How to Add and Edit Voice Overs in Videos (Make a Voiceover & Voice Cloning Tutorial)

Hey everyone, it's Jack, and today I'm going to show you how to add voiceovers to your videos. Voiceovers are one of the most important and useful tools you can use in video content. I often speak over B-roll footage in my personal videos, and I use voiceovers in nearly every tutorial I make. They are incredibly versatile and can be used for various purposes, including educational content, filling in forgotten details, or even comedic dubbing—think about the famous honey badger video. Voiceovers ensure you deliver your message clearly and professionally.
