Question 1

Do AI voiceovers already come optimized?

Accepted Answer

Some AI tools apply basic EQ and normalization, but they rarely include full mastering. Manual post-processing can significantly improve AI voiceover quality and realism.

Question 2

What’s the ideal loudness level for AI voiceovers?

Accepted Answer

For YouTube, target -14 LUFS, and for podcasts, -16 LUFS. These standards ensure consistency and prevent clipping.

Question 3

Can I use AI tools to enhance AI voices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tools like Auphonic or Adobe Enhance Speech use intelligent algorithms to clean and balance AI-generated voices.

Question 4

Should I use reverb on AI voices?

Accepted Answer

Use it lightly, if at all. Too much reverb often exposes artificiality and makes the voice sound detached from the mix.

Question 5

What file format should I export in?

Accepted Answer

WAV (48kHz, 24-bit) is best for editing and mastering. For publishing, MP3 (320kbps) maintains a good balance between size and quality.
