Lines sound like they are being read
Generic text to speech pronounces the words correctly but misses the relationships and tension in the scene.
VOICE17 · AI COMIC DUBBING
AI voices thatact out every character
Don’t just read the script — let each character perform it. Multi-character, emotional AI dubbing for manga recaps, webtoons, motion comics and story videos.
What is Voice17?
Voice17 is an AI voice platform built for comic and story creators. It lets you cast a separate voice for every character, control the emotion of each line, reuse the same character voice across episodes, and generate long stories in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. You can choose from more than 700,000 voices or clone your own, on the web, iOS or Android.
Why generic AI voiceover breaks immersion in comics
A comic video isn’t a paragraph to read aloud. It builds characters, relationships and pacing scene after scene.
Characters blur together
When several characters share similar timbre and delivery, viewers lose track of who is speaking.
Voices drift between episodes
A serialized comic needs the same character to sound recognizably the same in episode 1 and episode 40.
Strong emotions feel fake
Anger, grief, fear, restraint and outbursts each need their own pacing and intensity, not just more volume.
Four capabilities built for story content
Natural emotional delivery
Choose the emotion a line needs so dialogue sounds performed, not recited.
700,000+ voices
Find the right voice for narrators, teens, young women, mature characters, villains and creatures.
Clear character separation
Assign a different voice to each role so every character has its own audio identity.
Built for long stories
Long-text generation and saved voices keep weekly episodes moving.

AI comic dubbing FAQ
What is AI comic dubbing?
AI comic dubbing means using AI voices to perform the narration and dialogue of a comic-based video — manga recaps, webtoon stories, motion comics or animated shorts. Instead of one narrator reading everything, each character gets its own voice and emotional delivery.
Which kinds of comic videos is Voice17 good for?
Manga and manhwa recaps, webtoon stories, motion comics, fantasy and cultivation series, horror and mystery stories, romance drama, anime-style shorts, and any story video that needs a narrator plus multiple characters.
Can I give different characters different voices?
Yes. Pick separate voices for the narrator, protagonist, side characters and villains from the voice library, so viewers can tell characters apart by ear.
Can a character keep the same voice across episodes?
Yes. Save the voices you like to your library and reuse them in later episodes. We recommend locking in each character voice and keeping a test clip before full production.
Which languages are supported?
Voice17 currently supports English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean voice creation.
Can I use AI comic dubbing commercially?
Paid plans include commercial-use rights for the generated audio. You are still responsible for having the rights to the script, characters, artwork, voice samples and any IP you use. See the pricing page and Terms of Service for details.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. You can try voices and generate speech for free, then upgrade when you need more usage, downloads or commercial rights.

Start with a single line and hear which voices fit your story.
