TikTok is all about having a good time, whether you’re making videos for your audience to enjoy or watching the videos that other people make. When making videos for TikTok, some content creators want to experiment with different techniques, such as talking over the sound of the original video. The fact that TikTok lets users talk over the sound is definitely a plus. This article will walk you through the several methods in which you can talk over the sound on TikTok. We will cover the two ways of using voiceover on TikTik in detail, and we will go through both of the methods mentioned.

How To Talk Over a Sound on TikTok?

Talk-over is a beneficial function of video editing that allows you, as a content producer, to discuss or talk while the original video is being played, and it allows you to talk over the sound of the original video. You have the option of keeping the original sound track for the video you are creating or replacing your own voice for it. The advantage of talking over your video is that it allows you to engage your audience by adding your own sound to the video that is playing. This means that if you are discussing anything with them, they can see the visuals while listening to your voice. So, how exactly does one go about talking over a TikTok video? Let’s go over the several options that are available to you.

Method #1: Using Voiceover

Voiceover on TikTok is the first option that comes to mind when considering how to talk over the sound. The process is eased by the usage of voiceover because all that is required of you is to get your video, select the voiceover option while editing it, and then record your sound to be used in the video. In addition, the new sound can either completely replace the old sound or be played over it. Follow the instructions below:

1. Launch TikTok on your mobile device (Android or iOS) and log in to access your account.
2. To access the creator mode, click the (+) button located at the bottom of the screen.
3. You can either record a video or select one from your collection to “Upload.”
4. After you have the video, you can access the different editing options by tapping the checkmark.

At this point, you have the option of keeping the original video or replacing it. Therefore, move on with the options that will benefit you the most.

Follow the steps below in order to keep the sound as it was originally recorded:

1. Use the button at the bottom to adjust the volume.
2. After lowering the level of the “Original Sound” using the volume slider to a low setting, click the “Done” button.
3. Select the “Voiceover” option. It looks like a mic.
4. Check that the option labeled “Keep Original Sound” is selected.
5. Simply start talking after clicking the record button to begin the recording process.
6. Select “Save” at the very top. The video is now modified to include your voiceover.
7. To make changes to the video and customize it to your preferences, click the “Next” button.
8. Click the “Post” button when you are ready to share the video with your audience so that they can engage with it and have fun with it.

Follow the instructions below to replace your own sound for the one that was originally there:

1. After you have added your video, select the voiceover option.
2. After clicking the record button, 
3. Make sure the option “Keep Original Sound” is not selected.
4. Click the “Save” button at the top of the screen once you have finished adding your sound.
5. After making any necessary changes or additions, click the “Next” button.
6. Finally, Post the video for your audience to enjoy.

You can now talk over an existing sound in a TikTok video that you have either filmed yourself or uploaded from your gallery by using the methods that have been described above.

Method #2: Using the Microphone Feature

If you are making a duet video, voiceover on TikTok won’t function. Instead, you should use the mic option, enabling you to chat over your TikTok video. Confused? Follow the instructions below.

1. Open your TikTok account.
2. Locate the video you want to duet and touch the share arrow at the bottom.
3. From the options, click on “Duet”.
4. The action will be processed by TikTok, and then the Duet page will be opened.
5. Simply choose the speaker icon located at the very top.
6. After clicking the record button, begin talking over the existing sound.
7. After you are done, you can access the edit page by tapping the checkmark.
8. It is important that you do not switch off the “Original Sound” or lower its volume on the next page since doing so will have an effect on the sound that you have added. Instead, post your video, and the sound that you added by using the microphone feature will be preserved in it.
