How To Add Voiceover To Video In Canva (Fast, FREE, & Easy)

Howto & Style

Introduction

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to add a voiceover to your video in Canva. There are two options available: using an AI voiceover app from Canva’s library or importing a high-quality voiceover externally. While both methods are effective, importing an external voiceover offers better results with a free AI voice generator I'll introduce to you.

Option 1: Using AI Voiceover Apps in Canva

Step 1: Access Canva’s AI Voiceover Apps

  1. Head over to the left sidebar and click on "Apps".
  2. Search for "AI Voiceover".

Step 2: Choose an AI Voiceover App

Several AI voice apps will appear. From my experience, Murf AI offers the best quality but requires a paid plan to add voiceover to your video.

  • AI Voiceover (Free Plan): Some voices are available for free.
  • Voiceover (Free Plan): Also offers free voices. You can change the speaker and style.

Step 3: Generate and Add AI Voiceover

  1. Select a voice (e.g., Rachel with a calm voice).
  2. Click "Generate Audio".
  3. The voiceover is added to the video automatically. Click "Duration" to set the timing.

Example

"This is a boring video of a really long handshake." Listen to the generated voiceover by pressing the play button.

Option 2: Importing External Voiceover

Step 1: Use 11 Labs for Quality Voiceovers

  1. Visit 11 Labs.
  2. Enter your text into the provided field and click "Generate Speech".

Example

"This is a video of a really awkward handshake. She’s clearly not into it." The generated voice is of high quality.

Step 2: Download and Import Voiceover to Canva

  1. Download the generated audio file from 11 Labs.
  2. Go back to Canva, delete any existing audio track.
  3. Click "Uploads" on the left, select "Audio", and drag your downloaded audio file into Canva.
  4. The audio file will be added automatically to your video.

Conclusion

Adding a high-quality voiceover to your video in Canva is simple and efficient. You can either use Canva’s built-in AI voiceover apps or import a superior voiceover from external sources like 11 Labs.
