How to do a voiceover

A voiceover is just a clean audio track timed to your visuals. Generate one from your script in seconds, then add it in your app of choice. Here is the platform-agnostic way, and the exact steps for every major app.

The shape of it

Three steps, any app.

01

Write and generate the voice

Paste your script into Cantari, pick a voice, and generate a natural read in seconds. Export the audio file. No microphone, no room noise, no retakes.

02

Add it in your app

Drop the audio onto a track, or insert it on a slide. Every app does this its own way, and each guide below has the exact steps.

03

Line it up and publish

Time the narration to the visuals, balance it against music, and export or post. Re-generate any line from text if the script changes.

Pick your app

Step-by-step for every platform.

Each guide has that app's real workflow, plus where a generated voice fits in.
