Overdub is Descript’s smart voice clone feature. You type and it talks back, in your voice or a slick AI-based tool. No more re-recording a full line just to tweak one word.
How It Works
You sign up, record a short voice sample or upload audio you already got, and bamit builds your voice model.
Then you just edit the text, and Overdub fills it in like your own vocal twin.
Natural Flow
It blends so well, it matches tone and cadences mid-sentence. Makes it feel it wasn’t AI at all.
Free vs Paid Access
Even on the free plan, you get Overdub with up to a 1,000-word vocab. Go Pro (or above), and you’re unlimited, baby.
