Here's a slightly different approach:
If you want to do ADR, I suggest you record the live sound (even if it has
other noise) to use as a synchronization template. Then, when recording ADR
track don't bother to make it perfect. In post processing, use a wave editor
to edit the ADR track and adjust timing between words, volume of each words,
etc so they match up with the live audio track.

Use freeware wave editor like audacity.
