How to make a TikTok voiceover with AI text to speech
Step 1. Import your TikTok video or select stock media
To import your own videos, photos, and audio, click on the import media button in the your media tab on the toolbar to browse your computer files, or connect your OneDrive.
You can also use free stock media like video clips, video backgrounds, and stock music. Click on the content library tab on the toolbar and click on the visuals drop down arrow, then videos. Search through the different stock categories using the search bar as well.
Drag and drop your video onto the timeline.
Step 2. Use the AI text to speech generator
Click on the record & create tab, then click on the text to speech option. The text to speech tab will appear on the property panel.
Next, select a language and voice, then edit the pace and pitch in the advanced settings.
Once you have selected your voice, add your text to the text box. Type in what you’d like to say in your voiceover into the text box on the property panel. Once you have added your text, click on the preview button to listen to your voiceover. Click on the save button to add your voiceover to your video.
Pro tip: Remember there is a maximum duration of 10 minutes per voiceover. If you would like to create a voiceover longer than 10 minutes, just create multiple voiceovers to add to the timeline.
Step 3. Preview and save your TikTok video
Before saving your TikTok video, make sure to preview by clicking on the play button. When you’re ready to save, click on the export button and select a video resolution. We recommend saving all videos in 1080p video resolution for the best quality. Paid subscribers can save in 4K video resolution.
Upload your video directly to your TikTok account using the TikTok integration.

TikTok AI voiceover writing tips
Look at some of our AI text to speech tips and tricks to make your perfect TikTok voiceover.
Full stops add a moderate pause to your text to speech.
Commas add a short pause to your AI text to speech.
Ellipses (“ …”) add a long pause in your AI voiceover.
Question marks change the intonation of your voiceover.
Exclamation marks and typing in all caps don't change the delivery of your AI text to speech.

Frequently asked questions
What are TikTok’s video specifications?
We recommend creating all TikTok videos in 9:16 aspect ratio, saving in 1080p video resolution for the best quality for social media, and limiting them to 5-seconds to 60-seconds in length. All TikTok video uploads must be MP4 and MOV files. If you’re creating a TikTok ad, TikTok also supports AVI and GIF files.
Why are my TikTok voice effects not showing inside the app?
TikTok doesn’t allow you to add their voice effects to videos not recorded in the app. If you’re trying to add a TikTok voiceover to your video inside the app and it isn’t working, make sure you’re recording your video directly in the app. We recommend creating videos with voiceovers in Clipchamp to avoid this error.
Why do people use TikTok voice effects?
TikTok voice effects allow creators to change their current voice to sound like absolutely anything. From chipmunks to robot voices and lower baritones, the options are endless. So, adding a voice effect to any video is one of the easiest ways to jump on a trend, level up your TikTok video, avoid missing viral opportunities, and entertain your viewers.
Can I watch TikTok videos without sound?
Yes. Viewers can watch any TikTok without sound on the TikTok app, so we recommend creators to add autocaptions to videos to make them more accessible.
Can I download my TikTok sound from Clipchamp?
No. Clipchamp does not let you download MP3 files. However, you can export your videos SRT file by using our autocaptions feature and downloading a video transcript.
