Record jokes as Trump, Putin or Macron — your performance, their face and voice
Same Maskwave engine, the opposite intent: instead of hiding who you are, you step into a character. You perform the bit; Maskwave puts the face and the voice on top — and stamps every clip as parody.
Maskwave's parody mode lets you act out a sketch and map a public figure's face and voice onto your own performance, in one tap, entirely on your device. It launches with a cast of five world figures — Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Emmanuel Macron and Benjamin Netanyahu — and every export carries a visible 'Parody' label plus an embedded watermark that travels with the file. It's a comedy and satire tool, built to read as a joke by design — not a deepfake built to deceive.
The bit: your performance, their face and voice
Political impressions are as old as comedy — but doing them on camera used to mean hiring someone with the voice, the face and a prosthetics budget. Face-swap apps only paste a still photo onto your head. Voice cloners only do the audio. Neither gives you a performance.
Maskwave does. You write the bit and act it out — the rally cold open, the fake summit, the grave address about your roommate's dishes — and Maskwave maps a world figure's face and voice onto your take. Your timing, your words, your delivery; their face and voice riding on top. The same on-device engine that hides a creator's identity can just as easily lend you someone else's, in a single tap.
The cast
It launches with five world figures, ready to cast. You bring the script and the timing — Maskwave brings the impression.
- Donald Trump — the rally cadence, the superlatives, the hand chop. Give him your hot takes and let the 'tremendous, everybody's saying it' delivery do the rest.
- Vladimir Putin — the flat stare and the very long table. Perfect for the deadpan-villain monologue your sketch has been missing.
- Kim Jong Un — state-TV pomp and a triumphant ribbon-cutting for absolutely anything. Cast him in the bit, keep it absurd.
- Emmanuel Macron — the earnest, sweeping presidential address about the croissant supply chain. Très sérieux.
- Benjamin Netanyahu — the grave to-camera address with the dramatic pause. Hand it your punchline and let the gravitas sell it.
More public figures are added to the cast over time.
How it works: perform, cast, stamp & export
- Perform. Record your take in the app, or import a clip you've already shot. Maskwave is built for finished, recorded sketches — not a live stream filter.
- Cast it. Pick a character from the cast. One tap maps that figure's face and voice onto your performance — lips, expressions and delivery follow you, on-device, in a single pass.
- Stamp & export. Every clip exports with a visible 'Parody' label and an embedded watermark you can't quietly strip, ready for TikTok, Shorts or Reels — clearly a bit, by design.
Parody, on the record
There's a bright line between satire and a hoax, and this mode is built to sit firmly on the satire side of it. The 'Parody' label and the embedded watermark aren't a setting you toggle — they're part of the export, so a bit can't be quietly passed off as the real thing. And like the rest of Maskwave, the face and voice models run entirely on your own device, so your footage never touches a server.
That's the deliberate difference from a deepfake. A deepfake is built to be mistaken for real; a Maskwave clip is built to be obviously a joke — labeled, watermarked, and driven by your own performance rather than fabricated from nothing. Using it to defraud, defame or deceive is against the terms.

Tools built to deceive ship with no label and no watermark — that's the point of them, and the problem with them. Maskwave is built for comedy, so the 'this is parody' part isn't a checkbox you can forget; it's baked into the clip.

FAQ
Is this legal? Aren't these real people?
Parody and satire of public figures are long-established forms of protected expression — it's what impressionists, sketch shows and political cartoonists have always done. Maskwave is built for that use: every export is clearly labeled as parody and watermarked, so it reads as comedy, not as a genuine statement from the person. Using it to defraud, defame or deceive is against the terms.
Can I make them say something and pass it off as real?
No — that's the line the product is designed not to cross. Every clip carries a visible 'Parody' label and an embedded watermark that travels with the file, and there's no 'remove the label' switch. Maskwave is a comedy tool, not a deception tool.
Is this a deepfake?
It uses the same family of tech, but the intent is the opposite. A deepfake is built to be mistaken for real; a Maskwave clip is built to be obviously a bit — labeled, watermarked, and driven by your own performance rather than fabricated from nothing.
Who's in the cast?
It launches with Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Emmanuel Macron and Benjamin Netanyahu, with more public figures added over time. They're cast characters for satire — you supply the script and the timing.
Does it run on-device like the rest of Maskwave?
Yes. The face and voice models run on your own phone or desktop, so your footage never leaves the device — no cloud upload and no per-minute meter. Faster hardware just exports quicker.
