TikTok has established itself as one of the new applications that, especially throughout the past year, has managed to cause a sensation, especially among the youngest (children included).
Part of its success is possibly found in its simplicity of use, since it is based solely on creating and sharing videos among friends or with a larger group of users, with the difference that, in reality, these videos consist of short clips. duration that usually include musical elements .
For example, the user can record themselves dancing to a certain song, and can then add it to the video, or even include small comedy sketches, tutorials or even just vlogs. Finally, it is possible to add a large number of effects in order to make our clip unique, generating our own style.
In addition to everything indicated, it is very possible that another of the aspects that have helped the success of TikTok is the duration limit of all the clips, since they all have a duration of just 15 seconds , so everything we do must Limit yourself to that period of time, so you have to be as ingenious and original as possible.
If you have just entered the curious world of TikTok, you may already know that you can create videos that include your own voice. However, after finishing recording the clip, the application allows us to access the Voice Effects section, offering us the possibility to customize and change our voice to the maximum. We explain how you can do it.
Recording a video and adding an effect to our voice
You should know that, to use the voice effects provided by the app developers, it is necessary to first record a video with our own voice . This means that it is not possible to use this functionality in those videos that we create from the built-in templates (which already contain music). In addition, you must take into account another important aspect: a voice effect can only be applied after having recorded our video .
To do this, we open the TikTok app and click the + icon that we will find located at the bottom of the screen, with which we will begin to record the video. Next, we touch the Record button, and we capture the video as we normally would. If necessary, remember that you can pause or stop the recording by clicking on this button again. Then, when you’re done, tap on the verification icon , located in the bottom right of the app.
Now, a collection of options will appear at the top right of the screen. This is where we will have to press the Voice Effects button. The different effects will then be displayed at the bottom of the screen. To try and listen to them, click on each one of them until you reach the one you like or interest the most.
To select a voice effect , simply select it and tap off the screen . Of course, if you don’t like any of them, you must press the None button. If you have chosen it, remember that right in this section you can add any other effect, such as stickers or text. When you’re done, click Next .
Now, just continue normally by selecting the different Publishing options, save the video if you wish, or simply hit the Publish button for it to be published immediately.
What voice effects are available on TikTok?
TikTok offers different voice effects added by default in the application. So far, the ones you can find available are the following:
- Chipmunk. This is a high-pitched sound, similar to that of Alvin’s popular squirrels.
- Mic. It is a sound similar to how our voice would sound if we spoke through a microphone.
- Baritone. It is a type of voice that is as manly as it is deep.
- Robot. Indeed, it sounds just like a robot would.
- Electronic. As their name suggests, they consist of scattered electronic sounds that are added to our voice.
- Low battery. Provides an effect similar to that of a battery when it is depleted, slow and prolonged.
- Echo. Every word or sentence is heard as if it had an echo.
- Helium. Apply an effect similar to if we had sucked helium from a balloon before recording the video.
- Vibrato This is an effect similar to what our voice would have when we tremble.
- Megaphone. It is a voice effect similar to the one that this would have when we speak through a loudspeaker or megaphone.
- Synthesizer. It would sound the same as if we applied a synthesizer to our voice (exactly, similar to what the music of the 80s sounds like).
There are also other equally interesting voice effects, such as Giant (deeper than baritone) and Sound Waves.
So in case you are looking for a way to make your TikTok video sound even more fun or remarkable, there is no doubt that the voice effects provided by default in the app will be tremendously useful.
