Last night, I attended an online English conference. A woman said that my pronunciation is good during the conversation but I told her that one of my friends, Aaron, whose pronunciation is better than mine. I said the following to her:

My friend Aaron's pronunciation is good. Would you mind if I share his dubbing videos with you?

Is the italic sentence natural?
 
Is there such a thing as "dubbing videos"?
 
I don't know how to call those videos but he dubbed those videos.

There's an app called here and there are many videos in it. However, you can both listen to the original sound of the characters or dub for them. My friend Aaron dubbed many videos.
 
How about "the videos that he dubbed"?

I don't think Would you mind ...? is particularly appropriate here. That usually means to ask whether the listener has a problem with the suggested action. I think you mean to ask Would you like me to ...?

I agree. I think either is okay, though. It was my first time to join their conversation but we had a very good talk with each other. During the conversation, a nice lady said "Your pronunciation is good, Silver. How to improve pronunciation" and I said "Mine isn't good. I have a friend whose name is Aaron......." Then I said the following sentence. Speaking of which, I apologize for not providing mini-dialogue here because it's not "mini" at all. However, I'll write down both your suggestion and emsr2d2's corrections down for future reference.

OK.
