What is HeyGen AI Voice?
HeyGen Voice offers a vast library of AI-generated voices that cover a whopping 175 languages and capture a variety of emotions that range from friendly, to serious and everything in between. Plus, there are numerous tone, accent, and style options to work with.
Whether you're narrating a corporate presentation, a YouTube video, or an educational course, there's a voice that fits perfectly. You can even create your own emotions for your voice by uploading simple audio files.
For example, if you want to add a sad version of your voice to the mix, you can upload a separate audio file of you speaking in a sad voice. The options are endless!
How to create your own voice
Start by logging into your HeyGen account.
From the dashboard, click ‘AI Voice’ to discover our library of AI voices.
Next, click ‘Create New Voice’ but note that you can also select an existing public voice from the library.
Next you’ll be asked to upload your own audio file.
You’ll then be able to choose between uploading your audio file.
For best results, upload a file that’s 2 minutes long. You can also create an avatar and voice through the instant avatar process.
Finally, click on ‘Create new voice’.
How to customize your voice
Once the voice is generated, you’ll find it in the AI Voice library.
Click into your new voice, and you’ll notice a handful of emotions that are available. Choose one that you’d like to be the default, and you’re ready to go.
Next, let’s add a custom emotion to the mix. When you click into the new voice you’ve created, you can click ‘Add emotion’ and then upload a specific audio file.
Examples of emotions include sad, silly, whispering, excitement, and more.
Once you’ve uploaded your specific audio file, all you have to do is name it, and you’re set!
How to add a new voice to a video
When you’re in the process of creating a video, all you have to do is add the voice to any portion of your script.
Finally, click the portion of the script you’d like to add it to and select the voice you’ve created.
