In Netflix's two dubbing premix/mix articles, how is performance and delivery intent (effort, breath, emotion, direction) specified for the dubbing studio, and is there any direction-note or emotion field?

Neither article defines a direction-note, emotion or performance-note field, and neither mentions the dubbing director. Performance intent is specified only by reference to the original version (OV): efforts, breaths and screams must match it, dialogue level, projection and tonality must match it, and reactions are recorded only where the original has them. The two numeric items are a level example (-14 dB regular, -6 dB loud, unit unstated) and a warning not to make an over-upfront dub. Where Netflix states directing intent and lip-sync priorities (Key Moments, PLDL/Show Guide) is in other pages already covered by C2-B10-G2-05; the DAPT/ptulsconv comparison (C3-B212-UO-AM02-01/-02/-03) shows formats that at least offer a free-text note, Reason or EFF slot, which these two Netflix articles do not.

Curator qualifications: No direction-note or emotion field; intent specified by reference to the OV (efforts, breaths, screams, projection, tonality match the OV); level example -14 dB regular / -6 dB loud with unit unstated. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
