==English version== [[File:Ultraman English Language Title Card.jpg|thumb|200px|Title card for Ultraman English dub (1966)]] [[United Artists Television]] picked up the rights for ''[[Ultra Q]]'' and ''Ultraman'' in the fall of 1966, two months after the first episode of ''Ultraman'' aired. ''Ultra Q'' was dubbed but never broadcast in the United States due to American TV stations preferring color shows over black-and-white shows. ''Ultraman'' ran in and out of syndication until the early 1990s.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ultramanconnection.com/pages/licensing-program/ |title=Licensing Program - Ultraman Connection |access-date=25 August 2024}}</ref> UA-TV also syndicated ''Ultraman'' internationally.{{sfn|Ragone|2007|p=129}} [[Peter Fernandez]], [[Corinne Orr]],<ref>{{cite web |last=Aiken |first=Keith |date=March 3, 2017 |title=Ultraman in English: William Winckler Interview |url=http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2017/03/03/ultraman-in-english-william-winckler-interview/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200119105543/http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2017/03/03/ultraman-in-english-william-winckler-interview/ |archive-date=January 19, 2020 |access-date=November 21, 2018 |work=SciFi Japan}}</ref> and [[Earl Hammond]] provided the voices for the dub.{{sfn|BCI Eclipse (b)|2006|loc=00:07:07}} Fernandez also wrote and supervised the dub.<ref name="Peter"/> Describing the process, Fernandez said: "I had a [[Moviola]], sometimes a projector, and I’d go back and forth over each line carefully and carefully, building the line to look like English." Fernandez also went on to explain that a [[grease pencil]] was used to mark scenes that needed to be dubbed, even if it were only a few lines. A loop of the film would be projected so that the voice actor could memorize his or her lines and see where the scene needed to be dubbed. The voice actors had to wait for a beeping signal before starting, Fernandez explained: "So in the studio you hear “Beep… beep… beep…” then you talk, as if there is a fourth beep. Those beeps are drilled into me. They are two-thirds of a second apart. Later on, the film is reassembled and mixed with the original music and sound effects."<ref name="Peter">{{cite web|url=http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2009/01/07/peter-fernandez-speed-dubbing/|title=Peter Fernandez: Speed Dubbing|last=Johnson|first=Bob|work=SciFi Japan|date=January 7, 2009|access-date=February 7, 2018|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125223155/https://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2009/01/07/peter-fernandez-speed-dubbing/}}</ref> The English dub was featured in the BCI Eclipse DVD release of ''Ultraman'', as well as subsequent DVD re-issues from Mill Creek Entertainment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2009/10/15/ultraman-the-complete-series-dvd-review?page=2|title=Ultraman: The Complete Series DVD Review|work=[[IGN]]|date=October 15, 2009|access-date=February 7, 2018|first=R.L.|last=Shaffer|url-status=live|archive-date=June 5, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230605235436/https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/10/15/ultraman-the-complete-series-dvd-review?page=2}}</ref>
