Add Voiceover to Video
record it, or let AI read it.

A good voiceover makes a simple video feel finished. Most of the difference comes from the script and the room, not the microphone.

Write the script first

Even a casual voiceover is better from notes. Write short sentences, one idea each, and read it aloud once before recording. Our guide to voiceover scripts that sound human shows how to write for the ear.

Record in a quiet, soft room

Hard, empty rooms echo. Record in a room with curtains, a bed or a wardrobe of clothes, close the windows, and switch off fans. Keep the microphone a hand's width from your mouth — a headset or phone earphone mic is often better than a laptop's built-in one.

Record in parts

Record one section at a time while watching the matching footage. If you stumble, pause, then repeat the sentence — you can cut the mistake out later by splitting the voice track.

Or let AI read it

If you'd rather not use your own voice, generate the voiceover with text to speech. Native Hindi voices work well for Hindi scripts; try a couple of voices for Hinglish.

Mix it

• Voice first: it should be the loudest thing whenever someone is speaking.
• Music low underneath, and fade it out at the end.
• Original video sound: lower it or mute it if it fights the voice.

On paid plans, keyframe the music volume so it dips only while the voice plays. See add music to video.

Add captions

Many viewers watch on mute. Paste your script into Captions to put the words on screen — see add text to video.

Voiceover styles that work

Match your energy to the edit: fast cuts need a quicker read; slow, wide shots need room to breathe.
