Dub cartoons in your own voice

Hit the button for a random scene from a Soyuzmultfilm cartoon, sound off: Prostokvashino, Winnie-the-Pooh, Kid and Karlsson, Well, Just You Wait!, The Mystery of the Third Planet and some thirty more. Voice every character yourself — the cat, the postman, Karlsson, the wolf and the hare — then record your dub and watch the cartoon with your own voice.

What to dub

How it works

  1. Hit "Give me a scene" — a random clip from the official Soyuzmultfilm channel embeds, auto-plays, sound off.
  2. Watch the characters on screen and start speaking their lines right away. Change your tone and pitch for each character.
  3. Don't try to guess the original dialogue — invent your own. The point is to match the emotion and rhythm of the scene.
  4. When it gets stale, hit "Another scene." You can turn on a 30/60/90-sec timer for discipline.
  5. Want to see your own dub? Hit "Record dub." After a countdown the scene starts from the top and your mic records you. "Watch dub" replays the same scene with your voice: you can download the audio and send friends a link to the scene.

Tips

  • A cartoon voice is an exaggeration. A cat drawls lazily, a mouse talks fast and high, a bear speaks slow and deep. Go big: what would be overacting in a movie is exactly right in a cartoon.
  • Don't copy famous characters — give them a new personality. A fussy Karlsson, a timid wolf or a kind-hearted postman is funnier than trying to copy the original.
  • Sound effects are on you too: footsteps, a creaking door, a "bonk" when someone falls. Cartoons are full of them, and a dub without them feels empty.
  • It's even more fun in pairs or as a family: everyone takes a character. Record a take and watch it together.

Common questions

Which cartoons are in the set?

Almost forty cartoons from the official Soyuzmultfilm YouTube channels: Prostokvashino, Winnie-the-Pooh, Kid and Karlsson, Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena, Well, Just You Wait!, The Bremen Town Musicians, A Kitten Named Woof, Return of the Prodigal Parrot, The Mystery of the Third Planet, Mowgli, Boniface's Holiday, fairy tales like The Twelve Months and The Humpbacked Horse — plus newer series: New Prostokvashino and The Orange Cow.

Is it suitable for kids?

Yes: every cartoon comes from the studio's official channels, and YouTube marks them as made for kids. A child has to invent on the spot what the character says and say it in that character's voice — a great warm-up for speech and imagination. Little ones do best dubbing together with a grown-up, taking turns, one character each.

How do I record my own cartoon dub?

Get a scene and hit "Record dub." After the "3, 2, 1" countdown the cartoon plays from the start of the scene and your mic records you; "Stop" ends the take. "Watch dub" shows the same scene with your voice, and you can download the audio. The recording is never uploaded — it lives only in this tab.

Can I dub movies too?

Yes: the switch above the scene swaps cartoons for Soviet Mosfilm movies — The Diamond Arm, Ivan Vasilievich, Kin-dza-dza! and some forty more.
