How to Do a Voiceover on TikTok
TikTok can record your voice or read text aloud in-app. Here is how both work, and how to use a natural voice that does not sound robotic.
How to do a voiceover on TikTok
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.
In the TikTok editor, after recording or uploading your clips, tap the editing tools and find Voiceover (the microphone icon).
Drag the playhead to where the narration should start, press and hold to record, and release to stop.
For TikTok's built-in text to speech, add a text element, tap it, and choose Text to speech to have TikTok read it in one of its preset voices.
TikTok's own text-to-speech voices are a small, recognizable set. To use a natural, distinctive voice, generate the line in Cantari, then assemble the video with that audio in CapCut (TikTok's editor) and post it. CapCut has its own voiceover page below.
