TikTok is rife with different effects and features, all of which enhance your videos and ensure that they are as entertaining as they are engaging and memorable.
Voice effects are designed to change the way your voice sounds and can be added to a voiceover or to any speech in your video. Some are comic while other replicate well-known voices or creatures, and others still add weight, context, or relevance to your words.
Whatever your reason for using voice effects, the benefits are wide-ranging and can instantly elevate your TikTok video. But what happens when you can’t find voice effects in the editing screen?
How to Find Voice Effects on TikTok
Before we go down the road of working out why you don’t have voice effects, let’s first look at how and where to find them.
Voice effects can only be added to videos which you record directly in TikTok.
That means that if you upload a video from your device or create a Duet TikTok video, you will not be able to access voice effects.
So, to find voice effects, head into the New TikTok screen and start recording, either creating one long video or a series of shorter segments. Once you’re happy with your video, select the checkmark and then find the icon of a microphone labelled with ‘Audio Editing’.
This is where you will find your voice effects.
Why Voice Effects May Not Work
If you’re uploading a video or trying to record a video via your device camera or another app, then you will not be able to access TikTok voice effects. This is because effects can only be added to audio which is recorded inside the app.
Another common reason why voice effects may not be working is that you have added a sound, song, or audio file to your video before searching for voice effects. Any other sound will mean that you can no longer access voice effects – meaning that if you want both a background song and a specific effect, you will need to edit and adjust the voice first.
Some other reasons why voice effects may not be working or accessible on your video include:
- You are trying to add voice effects to a duet video or a stitch video
- Your app is outdated
We hope this helps! Adding effects and filters to your speech and voiceover on a TikTok video is a fun way to uplift the content and make it truly unique and original.
