Etymology: "Revoiced" is the past tense and past participle of "revoice", a verb formed from the prefix "re-", meaning again, and "voice". The base "voice" comes from Old French "voiz", itself from Latin "vox", "vocis", meaning sound or utterance, so the whole word simply means to give a voice to something once more. The construction is transparent: "revoice" follows the same pattern as "reword", "replay" or "recast", attaching "re-" to an established noun-turned-verb. Its sense has shifted from the literal idea of speaking again to the more specialised work of re-recording a performance or rendering a passage in a new delivery, particularly in film, audio and music production.
