How to Enhance Voice in Your Video

Method 1: Enhancing Voice in Your Video with Cleanvoice

Step 1: Record Video with High-Quality Audio

Great voice enhancement starts with clean audio. Start off with reducing noise and capturing a full, rich voice.

Use a High-Quality Microphone: Condenser mics capture detail, while dynamic mics reduce background noise. Choose based on your recording environment.
Control Your Environment: Record in a quiet, treated space. Minimize echoes with soft furnishings or acoustic panels.
Optimize Mic Placement: Position the mic 6–12 inches from your mouth to balance clarity and reduce plosives.

Record at a consistent volume to avoid level fluctuations. Use a pop filter to prevent harsh sounds and a boom arm to reduce vibrations. Set gain levels properly—too high creates distortion, too low loses detail.

Step 2: Upload Video to Cleanvoice

Once you have a high-quality recording, import it into Cleanvoice for processing. Start by selecting the appropriate file to ensure precise AI processing.

Choose the Right File Format: We support mp4 video formats, so make sure your file’s format is compatible.
Segment Long Recordings: If your project has multiple speakers or sections, process each file separately for more accurate results.

After selecting your video file, click on the upload button to submit it.

Step 3: Apply Audio Enhancements

Once your video is uploaded, choose the ‘Enhance Audio Only’ option to enhance voices in your video. Next, click the start button to let Cleanvoice do its magic.

You can also enhance the voice in your video based on your recording’s needs by creating a custom template in the beginning.

You can enable options like filler word removal to eliminate common hesitations like “um” and “uh” without making speech sound unnatural.

Use Stutter Removal Wisely: This feature smooths out repeated words caused by nervousness or speech patterns while maintaining natural flow.
Apply Mouth Sound Reduction: Reduces unwanted clicks, lip smacks, and saliva noises that can be distracting in professional audio.
Balance Background Noise Removal: Avoid over-processing. Too much reduction can create an unnatural, hollow sound, especially for dynamic speech.

Cleanvoice also identifies and trims dead air, shortening unnatural gaps without making speech sound rushed. This is particularly useful for scripted videos and podcasts where pacing is key.

Step 4: Download or Export Video

Cleanvoice automatically starts editing your video, either based on the audio enhancement feature alone, or on the specific options you select when getting started.

Once it’s done editing, your video file will be ready for download or export.

You can check and compare the original voice in your video with the enhanced voice by Cleanvoice, and either download or export according to your needs. Options include Audacity, Audition and Reaper.

Method 2: Enhancing Voice in Your Video with Flixier

Step 1: Import Your Video to Flixier

Log into Flixier and open the editor. Import your video by clicking the ‘Import or Record’ button at the top left side, and selecting your video from Google Drive, Dropbox, direct upload, or various other options.

Check File Quality: Use high-resolution videos to preserve audio clarity during processing.
Organize Media: If working with multiple clips, label and arrange them in the library for efficient editing.
Ensure Cloud Syncing: If using cloud storage, confirm files have fully synced before importing.

After selecting your video, click ‘Import all’ to upload.

Once uploaded, add the video to the timeline by clicking on your video and selecting the ‘Add to Timeline’ button.

Step 2: Enhance the Voice/Audio

After adding your video to the timeline, navigate to the Audio tab in Flixier’s right-side menu.

Select Enhance Audio, and choose your preferred enhancement as well as your content type.

After you’ve selected your preferences, click on ‘Enhance Audio’ to get started.

For multi-speaker projects, apply enhancements individually to each audio track to maintain balanced sound. If working with external audio, ensure it’s synced correctly before applying effects.

Step 3: Export Your Enhanced Video

Once you’ve enhanced the voice in your video, export it by clicking on ‘Export’ at the top right corner.

You can choose your preferred format, or even publish to platforms like YouTube, Facebook and TikTok.

For multi-track projects, ensure voice and background audio remain properly mixed before exporting.

After exporting, download the video, publish it online or embed it via its link.

If the exported file sounds different from the preview, reopen the project in Flixier, tweak the mix, and re-export without starting over. Once satisfied, publish the video or download the final file for further integration into your workflow.

Method 3: Enhancing Voice in Your Video with Descript

Step 1: Upload Your Video to Descript

Log into Descript, click on ‘New Project’ at the top right corner and select ‘Video Project’.

Next, drag and drop your video file into the workspace or use the Upload option to import from cloud storage. Descript supports common formats like MP4, MOV, and AVI, ensuring compatibility with most video files.

Check Audio Quality: Ensure the original audio is clear to maximize enhancement results.
Enable Automatic Transcription: Descript transcribes audio on upload, allowing seamless text-based editing.
Organize Your Project: Label files for easier navigation, especially when working with multiple clips.

Once uploaded, Descript will auto-generate a transcript, which syncs with the video timeline.

Review this transcription for accuracy; misalignment can affect edits and enhancements. If needed, manually correct errors before applying audio processing. This ensures a smoother workflow in the next steps.

Step 2: Apply the Studio Sound Effect

Once your video is uploaded and transcribed, select the audio track in the timeline. In the right-hand Audio Effects panel, toggle on Studio Sound to instantly enhance voice clarity and reduce background noise. Descript will process the file, isolating vocals while removing echoes and ambient interference.

To maximize effectiveness, adjust key settings:

Enable Studio Sound Before Editing: Applying it first ensures cleaner edits and prevents unnecessary reprocessing.
Check Background Noise Levels: If heavy distortion or echo remains, adjust the effect’s intensity.
Ensure Speech Preservation: Over-processing can remove natural tonal variations; balance enhancement with realism.

If certain voices sound unnatural after processing, lower the enhancement intensity or selectively apply the effect to specific segments. Once satisfied, move on to refining the enhanced audio with additional adjustments.

Step 3: Adjust Studio Sound Intensity

After enabling Studio Sound, fine-tune the intensity slider to balance voice clarity and natural tonality. Increasing intensity removes more background noise, but over-processing can create an artificial or robotic effect. Test different settings to find the optimal balance for your video’s audio.

Reduce Overprocessing: Lower the intensity if voices sound too flat or unnatural.
Preserve Speech Dynamics: Maintain vocal inflections by adjusting the slider gradually.
Refine for Multi-Speaker Content: Different voices may require varied enhancement levels.

Check the waveform for inconsistencies; sudden level jumps indicate excessive enhancement. If this occurs, lower intensity or manually adjust volume levels to smooth transitions. Play back the processed file on different devices to confirm that speech clarity remains consistent across platforms before finalizing edits.

Step 4: Edit and Export Your Enhanced Video

Once Studio Sound is optimized, export your video by clicking the ‘Export’ button at the top right corner.

For further adjustments, you can select the audio bitrate and fix the volume according to your preference.

Once satisfied, export the final video by scrolling down and clicking on ‘Export’ and directly download the enhanced video file.

Before sharing, test the exported file on multiple devices to confirm that the enhanced voice remains clear and professional across different playback environments.
