About "use old dramas to practice subtitling"

  1. Go into ten recent dramas (from 2020) and find the moderator for your language.
  2. Make a list of the moderators to send a message to (3-5).
  3. Write a message in your native language about:
  • who you are
  • how you want to contribute (not in which dramas, but in what way - as a subtitler, editor, etc. Mention you want a mentor.)
  • what is your previous experience (if any) and
  • what is your motivation for contributing.
    Make sure the message his written using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
  1. Wait for an answer from those moderators for at least a week.
  2. If after a week you don’t get any response, which is unlikely, send a message to another 3-5 moderators.

My advice is to always be polite in your communication and not to be picky with your first drama/project. You don’t need to like your first project since your aim right now is just to make some contributions.

Good luck!
