2. Meet the rythmo band
Time the text on the rythmo band scrolling under the picture: it's the visual cue that tells you when to speak to stay in sync.
3. Record your voice
Follow the rythmo band and record your lines, with built-in noise reduction. Redo a take as many times as you need.

Export your fandub in HD/4K, ready for YouTube, TikTok or Discord.

Frequently asked questions
What is fandub, for a beginner?
Fandub is dubbing a video (anime, game, film) out of passion, replacing the original voices with yours or your friends'. You learn by doing, on real clips.
Do you need gear to start?
No. A browser and a mic (even a headset one) are enough. Voxdub adds built-in noise reduction to improve the result.
How do you stay in sync as a beginner?
The rythmo band scrolls under the picture and tells you when to speak. You follow the text: it's the cue that replaces guesswork.
Can you fandub as a team when you're starting out?
Yes. Assign a character to each line and split the roles with your friends: everyone records their part.
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.
