How to Change a Voice in a Recording
A step-by-step tutorial for converting an existing recording into a different voice while keeping the original words, timing, and emotion.
Change a Voice
In this tutorial you will take a recording you already have and convert it into a different voice. The words, timing, and emotion stay the same. Only the speaker's identity changes.
For a full reference, see the Voice Changer docs.
Prerequisites
- Voice Creator Pro, running either as the desktop app on your machine, or in your browser with VCP Cloud
- A recording to convert (a file, a mic take, or a voice in your library), up to an hour long
- A target voice in mind (from your library, a short reference clip, or a YouTube link on the desktop app)
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Step 1: Open the Voice Changer
Click Voice Changer in the left sidebar.
Step 2: Add Your Source Audio
Load the recording you want to convert in the Source audio panel. Pick whichever fits:
- Upload - Select a WAV or MP3 from your computer.
- Record - Capture a take directly in the app.
- Library - Use the clip of a voice you already saved.
Step 3: Choose a Target Voice
Select the voice you want the recording to become in the Target voice panel:
- Pick any saved voice from Library.
- Record or Upload a short reference clip.
- Click YouTube, paste a URL, and pull the audio from a video (desktop app only).
A clean 6 to 10 second reference works best.
Step 4: Convert
Click Convert. Voice Creator Pro re-voices the recording in the target speaker's identity while keeping the original words, timing, and emotion. The result plays in the player bar when it finishes.
Long recordings take a while. You can switch to another screen while it runs and come back later. The conversion keeps going.
Step 5: Download or Iterate
Download the output from the player bar, or try a different target voice. Every conversion is stored in History so you can compare attempts.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a clean source recording. Background noise in the original carries into the conversion.
- Use a clean target reference. A short, clear reference clip produces a more convincing target identity.
- Try a few targets. Different voices suit different source performances. Compare a couple from your History.
- Tune the result. Raise Guidance in Advanced settings to push harder toward the target voice, or raise Steps for a smoother sound.
