Dub an anime, in 4 steps
1. Import the episode
Drag your video file into Voxdub from the browser. Automatic transcription pulls the original dialogue.
2. Adapt and time it on the rythmo band
Translate the lines and time them on the rythmo band scrolling under the picture, the lip-sync technique used by dubbing studios.
3. Record the voices
Each actor records their line following the rythmo band, with built-in noise reduction. Assign one character per voice.
4. Export for YouTube
Export the dubbed video in HD/4K, ready to post on YouTube or TikTok, or the audio files (BWF) and subtitles if you edit elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Can you dub an anime for free?
Yes, to start: the 7-day free trial lets you import an episode, dub it on the rythmo band and export. The Pro plan (€12.99/mo or €99/yr) then unlocks unlimited projects and exports.
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.
