TikTok has a fun voice changer feature that you can use to modify the sound of your voice in the TikTok videos you record. The feature comes with a wide variety of voice effect options to choose from. These options can include effects that make your voice sound like a cat, an echo, a robot, or like it's been affected by helium.

In this guide, we'll show you how to access TikTok's voice changer feature so you can start playing with all of its silly voice effects in your own videos.

How to use TikTok's voice changer

In the app, TikTok's voice changer feature isn't necessarily officially called that. It's more of a collection of voice effects you can access within its Audio Editing section.

You can use the following steps to access TikTok's Audio Editing section so you can start trying out these voice effects.

Step 1: Open the TikTok app on your mobile device and select the Plus sign icon to record your video as you normally would. Just be sure to actually record yourself speaking.

Step 2: Once you're done recording your video, you should automatically be taken to the video editing screen. On this screen, choose the Audio editing option. This option is also marked with a microphone icon.

Step 3: On the next screen, you'll be presented with a preview of your video at the top of your screen and a selection of voice effects at the bottom of your screen. You can swipe through the effect options to see what you have to choose from.

To preview a voice effect on your video: Select an effect, and then select the Play triangle icon on your video's preview. Your video should automatically play back your voice changed by the effect you chose.

Step 4: If you're happy with the effect you chose, select Save.

You'll then be taken back to the video editing screen from before. This time, however, your video will automatically play your voice with your selected voice effect added to it. You can now add filters or whatever else you normally would to your video and then choose Next to finish publishing your video.

A note about the availability of certain voice effects

You may have come to this guide to see how to access certain voice effects, like "Deep" and "Jessie."

But unfortunately, not all the voice effects that you see other TikTok users using are available for everyone. The voice changer feature is essentially a collection of voice effects you can use on your videos, but not everyone necessarily has the same collection of effects. Digital Trends contacted TikTok to get more information about the feature. And in one of TikTok's responses, it was explained that these voice effects are still in testing and so they won't necessarily be available to all TikTok users.

If they're available to you, voice effects like "Deep" and "Jessie" should show up in the Audio Editing screen we described in the previous section. So if you don't see a particular voice effect you heard about on your app's Audio Editing screen, it's likely because it wasn't rolled out to you. You'll have to wait and see if it rolls out to you in the future.

A new study led by researchers at the University of Bristol has found that people trying to resist food cravings may be using social media content featuring indulgent meals as a substitute for actually eating them. The findings challenge the long-held assumption that exposure to tempting food imagery leads to overeating.

The research, conducted in collaboration with the University at Buffalo School of Management, explored how visual engagement with food content influences eating behaviour. Across three experiments involving 840 participants aged between 19 and 77, researchers combined online surveys with a controlled laboratory study to examine how people respond to food-related media.

AI dating sounds efficient – but I’m not fully convinced
AI dating

Artificial intelligence is steadily expanding into new areas of everyday life, and dating may be next. A new wave of AI “agents” is being developed to simulate personalities, interact with others, and even help users find potential romantic partners - without users having to do the initial work themselves.

According to a report by WIRED, researchers and developers are experimenting with systems that create personalised AI agents, or “digital twins,” designed to represent individuals in virtual environments. These agents can interact with others, hold conversations, and assess compatibility at a scale that would be impossible for humans alone.
