Dubbing eliminates completely original voices: the actors must also have "lip-sync", that is, they have to respect, as much as posible, the movements of the lips.
Good luck, and please excuse my poor english writing.

The studio where you do that subtitling work normally provides suitable technical training and the side-by-side services of a video technician in the same booth or work station while you review the scenes and make necessary revisions.
Another (occasional) job is transcription and translation of audiotapes or the audio portions of broadcasts (news interviews and the like).
