How do you add voice to Snapchat videos?

Adding voiceovers to Snapchat videos can enhance your Snaps and Stories by making them more engaging and fun. Whether you want to narrate your video, do a funny voice, or add background music, putting a voice clip on Snapchat is easy to do.

What You Need to Add Voice to Snapchat

To add voice to your Snapchat videos, you will need:

  • The Snapchat app
  • A recording of your voice
  • A video on Snapchat you want to add voiceover to

The voice clip can be a new recording you make within Snapchat or an existing audio file saved on your device that you upload to Snapchat.

How to Record a Voice Clip in Snapchat

Snapchat allows you to record voice clips right within the app that can then be added to video Snaps and Stories. Here’s how to record a voice clip on Snapchat:

  1. Open the Snapchat app.
  2. From the main camera screen, press and hold the microphone icon.
  3. Start speaking to record your voice clip.
  4. When finished, release your finger.
  5. Your recording will automatically save to your Snapchat Memories and can be found in the ‘My Voice’ section.

The maximum recording length for voice clips on Snapchat is 30 seconds. You can rerecord clips until you get the perfect one!

How to Add an Existing Audio File to Snapchat

If you want to add an existing song, long voice recording, or other audio clip to your Snapchat video, you can upload files from your device’s library.

To add an existing audio file to Snapchat:

  1. Open the Snapchat app and tap on the microphone icon to go to the Voice Clip screen.
  2. Tap the music note icon at the top of the screen.
  3. Select ‘My Sounds’ to browse your music library.
  4. Choose the song or audio clip you want.
  5. The file will be added to your Snapchat Memories so you can add it to videos.

Snapchat allows you to upload audio files up to 30 seconds long. For longer tracks, it will trim them automatically.

How to Add Voiceover to Snapchat Videos

Once you’ve recorded or uploaded a voice clip to Snapchat, adding it to a Snap video is easy. Here are the steps:

  1. Open the Snapchat app and create a new Snap or open an existing Story you want to add voiceover to.
  2. Tap the scissors icon at the top to go to the editing screen.
  3. Tap the music note icon at the bottom.
  4. Select the voice clip you want to use from your Snapchat Memories.
  5. Drag the ends of the voice clip to trim it as needed.
  6. Tap the speaker icon and adjust the volume.
  7. Tap Done to add the voice clip to your video.
  8. Preview how it looks and sounds!

You can add multiple voice clips to extend voiceover throughout the video. Get creative with mixing and layering voices and sounds!

How to Add Background Music to Snapchat

Adding songs as background music can take your Snapchat videos to the next level. The steps to add a song are the same as adding a voice recording:

  1. Open your Snap video in editing mode.
  2. Tap the music note icon.
  3. Select the song file you want to use.
  4. Trim and adjust the volume as desired.
  5. Tap Done.

Make sure any songs you use are originals or you have the rights to share them to avoid takedown requests.

Tips for Great Voiceovers

Here are some tips for recording voice clips that sound fantastic:

  • Speak clearly and enunciate words.

  • Hold the phone close to your mouth as you speak.
