Anime fandub online
Want to dub an anime, solo or with your fandub team? Anime brings its own questions: adapting the script, the mouth flaps, honorifics and names, character voices and the choice of scenes. This page covers those points. For the full step-by-step method, see the Make a fandub page (link below).

What changes when you dub an anime
1. Adapt the script, not word for word
Rewrite each line in natural language, at the same length as the original. Then time it on the rythmo band that scrolls under the picture.
2. Follow the mouth flaps
In anime, mouths often open and close with no precise shape. Match your syllables to the mouth flaps and respect the start and end of each line.
3. Decide on honorifics and names
Choose before you start whether you keep -san, -kun or senpai. Set one pronunciation for each name and keep it across the whole project.
4. Cast the voices and pick the scene
Assign a character to each line and one voice to each character. To start, pick a short scene with clear dialogue and little music under the voices.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to dub an anime?
You can try it: the 7-day trial lets you import an episode, dub it on the rythmo band and export. After the trial, Voxdub Pro costs €12.99/mo or €99/yr.
What is a rythmo band, and why is it useful for a fandub?
The rythmo band is a strip of text that scrolls under the picture, timed to the characters' lips. It's the tool studios use to dub in sync, and it's what sets a clean dub apart from a simple voice-over.
Can several people dub together, each on a character?
Yes. Voxdub lets you assign a character to each line of dialogue, so a fandub team can split the roles, and everyone records their part separately.
Do you need to install software?
No. Voxdub runs in the browser on Mac, Windows, Linux and Chromebook. A desktop version also exists for macOS and Windows.
What format should you export in for YouTube?
Voxdub exports the dubbed video in HD and 4K, ready to publish on YouTube or TikTok. You can also export the audio (BWF) and subtitles (SRT, ASS, DETX) for external editing.
