What is the TikTok AI voice feature?

The TikTok AI voice feature that lets you turn text and voice recordings into audio to enhance your videos. It’s a built-in tool that helps make video editing more efficient, as you don’t have to record your own voice. Instead, you can choose from TikTok’s range of AI-generated voices, like ‘Jessie’ or ‘Adam’.

Just type in the text you want the AI voice generator to say, pick your AI TikTok voice, and the audio will be added to your video. This feature is useful for everything from day-in-the-life videos to behind-the-scenes sneak peaks and product reviews.

Why do people use AI voiceovers on TikTok?

TikTok AI voice generators can help you add a whole new level of creativity to your videos. To help you understand just how much of a difference this feature can make, here are some of the benefits:

• Accessibility. Adding an AI voiceover to your TikTok video can make your content more accessible to those who are visually impaired. The voice narrates the video so they can better engage with it and understand what’s happening.
• Provide additional information. AI voices can complement your visuals and provide users with extra detail – whether it be background information on a product you’re reviewing or a restaurant you’re visiting.
• Humorous commentary. Hearing a joke or a comedic situation being dryly narrated by a voiceover can add to the humour.
• No need to use your own voice. If you’re a bit audio-shy, don’t worry – you can use an AI voiceover for your TikTok videos and avoid recording your own voice. It makes the uploading process a bit faster, too.
• Boost engagement. 88% of TikTok users state that sound is essential to the TikTok experience. So, adding a voiceover can make your content more appealing – and viral-worthy.
• Privacy. You may not want to use your voice for privacy, security or safety reasons. An AI voiceover can be used on TikTok videos to protect your identity.

How to add and use the AI voice on TikTok: A step-by-step guide.

If you’d like to try out using TikTok’s AI voiceover tool, we’ve got a handy step-by-step guide to help you out. Here’s how to use AI voice on TikTok:

1. Create your video.

The first step in creating your masterpiece is putting together the TikTok video itself. Click on the app and go to the home screen, then tap the ‘Plus’ button located at the bottom centre of your screen. You can then record a video directly in the app or upload one from your camera roll.

2. Apply text-to-speech.

Select the “Aa” text box button on the far right and type the script you want your voiceover to recite. You can also record a voiceover and then later use the AI ’voice effects’ to alter the sound of your voice.

3. Choose your AI voice.

If you used text, just tap the ‘Text-to-speech’ button just above your text box. You’ll see a menu with AI voiceovers to choose from, including characters like ‘Granny’ and ‘Jessie’. Select a voice to hear a sample. The app categorises different AI voices by tone and use, for example, if you’re creating a funny video, just click on the ‘Humour’ tab.

Likewise, if you recorded your own voiceover, you can choose a suitable filter from ‘voice effects’.

4. Edit your video.

TikTok has a variety of video editing tools to help create your content. From video transitions to a range of subtitle fonts, you’ve got everything you need all in one place. For example, don’t forget to adjust your AI voiceover’s volume to ensure people can hear it clearly, or to prevent it from overpowering the original sound.

5. Share or schedule your TikTok.

Once you're pleased with your TikTok and AI voiceover, hit the checkmark and save your changes. Be sure to throw in some hashtags, a description and any other features. You can then schedule when you’d like your content to be uploaded or select the red ‘Next’ button to publish straight away.
