TikTok now lets users create AI simulations of their own voices within the app. We’ll cover how to use this feature for your videos.
Artificial intelligence is built into almost every platform you can think of, and TikTok is no exception. The platform’s latest AI feature lets you use your own voice for voiceovers.
AI voiceovers aren’t new to TikTok: you can already use the feature to add spoken content to your videos without having to record it yourself.
However, the text-to-speech feature previously only allowed you to use the default voices available on TikTok. Now, you can create your own AI voice. All you have to do is record a few lines out loud and save them for later use.
How to Use Your Own Voice for TikTok Text-to-Speech
- Press the button in the text box, designated as “Aa” on the far right of the screen. Type the words you want the voiceover to say.
- Press the Speech synthesis button above the text box.
- Press the Create your own voice option in the voice list. Record a few lines out loud to create an AI version of your voice that can be used with text-to-speech in TikTok videos. Your AI voice will be private and you can delete it at any time.
- Once you have added your AI voice, go back to the text-to-speech option and select your voice from there.
- Hide your text box if you only want the voiceover. That’s it.
To create your own voice for TikTok’s text-to-speech, you need to create a new video. Then, start by tapping the text box button on the far right of the screen, marked “Aa.”
In the text box that appears, type the words you want to hear. Then tap the Text-to-speech button above the text box.
You will now see a menu with a variety of voices to choose from, referred to as characters like “Ruby” and “Trickster.”
From the available options, select “Create your own voice”. You will be prompted to record a few lines out loud to generate an AI version of your voice.
This AI voice will be used for text-to-speech in your TikTok videos and remains private; you can delete it whenever you want.
After creating your AI voice, go back to the Text-to-Speech options and choose your newly recorded voice from the list. If you prefer to have just the voiceover without showing the text box, you can hide it.
