Voice-Over Studio: Re-voice Any Audio for $0.06 (16 Cheaper Than ElevenLabs)

ElevenLabs charges $1.00+ to re-voice a 5-minute audio clip.

We built a better workflow for $0.06.

What is Voice-Over Studio?

Upload any audio. We transcribe it, detect every speaker, and let you assign a different voice to each one. Then we re-generate the whole thing with our TTS models.

Change the host's voice. Replace the guest. Edit the script. Remove filler words. One workflow, four steps.

How it works

1. Upload your audio

Drop an mp3, wav, m4a, or any common format. We transcribe it automatically using Whisper V3 with speaker diarization — each speaker gets their own labeled track.

2. Edit the transcript

Fix typos, rewrite lines, remove filler words. Each segment is a plain text field. The original audio stays playable for reference.

3. Pick a voice for each speaker

Browse 238+ curated voices by category: podcast hosts, narrators, gaming characters, meditation guides, news anchors, kids. Preview any voice before selecting.

4. Generate and download

Every segment gets generated with the assigned voice, then stitched together. One audio file, ready to download.

The economics

Provider 5-min re-voicing Multi-speaker
ElevenLabs Dubbing ~$1.00
LeanVox Voice-Over ~$0.06

16× cheaper. Your $1.00 signup credit covers 15+ sessions.

Breakdown:

  • Transcription: $0.002/min × 5 min = $0.01
  • TTS generation (Pro): $0.01/1K chars × ~5,000 chars = $0.05
  • Total: ~$0.06

Via API

from leanvox import Leanvox

client = Leanvox(api_key="lv_live_...")

# Step 1: Transcribe + detect speakers
transcript = client.audio.transcribe(
    file="podcast.mp3",
    features=["transcribe", "diarize"]
)

# Step 2: Assign voices and re-generate
segments = [
    {
        "speaker": "host",
        "text": seg.text,
        "voice": "podcast_casual_host_m"
    }
    for seg in transcript.segments
    if seg.speaker == "SPEAKER_0"
]

result = client.tts.dialogue(segments=segments, model="pro")
