What if your voice could sound like a spy, come through a walkie-talkie, echo in a cave, or deliver crisp narration in a pro studio, all on the same day?
Now it can be done in a few clicks thanks to the voice effects feature in Artlist’s AI voiceover.
Voice effects bring an additional layer of creative expression to AI Voiceover. You can modify AI-generated voices with cinematic, dramatic, or playful filters. Whether you’re building immersive video content, narrating a podcast, or injecting personality into your next TikTok — adding this feature to your video creator toolkit is your new secret weapon.
What are voice effects?
Voice effects is a powerful, easy-to-use, new feature built directly into Artlist’s AI voiceover. It allows you to transform AI-generated voiceovers by applying distinct effects, without the need for audio plugins or post-production software.
Voice effects help you tell your story. They work as voice modifiers that amplify the character, style, and tone of your AI-generated voice. It is the difference between reading a script and performing it to fit perfectly with your content. This isn’t just voice generation. It’s a voice transformation.
You can filter to find your favorite effect and preview it to make sure it’s the right fit for your project.
Why use effects?
Currently, you can use the Artlist AI voiceover to localize your content in 25 languages to reach and grow your audience around the world. To make sure you get the right fit, you can preview every language and accent.
And now with voice effects, beyond just sounding cool, you can:
- Match tone to content — Whether you need serious, comedic, or scary content, there’s lots to choose from
- Create different characters. Perfect for dialogue or narratives
- Increase engagement with unexpected, creative sounds
- Add polish and originality to projects
Meet the effects
Voice effects give your story a personality by letting you tailor the sound to match your message. Here’s a look at the unique audio transformations you can now apply with a few clicks.
- Pro Studio
Without leaving your chair, you just walked into a top-tier studio. The results? Clean, balanced audio that mimics the sound of a professional recorded voiceover in a treated studio. It enhances clarity and adds subtle compression, saturation, and EQ for broadcast-ready quality.
Use cases:
- Commercials, corporate videos, and explainer content
- High-end podcast production
- Any project that needs studio-grade voiceovers — no recording equipment required
- Walkie-Talkie
A crunchy, distorted effect with static to sound like a transmission from a police radio or walkie-talkie. Let your imagination run and make it a reality — maybe today you need to secure the perimeter or you’re reporting in from a top-secret mission behind enemy lines.
Use cases:
- Comedic sketches or parodies
- Crime dramas and podcasts
- Military or police themed games or scenes
- Surveillance-style storytelling
- Vintage Radio
Emulates the sound of an old AM radio, with limited frequency range, static hiss, and slight warble or pitch drift. It’s an average Tuesday in the Studio, but today you feel like being a dashing 1940s radio host breaking news with flair and static? This is the voice effect for you.
Use Cases:
- Period dramas or historical reenactments
- Audio dramas that imitate classic radio broadcasts
- Retro ads or product intros
- Nostalgic or war-era narratives
- Phone Call
Simulates audio transmitted through a phone line, featuring slight distortion and frequency filtering. Editing a scene and realizing you need some voiceover to transition? Choose this effect to simulate your character picking up the phone to spill the tea.
Use cases:
- Dialogues involving remote callers or customer support
- Crime or mystery storytelling with intercepted calls
- Internal monologues portrayed as voicemails
- Realistic podcast interludes
- Robotic Assistant
A cool, futuristic voice with a sleek, robotic tone, just like a high-tech digital assistant or friendly AI from a sci-fi movie. Perfect for the voice of a futuristic robot butler with a sense of humor or a robotic sidekick straight out of a video game.
Use cases:
- AI or robot characters in games and sci-fi
- Futuristic or tech-themed marketing
- Voice for smart assistants or navigation bots
- Monster
Think thunderous beast echoing through the shadows! Deep, growling, and heavily modulated voice with pitch shifting, phasing, flanging, and frequency shifting, designed to sound just a little bit menacing.
Use Cases:
- Horror or fantasy projects
- Villain voice in animated or gaming content
- Halloween-themed productions
- Creature sound design for immersive experiences
- Cave
A highly reverberant effect with long echoes and spatial reflections to mimic speech in a large stone cavern, echo chamber, or underground tunnel. Channel your inner explorer, shouting into the depths of an ancient cave, or your favorite fantasy hero discovering something legendary in a stone chamber.
Use cases:
- Mythical or dungeon settings
- Fantasy narration
- Creating mood in atmospheric scenes
- Upstairs Neighbor
Are you starring in a sitcom with thin apartment walls? This effect will bring you muffled and low-passed audio with soft thumps or distant resonance, simulating a voice heard through a wall or maybe a ceiling.
Use cases:
- Comedy about shared housing
- Sound design for apartment scenes
- Subtle background dialogue effects
- Announcer
Looking to be the voice of authority in a packed stadium or school hallway? Add a little oomph with this bold, booming voice effect. With slight distortion and wide presence to sound like a voice coming from a public announcement system, loudspeaker, or stadium speaker.
