AI Dubbing

The use of artificial intelligence text-to-speech systems to generate spoken narration and character dialogue for media production. In accessible webtoon and comic production, AI dubbing offers a cost-effective alternative to professional voice actors, enabling scalable production of audio-described content. Current AI TTS systems can generate character-specific voices with distinct tones and styles, though they are often perceived as mechanical compared to human voice actors. Research recommends a hybrid pipeline: AI-generated narration as the default for most content, with professional voice actor recordings for pivotal dialogue and highly emotive scenes. Advanced AI TTS with character-level voice customization and sentence-level prosody editing can further improve expressiveness.
