Beyond Creative

Beyond Creative, in collaboration with Kan 11, set out to produce Meshi Zahav — a powerful and emotionally intense docu-series exposing one of Israel’s most shocking abuse scandals. Yehuda Meshi Zahav, once revered as a national hero, was revealed to have perpetrated systemic abuse over four decades. For the first time, dozens of survivors—both women and men—came forward to break their silence.

However, the series faced a critical production challenge: preserving the anonymity of the victims while retaining the emotional authenticity of their testimonies. Conventional post-production methods such as voice distortion or subtitle overlay were not suitable for the emotional weight and narrative intimacy the creators sought to maintain. A new, scalable, and ethically sound solution was needed—one that could deliver broadcast-quality results without compromising the integrity or privacy of the speakers.

To meet these complex demands, Deepdub implemented its advanced eTTS™ (emotive Text-to-Speech) technology within the Deepdub GO platform. This enabled complete voice replacement in Hebrew with synthetic voices that sounded natural, emotionally expressive, and fully distinct from the original speakers.

The Deepdub process included:

• Secure ingestion and analysis of the original interviews‍
• Script generation and voice matching tailored to each testimony's tone and cadence
• Full vocal anonymization, with no digital footprint linking back to the original voices
• Collaborative review workflows with the creators and Kan 11 editorial leads to ensure emotional fidelity, legal compliance, and storytelling integrity
• Broadcast-ready audio mastering to integrate the new voices seamlessly into the final edit
  

This solution not only met ethical and production standards but also created space for a more authentic emotional experience for viewers—one where victims could speak without fear.

Technology Impact and Key Achievements:

Workflow Enhancement:
Deepdub GO replaced a traditionally fragmented and manual dubbing process with a streamlined, secure pipeline. The platform enabled rapid turnaround, iterative reviews, and emotionally precise vocal casting—all while maintaining the highest production standards. This transformation drastically improved post-production agility for sensitive content.

Scalability:
By automating complex elements like speaker segmentation, voice creation, and alignment, Deepdub supported multiple testimonial tracks per episode—without the time, cost, or coordination overhead typical of traditional dubbing. The team was able to scale the process efficiently across the entire series.

Time to Market:
With Deepdub GO, Beyond Creative was able to deliver the full docu-series to Kan 11 on time, despite the intricate nature of the audio workflows and multiple stakeholder approvals. Turnaround times were significantly reduced compared to conventional voice actor casting and recording.

Preserving Voice Authenticity and Anonymity:
Deepdub’s voice technology didn’t just mask the identities—it empowered storytelling. The new synthetic voices carried emotional nuance while remaining untraceable to the real speakers, fulfilling both creative and legal requirements with precision.
