Add narration, dialogue and music
Narrate with a studio voice, your own recording, or an actor's voice, and add music and sound effects.

On this page
Narration lives on your project's Audio tab. Music and sound effects are made in Post-Production, right where you place them on the timeline.
Three ways to narrate
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| Text-to-Speech | A studio voice, or one of your actors' voices, reads your script. |
| Record | Record yourself in the browser. |
| Upload | Upload a narration file you recorded elsewhere with Upload Audio File. |
Recorded and uploaded narration can also run through the voice changer to sound like a different voice while keeping your timing and delivery.
Text-to-Speech
Choose a voice, then read the Full Script at once or go By Scene so you can redo one scene without re-rendering the rest. Voice settings let you adjust speed and delivery. If a name or word comes out wrong, add it to Pronunciations so it is said the same way every time.
The credit cost is shown before you generate, and narration is priced by length.
Dialogue between characters
The Dialogue tab voices a back-and-forth between your actors, using each actor's own voice. See Give an actor a voice.
Music and sound effects
In Post-Production, describe the music you want (mood, instruments, length) and the studio composes a track for your timeline. You can also generate individual sound effects, like thunder, footsteps, or a crowd, and drop them where they belong.
Narration sets the pace
Once narration is on the timeline, your visuals cut to it, so record or generate narration before you fine-tune clip lengths.
