How To Add Voice Over In Canva (Step By Step)

Below are the two methods that you can follow to add a voiceover in Canva:

1. Add Pre-Recorded Voiceover

To add pre-recorded voiceover to your design in Canva, firstly you have to record your audio from your mobile and then save it on your computer.

Then from the Canva homepage, Look for the ‘Recent Designs’ section.

Now click on the thumbnail of the design on which you want to add your voiceover. The design will open in the Canva editor.

After opening your design in the Canva editor, click on the ‘Uploads’ button from the left sidebar.

Now from the new menu, click on the ‘Upload Files’ button to select the pre-recorded audio from your computer.

Once the audio is successfully uploaded in Canva, it will appear under your upload library. Click on that uploaded voiceover to add it to your design.

After clicking on the uploaded voiceover, you will notice a ‘Soundwave Timeline’ at the bottom of your screen.

To control the volume of your voiceover, click on the ‘Soundwave Timeline’ from the bottom of your screen and then on the ‘Volume’ icon from the top toolbar.

Now drag the ‘Volume’ slider towards the left-hand side to decrease the volume of your uploaded voiceover.

Release the slider when you are satisfied with the volume.

2. Add an AI Voiceover

If you don’t want to spend time creating your voiceover and then uploading it on Canva.

Then you can also add an AI voiceover to your design. An AI voiceover not only sounds professional but also helps to save a lot of time.

To add an AI voiceover to your video, click on the ‘Apps’ button from the left side of the Canva homepage.

Now a new menu with various apps will open in front of you. Search for the ‘Murf AI’ app from the top search bar of the new menu.

From the search results, click on the ‘Murf AI’ app.

Now you will be given two options for adding a voiceover to your design:

• Use In Existing Design
• Use In New Design

If you want to add a voiceover to your existing design, click on the ‘Use In Existing Design’ button and then on the ‘Your Project’ button to open a list of all your previous designs.

Now click on the project that you want to continue editing and it will open in the Canva Editor.

Or if you want to add a voiceover to a new design, then click on the ‘Use In New Design’ button.

Type in your desired design type on the top search bar. Then from the search results, click on your desired design type to get redirected to the Canva editor.

Once you are on the Canva editor, click on the ‘Open’ button to open the ‘Murf AI’ app on your editor.

After opening the ‘Murf AI’ app, click on the ‘Connect’ button to create an account with ‘Murf AI’.

Now under the ‘Select A Voice’ section, click on the thumbnail of the voice to hear how it sounds. After listening to the voices, click on the one that you like most.

Now type the script of your voiceover under the ‘Enter Your Text’ section. Then click on the ‘Choose Style’ button to open a new drop-down menu.

From the drop-down menu, click on the style of your liking.

For example, I will click on the ‘Conversational’ style to add it to my voiceover.

To adjust the speed or pitch of the voiceover, drag the ‘Speed’ or ‘Pitch’ slider towards the left or right-hand side according to your liking.

After making all the adjustments, click on the ‘Generate Voiceover’ button to generate your voiceover according to the input data.

Once you click on the ‘Generate Voiceover’ button, Canva will process your data for a few seconds and then the generate voiceover will start playing in front of you.

If you are satisfied with the played voiceover, click on the ‘Add To Design’ button at the bottom.

If you are not satisfied with the played voiceover, make the necessary changes to the input data and then add it to your design.

Murf AI will then successfully add the generated voiceover to your design and you will be able to see the ‘Soundwave Timeline’ at the bottom of your screen.
