Soooo uh, here’s what we got out of attempted debunking, and the debunking isn’t going as debunkily as planned so far–courtesy of POLOL server 1 debunk squad:
This is definitely both Castiel and Dean’s voice actors.
Okay, so: op is definitely Italian. Everything about the Tumblr account is default, their icon, the header, the theme. Their settings are also default (show following, show likes, ask and submit disabled, messages open). Blog’s title is default Italian, they’re following both Tumblr staff and the Italian Tumblr staff, which is what Tumblr does when you make an account (follow staff and the localized staff account). Even their blog’s time zone is the default set by Tumblr (US/Eastern). I So at least we know that if this is a troll, it’s originating from Italy (or someone using a vpn to pretend to be from Italy, which, honestly, occam’s razor, they’re probably just Italian).
Video shows no signs of having been edited, meaning that if the lines were edited op had to first fake the entire thing, then set it up on a tv, then record it again on their phone to upload it. If it’s fake, someone put a LOT of work into faking it.
The waveform reveals nothing suspicious, but it being recorded on a phone, it’s impossible to divide the audio channels like we normally do (or more accurately, the audio channels show this definitely wasn’t added post-phone-record). However, a sharp listen in Audacity shows nothing that would indicate a hitch in the content.
If this *is* a fake, someone went to *ridiculous lengths* to make this fake. you would have to isolate the background music from the original scene and remove the original spec, find times the voice actors had said exactly the same words in supernatural or elsewhere and remove any extraneous music or sound effects from that, redub the scene very precisely as a dubbing artist would to mirror lip movements and SO ON.
So whoever this is:
Is Italian
Has access to the current dub work
Has access to a studio rig the dub work is presumably being done on
And either took a ridiculous amount of time isolating all of the above just to fake this or… well, saw it and recorded it.
Points to kinda debunk it: The monitor it’s playing on looks old? But if you look up the studio they do have some older equipment? And it would be hella weird to go so far as to MAKE THIS FAKE AND PUT IT ON A FAKE OLD MONITOR?
An email has been sent to the dubbing company.
Save it. Right now. Everyone save it.
Keep in mind: this proves nothing. It does not give PROVEN authenticity, but I’m bundling a bunch of the common complaints about it as we CAN address them. Others will need deeper review.
