Use ElevenLabs to Add Professional Voiceover to Reels and TikToks

1. Go to elevenlabs.io → click Sign up → create an account with email.
2. Verify your email and log in.
3. You'll land on the ElevenLabs dashboard.

What you should see: A clean dashboard with a navigation menu on the left. Look for "Text to Speech" in the menu.

Before opening ElevenLabs, write the script for your video in a document. Keep it tight:

• Reels/TikTok: 15-30 seconds = approximately 40-80 words
• Speak in a natural, conversational rhythm — the AI will read exactly what you write

Tip: Read your script out loud before pasting it in. If you stumble over a phrase, rewrite it. The AI will also stumble over awkward constructions.

1. Click Text to Speech in the left sidebar.
2. The Text to Speech editor opens — a large text input area on the left, voice selection on the right.

1. Click the Voice dropdown at the top-right of the text area.
2. Browse available voices — you'll see options like Sarah, Rachel, Charlotte, Adam, Callum, and more.
3. Click the play button next to any voice name to hear a sample.
4. Select a voice that fits your brand: warm and friendly, authoritative and clear, upbeat and energetic.

Good starting voices for most social content:

• "Rachel" — clear, professional, slightly warm
• "Sarah" — conversational, millennial energy
• "Callum" — calm, trustworthy male voice

1. Paste your script into the large text box.
2. Adjust Stability (0-100): Higher = more consistent/robotic. Lower = more expressive/variable. Start at 50.
3. Adjust Similarity (0-100): Higher = more accurate to the voice sample. Start at 75.
4. Keep Style at 0-25 for natural speech (higher values exaggerate emotion).

1. Click the orange Generate button.
2. The audio plays automatically — listen to the full clip.
3. If it sounds good: click the download icon (arrow pointing down) next to the waveform to download the MP3 file.
4. If a word is mispronounced: edit that word in the text box (e.g., change "acai" to "ah-sigh-EE") and regenerate.

What you should see: An audio waveform with playback controls and a download button.

1. Open CapCut on your phone or capcut.com on desktop.
2. Create a new project → import your video footage.
3. Tap Audio (at the bottom of the screen) → Extracted → browse to your downloaded MP3.
4. Place the audio track aligned with your video timeline.
5. Adjust the video clip timing to match the voiceover pacing.
6. Add captions (CapCut's auto-caption feature works well) → export.
