Learn how it works and how to enable speaker coach while making a video in Clipchamp.

What is speaker coach in Clipchamp?

Speaker coach is a free AI feature that delivers personalized feedback on videos and audio recorded inside Clipchamp.

The AI technology evaluates the pace and intonation of your speech, making suggestions to improve the overall engagement of your audio track. Speaker coach can also flag your use of filler words such as “umms” and repetitive phrases to show how you can make your audio sound more polished. 

Speaker coach insights are shared in a simple report after you finish a screen and webcam recording or voice recording. Apply the advice while recording retakes or simply keep the information to practice your communication skills later. 

The AI speaker coach isn’t just for recording speeches—it’s a must-have tool for recording professional work videos and engaging educational videos. Applying the insights can help you record impactful audio for your presentation voiceover, virtual learning videos, training videos, and more. 

Tips for using speaker coach

If you’re creating a presentation video or following a video script, take a look at these helpful tips. 

  • Set up: make sure your internal or external microphone is connected and check that your internet connection is strong.   

  • Recording: speaker coach will work best if only one person is speaking at a time and if the video is recorded in a quiet place to help avoid misinterpretations. 

  • Analysis: save your personalized voice coaching analysis by taking a screenshot. 

How to use speaker coach when recording a video or voiceover 

Users recording a video or audio with the screen and webcam recorder, online webcam recorder, screen recorder, and audio recorder have the ability to use speaker coach.

Please note that speaker coach is powered by Microsoft Speech Services and is one of the cloud-enhanced features in Microsoft 365. Your speech utterances will be sent to Microsoft in a secure manner to provide you with this service. 

Step 1. Select a recording feature

To use the speaker coach feature, you must record your video directly in Clipchamp. Click on the record & create tab on the toolbar, then click either screen and camera, camera, screen, or audio button.

Step 4. Review speaker coach analysis
