AI Voice Cloning for ADR: Budget & Planning Impact?

Posted by David Kim in Post-Production 0 views · 3 replies

Hey everyone, David here. I'm an editor, currently cutting a drama shot on an ALEXA Mini with a mix of MKH 416 booms and 6060 lavs. We’ve got some pretty specific ADR needs coming up, more than anticipated. I've been hearing a lot about tools like ElevenLabs and their ability to generate actor voice clones for dialogue replacement. It's intriguing, especially given some of the budget constraints we're facing and the tricky schedules of our talent.

My question is, for those of you who have explored or even implemented AI voice cloning for ADR, how has this actually changed your approach to planning and budgeting for dialogue replacement? Are you finding significant savings? Does it open up new creative avenues or present new challenges in the editorial workflow? Genuinely curious to hear how this is shaking up people's processes.
