How to make a fandub

How to make a fandub, in 5 steps
1. Choose a scene
Start with a short clip of one to two minutes and few characters. Import the video into Voxdub from your browser, with nothing to install.
2. Transcribe and write the lines on the rythmo band
Automatic transcription pulls in the original dialogue. Translate or rewrite each line, then place it on the rythmo band that scrolls under the picture: the text crosses the marker at the exact moment the character speaks.
3. Assign the characters
Assign a character to each line. In a team, each member gets their roles. Solo, you play every character in turn.
4. Record the voices
Follow the rythmo band and record your lines with your mic. Built-in noise reduction cleans up the sound. Redo each take as many times as you need.
5. Export
Export the dubbed video in HD/4K for YouTube, TikTok or Discord, or the audio (BWF) and subtitles (SRT, ASS, DETX) to edit elsewhere.
As a team or solo
As a team
With a Pro account, you invite your collaborators into the same project. Each member records their own characters there, with no software to install.
Solo
You can play every role. Assign each character, then record the lines one by one, following the rythmo band.
Studio-style sync
The rythmo band is the technique dubbing studios use. It shows you when to speak: that is what separates a polished fandub from an out-of-sync voice-over.
Your voice, your performance
Voxdub does not replace your voice. The final dub is your own acting.

Frequently asked questions
What is a fandub?
A fandub (fan dub) is a dub made by fans, for passion and not for a studio. You replace the original voices of an anime, a movie, a cartoon or a game with your own voice or your team's.
Can you make a fandub solo?
Yes. Assign each character, then record every line yourself, one by one, with a different voice for each character.
Can you make a fandub as a team?
Yes. Voxdub lets you assign a character to each line, so a team can split the roles and everyone records their own part separately.
Do you need any special gear or software?
No. A browser and a mic are enough. Voxdub works on Mac, Windows, Linux and Chromebook, with built-in noise reduction to improve the result.
How much does Voxdub cost for a fandub?
Voxdub has a 7-day trial (card required). After that, Voxdub Pro costs €12.99/month or €99/year. You can cancel at any time from the billing portal.
Where can I publish my fandub?
Voxdub exports the dubbed video in HD/4K, ready to publish on YouTube, TikTok or Discord. Audio (BWF) and subtitle (SRT, ASS, DETX) exports are also available.
