How to narrate a video in your own voice
Upload a clean sample of your voice to Vizard Agent and paste the script you want read. Vizard Agent checks the sample, crops the cleanest stretch out of it, generates the narration section by section in your voice, joins the parts and checks the waveform before handing the file over.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Paste the script in full rather than describing it. Vizard Agent generates from the exact characters you send, so anything left to interpretation is a place where the narration can differ from what you had in your head. Unlike a picture, you won't notice until you listen the whole way through. Voiceover runs at roughly 200 credits per finished minute, so get the script final first.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
Recording narration is the step that stops videos getting made: you need a quiet room, an hour, and the patience not to fluff a line. A voice sample removes all three, and the quality of what comes back is set almost entirely by the quality of what you sent. So two of the steps are about the sample, not the script. In the session behind this article it:
- Read the voice generation tool's own documentation before choosing any settings.
- Confirmed whose voice was in the sample and what was being said in it, then converted and uploaded it.
- Analysed the sample's quality and cropped a clean stretch out of it rather than using the whole file, since a sample with a cough in it teaches the cough.
- Generated the narration section by section rather than in a single pass, then joined the sections and checked the waveform before uploading.
- Laid the narration onto the video, delivering 52.48 seconds at 1080x1920.
When does this not work well?
Two things break this: a sample that isn't clean, and a script that assumes the reader knows what you meant. Music under the sample or a second voice produces a voice that's nearly you and wrong. Homographs like "read" and "live" are guesswork, so spell the pronunciation you want. And consent is yours to hold: use your own voice, or one you have written permission for.
Common questions
How long a sample do I need? Between 10 and 90 seconds of clean single-speaker audio. Longer is not better if it is noisier.
Can I get the audio without a video? Yes. Ask Vizard Agent for "audio file only".
Will it match my pacing? It follows the sample's character and the delivery you state. If the pace is wrong, name the section and Vizard Agent regenerates that part.
