TikTok is renowned for its engaging content and compelling videos. The app encourages users and creators to develop new video concepts as well as reframe existing content into a new format. One of the best ways of producing TikTok’s which fit into the latter category is through voiceovers.
But how do you add a voiceover to a TikTok – and what are the benefits?
Why add a voiceover to a TikTok?
Whether added to your own video or as additional commentary on an existing piece of content, a voiceover helps to make a TikTok stand out. It can add context, add a new tone or message, or inject comedy value to a TikTok.
For those creators who don’t like talking directly to the camera, or who want to capture and visually show one thing while talking about something else, adding a voiceover is a quick and easy way of layering edited commentary on top of your video or footage. And best of all, it’s super easy to do.
5 steps to add a voiceover to your TikTok
- Open TikTok and select the plus sign in the centre of the bottom menu along your screen.
- Select the images you want to add to your TikTok along with any relevant footage.
- Make sure that your TikTok is being edited as a video, then swipe up to access the video editing screen.
- Click on the sound icon along the bottom of the screen and select ‘Voiceover’
- You need to make sure that you are recording your voiceover in time with what you want it to match with visually. So scroll to the section of your video that you want to enhance with a voiceover and then record your audio clip.
And voila! You can play back your TikTok at any time to check the audio matched the visual, before completing and sharing your new post with followers! We hope this helps.
