Choicer Voicer Dub Mode
Step into the director's chair with Dub Mode in The Choicer Voicer. Perform live, synchronized voiceovers over real video scenes, isolate background audio, and learn how to create your own movie dub packs.
What is Dub Mode in The Choicer Voicer?
Introduced in version 0.5.0+, Dub Mode elevates vocal party gaming by tying live microphone performances directly to full-motion video clips. Instead of reading audio prompts in a vacuum, you see the actual movie or anime scene playing on screen.
The engine automatically mutes the original character dialogue when your recording begins while keeping background music, explosions, and sound effects playing seamlessly via the isolated _backing_track layer.
Video playback runs in lockstep with millisecond countdown bars and subtitle displays.
Background soundtrack and ambient Foley effects stay active while character dialogue is muted for you to voice.
Split dialogue lines between multiple players in local co-op (e.g., one voices Fiona while another voices Shrek).
