Recording your own narration in another language
Short answer
You can record your own narration instead of using an AI voice. The recording replaces the AI voice completely, so it must say the same words as your script, in the same language — the drawings are planned from the script. If you want narration in another language, write the script in that language first.
Who this guide is for
Founders, teachers and presenters who want their own voice on a video. It's part of our technology & saas resources.
What you'll need
- A final script in the language you will speak
- A quiet room
- At least five seconds of clear audio
Step by step
- 1
Write the script in your spoken language
The drawings follow the script, so it must match what you say.
- 2
Choose 'Record your own narration'
Record or upload your audio. Very short or unreadable recordings are refused.
- 3
Read the script as written
Stay close to the words so the scenes line up.
- 4
Check the banner
Review & make shows that your recording will be the narration, with a play button.
- 5
Switch back if needed
Choose 'Use AI voice instead' to remove the recording.
What goes wrong when languages differ
A script written in English with a recording spoken in Georgian produces a film whose drawings tell the English story while the voice tells another. Write the script in the language you record in.

Common mistakes
- Script and recording in different languages
- Improvising away from the script
- Recordings that are too short or noisy
Review before publishing
- A fluent speaker of the target language has read the script aloud
- Names, numbers, dates and currency follow local convention
- On-screen words are short and spelt correctly in the finished video
- Narration and script are in the same language — no mixed recordings
- The video still fits the length you chose once narrated
Questions
Can I record in a language that isn't on the list?
The video's script and settings must use a supported language, and your recording must match the script.
Is recording free?
Yes. Credits depend only on video length.
