Morphology

revoice = voice (transparent) = re + voice

With the production-related verb 'voice', 're-' plainly signals doing the voicing again or anew.

Etymology

Revoice joins re- ('again') and voice ('sound' of a person). So, to revoice a character in film or audio is to give them a new recorded voice or re-record their lines to match a new actor or language.
