How to make a TikTok voice with Clipchamp  

Step 1. Upload your video or create a new video  

Clipchamp’s voiceover feature is free for all users. Start off with creating a new video in 9:16 aspect ratio. Either upload your existing video to the editor or create one from scratch inside the editor.  

To upload your video or media assets, click on the import media button and select your media.  

You can also use stock footage found in our stock video and stock images tab on the toolbar. Drag and drop your media onto the timeline.  

Step 2. Create a voiceover effect with our text to speech feature  

Next, click on the record and create tab on the toolbar, then click on the text to speech option.

The text to speech popup window will appear. In the text box, type in or copy and paste what you would like your voiceover to read out. 

Here, you can choose from over 400 lifelike voices with a range of accents, ages, and even feminine, masculine, and neutral tones. Select a language like English, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, German, and many more, and find the right speed for the narration of your video.

Click on the preview play button to listen to your voiceover. We have selected the voice Guy, with a cheerful tone and extra high pitch to mimic a dog’s inner thoughts.  

Once you select your voiceover features, click the save to media button to return to the editing timeline. 

Step 3. Add your TikTok voiceover to your video  

Drag and drop your new voiceover from your media library onto the timeline above your video.  

Step 4. Edit your voiceover  

If your voiceover doesn’t match up with your video, simply edit out the pauses in your text to speech or edit the speed. Click on the voiceover on the timeline so it’s highlighted green. Next, place your curser where you would like to split. Click on the split button.  

Split your audio again and delete the unwanted section by clicking on the delete button.  

You can adjust the speed of your voiceover using the speed controller in the property panel. The property panel also has options to edit your voiceover’s volume and the ability to add fades. Adding a fade in or fade out gives your TikTok video a more seamless start and ending.  

Step 5. Save your TikTok video  

Once you’re happy with your TikTok voiceover video, click on the export button. Select a video resolution to save. We recommend selecting 1080p HD for the best quality video for TikTok.  

Click save video to computer or upload your video to TikTok using the TikTok integration.  

TikTok 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 text to speech. 

• Ellipses (“ …”) add a long pause in your voiceover.  

• Question marks change the intonation of your voiceover.  

• Exclamation marks and typing in all caps don't change the delivery of your text to speech. 

• Pronunciation can be fixed with intentional misspelling words (spelling a word as it sounds). For numbers, try writing them out in full, for example, 1998 becomes “nineteen ninety-eight”.
