Voice Overs

This isn't a tutorial teaching you how to record voice overs and combine them with video clips. Instead, we are looking into the world of text-to-speech, AI-generated voices, and AI avatars. We know what you're thinking: "But I don't want to have a robotlike voice over in my video!" Well, we don't want that either. That's why we're going to show you how to create stunning videos with human-sounding voice overs with a little help from AI.

Let's dive in!

AI voice overs (text-to-speech)

This sounds like something out of a futuristic sci-fi movie, but AIgenerated voices are more common than you think. Think Siri, Alexa, Cortana, and the voice on your GPS. All of these voices are based on real humans but generated using deep learning technology, and using text-to-speech (TTS) for voice over videos is becoming more and more commonplace. There are many many videos online we could show as examples.

✅ Pros: no microphones or software needed affordable - the price depends on the service provider instant results - upload/paste the text, click the export button, and download the audio file voice overs in multiple languages - you don't need to speak a language to create a voice over partial control over pronunciation and emphasis using SSMLif the pronunciation isn't quite right, you can adjust it using Speech Synthesis Markup Language consistent audio quality - you don't need to worry about background noise

❌ Cons:

limited voice options for lesser-spoken languages - the fewer people in the world speak the language, the fewer voice options there are for that language limited range of emotions - while the technology has gotten pretty good at sounding human-like, the range of emotional expression is still limited
