Voice Cloning

Generate speech that sounds like you by creating your own voice clones with Descript. Read a short script and let our AI digitally recreate your voice. From there you can create voice overs without recording a word, or update old recordings as easily as changing the transcript.

How to clone your voice with AI

Step 1

Create a new AI voice

In a new Descript project, create a new AI speaker by adding an '@' to your script and inputting a speaker name. Click the name and under the speaker settings select Enable speech generation. You'll then be prompted to clone your voice by reading a short script.

Step 2

Upload your voice sample

Follow the prompt to start recording yourself reading the script. If you want to record a collaborator's voice, you can upload a recording of them reading that same script. Ensure the recording is clear and free of background noise for the best results. When Descript is finished processing your voice sample, your clone will be ready to use.

Step 3

Turn text into speech

Once the voice clone has been created, write a script or use AI to generate one, and assign it to your newly created voice clone. The text will begin to flash, indicating it's being converted into speech. Once it's done, you can hit play to hear your voice clone reading your script in your voice.

Questions? We have answers
Can I clone my voice with AI?

Yes, with Descript you can clone your voice by recording a short sample of your speech. This allows you to generate natural-sounding audio from any text input, making it ideal for various applications like podcasts, video narration, or virtual assistance. It's a powerful tool for content creators looking to maintain a consistent voice across their media.

Is AI voice cloning legal?

Yes, AI voice cloning is legal when used responsibly and with the necessary permissions. At Descript, we prioritize ethical practices and require explicit consent from individuals whose voices are cloned. You can delete a voice clone from Descript to permanently remove it. You can also share your voice clone with other trusted Drive members so they can work on projects without tapping you to record a voice over. Always use voice cloning technologies, like those provided by Descript, ethically and responsibly to respect and protect the rights of all individuals involved.

Is there an AI that mimics your voice?

Yes, Descript offers an AI feature called Overdub that can mimic your voice. Overdub allows you to create a digital voice that sounds like you by training the AI with recordings of your speech. Once set up, you can use this feature to generate audio content that sounds like it's spoken by you, simply by typing text. This is particularly useful for correcting mistakes in recorded audio or generating new content without additional recording sessions.

What's the best AI voice cloner?

At Descript, we believe our AI voice cloning technology stands out as one of the best voice cloning tools because it offers high-quality, realistic voice synthesis integrated into our audio and video editing tools. Descript's voice cloning is designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that even those new to audio editing can easily create professional-level AI voiceovers.
