In a hurry? Use the AI Voice Changer quick guide instead.
PowerDirector's AI Voice Changer turns the voice in your clip into another human voice or a character effect, like a megaphone. You can narrow the human voices by language, gender, and age. Use it to change how someone sounds or voice a character without recording again. You get a new audio clip in place of the original on the timeline.
- Select the clip on the timeline, click Edit, then Audio > Tools > AI Voice Changer.
- Under Select a character, choose Human Voice or Effect.
- Filter the human voices by language, gender, and age if you like.
- Click a character, then play the clip to preview it.
- Click Apply.
- Find the new audio clip, which replaces the original on the timeline.
Steps to Change a Voice with AI Voice Changer
Prefer to watch? The video runs about 3 minutes.
Step 1: Open AI Voice Changer
Select the clip with the voice on the timeline. It can be a video clip or an audio clip. Click Edit in the toolbar above the timeline, then on the Audio tab, under Tools, click AI Voice Changer.
Step 2: Choose Human Voice or Effect
Under Select a character, the Type list offers All, Human Voice, and Effect. Choose Human Voice for this section. Effects have their own steps further down.
| Type | What you get | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| Human Voice | Voices of people, such as Jenny, Nicole, and Carson. | The speaker should sound like someone else. |
| Effect | Characters and sound effects, such as Robot 1, Telephone, and Chipmunk. | You want a character voice, or a voice that sounds like it comes through a device. |
Step 3: Narrow Down the Voices
With Human Voice set, three more lists narrow the grid: Language, Gender, and Age. Open the Language list to pick English, French, Japanese, or Chinese.
Open the Gender list to pick Male or Female.
Open the Age list, below Type, to pick an age group: Child, Teenager, Adult, or Elder. To reset the filters, click Clear All beside it.
Step 4: Pick a Voice and Preview It
Scroll down in the panel to reach the character grid. It starts with Jenny, Nicole, and Carson, and more voices sit further down. Click one, then click the play button under the preview to hear your clip in that voice. This example uses Jenny.
Step 5: Apply the Voice
When the voice sounds right, click Apply at the bottom of the panel. PowerDirector renders a new audio clip with the changed voice.
Step 6: Find the New Audio Clip
The new audio clip takes the place of the original on the audio track under your video, with the same name. Play the project to hear the presenter in the new voice. Compare it with the original in the clips at the top of this page.
Steps to Add a Voice Effect
Effects work the same way. Open AI Voice Changer as in Step 1 above, then follow these steps.
Step 1: Set the Type to Effect
Open the Type list under Select a character and choose Effect. The grid switches to the effect characters.
Step 2: Pick an Effect and Apply
Scroll down in the panel to reach the grid. It starts with Anonymous, Astronaut, and Demon 1, and more effects sit further down. Click an effect and play the clip to preview it. This example uses Astronaut. Then click Apply. As with a human voice, the new audio clip replaces the original on the timeline.
We tested these steps in PowerDirector 365 version 25.0.10 on Windows.
