nothing for a client to install.
A Mobile ADR kit is available on request when the actor can't come to us at all.
Content and security approved. Disney covers Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm.
Automatic Dialogue Replacement — also called Additional Dialogue Replacement, Additional Dialogue Recording, looping, or walla when it is a group. It all means the same thing: re-recording dialogue to picture after the shoot, because the production audio was unusable, the line changed, or the performance needs another pass.
Four, across two Chicago locations — Studio Z at CineBAM on the Cinespace lot, and Studios A, B and C at BAM HQ in River North. With all four running, we can move far more than four actors through in a single day.
Yes — every session includes a free Zoom link, since there is almost always someone directing or listening in remotely. Beyond Zoom, we also run our own patch software, Panda Patch, alongside Source-Connect, SessionLinkPRO, Audiomovers and Cleanfeed. Remote clients hear the room in broadcast quality and direct in real time.
BAM is content- and security-approved by Disney (which covers Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm), Amazon Studios, NBC/Universal, Apple TV+, MGM, Paramount, Starz and Lionsgate, and many others.
BAM HQ is at 1 East Erie Street in River North, a block off Michigan Avenue — see our parking instructions. CineBAM is at 2558 West 16th Street, inside Cinespace Film Studios, on the lot.
