How to Do a Voiceover on CapCut

CapCut can record, read text aloud, or play an audio file you import. Here is each path, and how to bring in a natural generated voice.

Step by step

How to do a voiceover on CapCut

  1. Generate the voice in Cantari: paste your script, pick a voice, and generate a natural read in seconds, then export the audio file (MP3 on every plan, WAV on paid plans). No microphone, no retakes.

  2. To import a ready voice: open Audio, then choose to add audio from your device or files, and drop the clip onto a track under your video.

  3. To record instead: open Audio, then Voiceover, position the playhead, and record over the timeline.

  4. Align the audio clip under the matching video, then adjust clip volumes so the narration sits on top.

CapCut has built-in text to speech, but its voices are shared presets. Importing a voice you generated in Cantari keeps the result distinctive, and because CapCut exports straight to TikTok and Reels, this is the cleanest way to put a natural AI voice on a short video.

Straight answers

Voiceover on CapCut, answered.

Can I import my own voice audio into CapCut?
Yes. Use Audio, then add from your device, and drop the file onto a track. That is how you bring in a natural voice generated elsewhere.
Is CapCut's text to speech the same as a real voiceover?
It reads your text in preset voices. For something more natural and less recognizable, generate the voice separately and import the file.
Will my voiceover carry over when I export to TikTok?
Yes. CapCut bakes the audio into the exported video, so the voiceover travels with it to TikTok, Reels, or anywhere you post.
