THE SHORT ANSWER
Here's the approach.
Resolve 20 adds direct voiceover recording to the Cut and Edit pages. On the Edit page, open Timeline > Record Voiceover or use the microphone button on the timeline toolbar. Select the input and destination track before recording.
When you stop, the playhead returns to the start of the take. Recording another take in the same place overwrites the visible timeline clip, while earlier takes remain in the Media Pool. For detailed ADR work, use Fairlight’s ADR tools.
