Could someone please instruct me how to make a fandub?

I have a mic, Audacity and Windows movie maker and VLC media player.

I've been trying to do research for the past few hours and I've gotten nowhere.
I'm sure I can figure out how to use WMM so i'm not too worried about that.
The main issue i'm having is, how do I isolate just the vocals so I can mute them while keeping background sound fx and music?

I understand that I am probably going to have to convert my video file to an audio one, like mp3 or something but what do I do from there?

Someone who is experienced please hold my hand and walk me through this.
I'd really like to dub something!

Thanks in advance!

Is that even possible?

I mean, if someone is talking and there's background sounds going at the same time I don't believe you can separate them into "Sound 1 - Voices" and "Sound 2 - Background" nor isolate just one of them.

Maybe your best shot is just inserting the voice then adding "Custom" background noise (Some sound effects or stuff like that, dunno what you want tho)

Thanks for the quick reply!
And I'm quite sure its possible. It has to be..

I've seen comedic fandubs that have all the original sound FX.
I understand that some files might be harder to work with than others but i just really want to know so that I can keep the original authenticity of whatever scene I do choose.

I believe it's a fairly similar process to unofficial instrumental versions of songs. I'm sure there's some software that can do it, but you'll need to spend a lot of time watching tutorials and trial and error.

I ended up just choosing a scene without background music for my first attempt.

I'm proud of it regardless of how mediocre it may be. Haha.
I did a short clip from Kissxsis.

Would anyone care to see/listen?

I wouldn't mind watching it. It's probably a lot better than any of my fandubs (they were very cringeworthy). Now I only do fansubs, comedy or otherwise, partly because of how monotone my voice is.

You have a beautiful voice, but I don't think you put enough emotion into it. If you can get a female to do Akane's voice it would also sound better. There's a bit of a disconnect when two characters are speaking different languages yet acting as if they are speaking the same one.

Totally understandable. I didn't really want to overexaggerate it hence the semi lackluster quality. I'm sure I can do better if more emotion is what you think is necessery. I just didn't want to go overboard like a spazz. Haha.

Thank you for the constructive criticism and quick reply!

I'll try another scene tonight with what you said in mind and post the results then!
