How to easily voice-over video creative without a narrator: selection of neural networks

As is well-known, better than a creative converts only video creative. The most effective video creative is the one with authentic voice-over in the language of the region where the campaign is planned to be launched. Voice-over allows you to provide users with more information about the offer and motivate them not only to click on the ad but also to take the desired action. However, where can you get this voiceover? We’ve gathered the best methods for voice-over in this selection.

Services to voice-over the creatives

Voicing a creative is easier than it may seem. There is a vast array of services, programs, bots, and lately, neural networks on the market that can qualitatively voice-over a creative in just a few minutes. The narration from most services is difficult to distinguish from the original recording, especially when the creative needs to be created in English. With other languages, services perform just as well, but it's advisable to try and test them in this case.

Most features, languages, and voice options are available only in the paid version, but the free trial is sufficient for small tasks.

You can save the finished audio track in MP3 format and then upload it to any convenient video editor for creating a video creative.
