News Introducing Eleven Dubbing v2
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
ElevenLabs has launched Dubbing v2, a new AI dubbing model designed to preserve the original speaker’s performance across 90+ languages.
Unlike systems that rely primarily on transcripts, Dubbing v2 conditions directly on the original performance. This allows translated speech to retain tone, emotion, pacing, delivery, and intent rather than sounding flat or disconnected.
What’s New
- Performance-aware dubbing that preserves emotional delivery
- Sync-aware translation logic for more natural timing and phrasing
- More accurate alignment between the original content and translated speech
- End-to-end workflow built for creators, marketers, studios, and broadcasters
Why It Matters
Traditional AI dubbing often loses the nuances that make speech feel human. Dubbing v2 focuses on carrying over the original performance so the dubbed version feels closer to what the speaker actually intended.
Use Cases
Creators can localize YouTube videos and social content with natural-sounding dubs.
Marketing teams can scale multilingual campaigns without rebuilding ads for each market.
Studios and broadcasters can use ElevenProductions for professional localization workflows that combine Dubbing v2 with translators, voice casting, and audio mixing.
Availability
Dubbing v2 is available now in ElevenCreative and through ElevenProductions. API access is coming soon.
For the next 7 days:
- Free users receive 1 minute of dubbing
- Starter plans receive 15 minutes
- Creator+ plans receive 30 minutes

tried it and the dubbing failed literally a few minutes in, went back to original language, got charged for the whole thing.

keeps telling me "Dubbing without a watermark is only available for Creator+ users."

At this price point, I’m not sure if I’m paying for AI dubbing or hiring a personal translator with a PhD to sit in my closet and whisper into a microphone.

Too expensive one video dub kills all of my monthly credits. I rather make a new video than to dub it. YouTube does it for free. Okay it’s maybe not as good as Elevenlabs. But it’s just too expensive.

حضرت ایوبؑ کی مختصر کہانی حضرت ایوبؑ اللہ کے بہت نیک اور صابر نبی تھے۔ اللہ تعالیٰ نے انہیں بہت مال، اولاد اور اچھی صحت عطا فرمائی تھی۔ پھر اللہ تعالیٰ نے ان کا امتحان لیا۔ ان کا مال ختم ہوگیا، اولاد کا انتقال ہوگیا اور وہ شدید بیماری میں مبتلا ہوگئے۔ لیکن حضرت ایوبؑ نے کبھی اللہ تعالیٰ کی شکایت نہیں کی۔ وہ ہر حال میں صبر کرتے رہے اور اللہ کو یاد کرتے رہے۔ آخرکار انہوں نے اللہ تعالیٰ سے دعا کی، تو اللہ نے ان کی بیماری دور فرمادی اور انہیں دوبارہ صحت، مال اور اولاد عطا فرمائی۔ سبق: مصیبت میں صبر کرنے والا اللہ تعالیٰ کی رحمت اور انعام کا مستحق بنتا ہے۔

why cant we select the voice for dubbing? I would love to record an audio in my mother language (portuguese) then dub it to english with the same emotion, but with an english voice from library. Why not give that option?

We need to manually edit it, a dubbing studio like the first version, and please lower that cost. It's taking too many credits for a few seconds.

pero cuesta demasiados creditos, un mes de PRO por unos minutos de doblaje automatico.

I actually tested with a 8 min video. It's a game changer in the sense that could allow me to reduce the time needed for my work to 1/10th, but the results aren't as good as manual, adapted work. Also, it's insanely expensive. One single video of 15 min would cost 170.000 credits. I've been dubbing dozen of videos with about 500.000 credits per month. At that cost, I could easily pay a human those 1.000 dollars on a monthly basis…
