Storyboard your vision with script composer

Generate an AI voice that resonates

Put the microphones away!

Voices resonate with people and the use of voiceover has proven to be effective in video.

Tweak and perfect your voiceover as your script evolves, ensuring the message is not just heard, but felt.

  • Whether you want to tweak the tone, adjust the pacing, or refine the wording, you have the power to perfect your message without starting from scratch.

Okay, fine. One more art fact: Some people have waited over an hour for 30-seconds in front of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Considered the most famous painting of all time, most people say it’s worth the wait, and would probably do it again. Create a video so good that it’s worth the loop – aim for sky-high engagement (or The Louvre)!
