How do you make a video with an AI voiceover?

Write the narration as you want it heard, choose a voice that fits the subject, and let an AI video tool read it, generate a picture for each line and add word-timed captions and music. Punctuation controls the pacing, so use full stops for pauses and spell out anything with an unusual pronunciation. If you already have footage, you need an editor that lays a voice over it instead; a voiceover video generator makes the visuals too.

  • Veedio narrates with ElevenLabs voices: 20 stock voices across 29 languages.
  • Captions are burned in and timed to each spoken word, in nine caption styles including None.
  • On Pro and Studio you can clone your own voice; cloning anyone else’s voice is not offered.
  • Veedio does not accept uploaded audio or video; every scene and voice track is generated.
  • An eight-scene, 60-second narrated video costs 19 credits with still images.

Writing a script a synthetic voice reads well

AI voices are good now, but they read exactly what is on the page. A comma is a short breath, a full stop is a real pause, and a long sentence with three clauses is read in one rushed line. If you want a beat before the reveal, put a full stop before it.

Write numbers the way you want them said. “1,200” may be read as “one thousand two hundred” when you meant “twelve hundred”; “Dr.” can become “doctor” or “drive”. Spell out anything ambiguous, and write brand names or unusual place names phonetically if the first take mispronounces them.

Write for one listener. “You” beats “viewers”, contractions beat formal phrasing, and a question at the start of a scene gives the voice something natural to do with its tone.

Making a voiceover video

  1. 1

    Write or paste the narration

    Type a topic and let the generator write the script, or paste your own. Keep each sentence to one breath, since each usually becomes one scene.

  2. 2

    Choose the voice and language

    Pick a voice from the table above and the narration language, any of the 29 supported. The captions follow the same language.

  3. 3

    Read the script before rendering

    The script shows scene by scene. Fix pronunciations, split long sentences, and move the most important line earlier.

  4. 4

    Pick the look and captions

    Documentary visuals and Highlight captions are the default for this preset. Use Karaoke for lyrics-like pacing, Subtle for calm content, None if you add captions elsewhere.

  5. 5

    Set music under the voice

    Lo-fi or No music for talky content, Cinematic for stories, Uplifting for promos. The music is mixed under the narration.

  6. 6

    Render and listen once with headphones

    Check every name and number is spoken the way you intended. Free line fixes let you correct a line and re-voice it.

  7. 7

    Publish and disclose

    Post to TikTok, Reels and Shorts from the app, or download the MP4. If the voice could be taken for a real, identifiable person, disclose it as synthetic on each platform.

Worked example: a 45-second narrated science short (voice: George)

6 scenes · about 45 seconds

  1. Scene 1

    Leaves do not turn yellow in autumn. They were yellow all along.

    Visual: Documentary-style close shot of a single maple leaf, half green and half gold, backlit by low autumn sun.

    On screen: Why leaves change colour

  2. Scene 2

    All summer, a green pigment called chlorophyll covers everything else.

    Visual: A dense green tree canopy seen from below in midsummer, sunlight flickering through the leaves.

  3. Scene 3

    When the days shorten, the tree stops making it. The green breaks down.

    Visual: A park path in early autumn, the light lower and warmer, the first trees beginning to turn.

  4. Scene 4

    And the yellows and oranges that were hiding underneath finally show.

    Visual: A birch grove in bright gold, leaves glowing against a pale blue sky.

  5. Scene 5

    The reds are different. Some trees make those new, in the last weeks of the season.

    Visual: A deep red maple beside a still lake, its reflection perfectly mirrored in the water.

  6. Scene 6

    So next time you walk through a gold forest, you are seeing the colour of summer, finally uncovered.

    Visual: A person seen from behind walking down a leaf-covered forest trail, golden light, peaceful.

    On screen: Look closer this autumn

Pacing tips

  • Use a full stop before any reveal to get a natural pause.
  • Keep the first line under about ten words, so it lands in the first seconds.
  • Avoid parentheses and dashes in narration; rewrite them as separate sentences.
  • Put the subject at the start of the sentence, not the end.
  • End on a short line. Long final sentences trail off.

Mistakes

  • Choosing a hyped voice for a serious topic, or a documentary voice for a playful one.
  • Pasting text written for reading, full of long clauses, and expecting it to sound natural.
  • Leaving abbreviations and numbers for the voice to guess.
  • Switching voices between videos in the same series.
  • Trying to make a voice that imitates a real person. Clone only your own voice, and only on plans that offer it.
  • Expecting to upload your own footage for the voice to go over; this kind of tool generates the visuals.

FAQ

Questions people ask next

Can I add an AI voiceover to a video I already filmed?

Not in Veedio; it does not accept uploaded video or audio, because it generates the scenes and voice together. For your own footage, use a video editor with a text-to-speech or voiceover feature.

Can I use my own voice?

On Pro and Studio, read a short script aloud or upload a recording to clone your own voice, then narrate any video with it. Only your own voice, or one you have permission to use.

Which AI voice sounds most natural?

It depends on the content. Rachel and Chris sound most like a person talking to you; George and Adam suit narration. Try the same two lines in two voices before deciding.

Can the voiceover be in another language?

Yes, any of the 29 supported languages, including Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese and Portuguese (Brazil). The captions follow the narration language.

Do I need to disclose an AI voice?

Platforms ask for disclosure when synthetic media is realistic enough to mislead, for example a voice that sounds like a real, identifiable person. A clearly stock narrator over illustrative scenes is lower risk, but disclosure is the honest default.

How much does a voiceover video cost?

Every full video needs a paid plan, starting at Starter for $19 monthly with 600 credits. A 60-second, eight-scene video with stills uses 19 credits. The first payment has a 7-day money-back guarantee.
