Use generated voice and music thoughtfully
About this video
Alex is a fictional illustrated presenter with audio-reactive animation. Narration is AI-generated. Editor visuals are screenshot walkthroughs; inspect the interactive demonstrations below as you follow along.
Plan original narration or music and evaluate the actual result.
Generated narration can help when you cannot record a voice, but the script still needs to sound like a person. Read it aloud before generating. Short sentences and concrete words usually survive better than a paragraph packed with slogans. Use the same available voice selection across a series when continuity matters.
For music, describe the role: a light instrumental bed under speech, a sparse reflective opening, or a short energetic ending. If a generation option supports vocals, say whether you want original lyrics or an instrumental. Do not assume a successful generation request produced the requested words; listen to the output.
Avoid imitating a real person without appropriate permission. Check the terms that apply to any generated or licensed asset before commercial distribution. Keep a copy of your prompt, selected settings and asset origin. If generation is unavailable or outside your budget, record your own narration and use the supplied practice bed. The editing skills are the same.

Check the target of your request
Open Ask AI. A selected-clip chip scopes the request to that clip. Remove the chip when your brief applies to the whole edit. These screenshots show the composer before sending.
The Clean Title chip in this capture means the title is selected.
Separate inspiration from footage
Choose + Style reference for inspiration. Use the regular upload path for material that belongs in the video. Explain what you want to borrow: text placement, pace, palette or mood.
The captured UI accepts reference images or the first two minutes of a reference video. Check the current limit in your app.
Find the same task on a phone
In the phone browser, use AI in the bottom navigation to reach the chat. Open the relevant panel instead of trying to fit the entire desktop workspace on screen.

Step 1 of 3
Follow along in Vidmoat
- Write a narration of roughly 40 to 60 words for a short demonstration and read it aloud.
- Use the available voiceover generation control, or record your own voice.
- Listen for incorrect names, odd pauses and an unnatural pace.
- For an optional music generation, request a clear mood, duration and instrumental or vocal intent.
- Import the accepted assets, balance them against each other and verify any words by listening.
A prompt you can adapt
Create an original, light instrumental bed for a friendly desk-product demonstration. Leave room for narration, avoid vocals and a huge dramatic ending. I will review the actual audio before using it.
Your turn
Read the supplied lamp narration naturally and time it. If it runs long, remove one idea instead of rushing every word. Use recorded or generated narration and compare it with the silent version.
What a successful attempt looks like
The narration fits the available time without sounding hurried, and the soundtrack supports rather than competes with it.
A common trap
Asking for a famous singer’s voice or assuming generated lyrics are accurate creates avoidable problems.
