How to change your voice on TikTok, plus reverse effects

Underwater voice effect character

TikTok has a handful of built-in voice effects, and they are great for a quick laugh. But the best-looking edits often use voices TikTok cannot make, like a reversed reveal or a deep demon villain. Here is how to use TikTok's own effects, and how to make the rest in a couple of taps and drop them in.

TikTok's built-in voice effects

To use the effects baked into the app:

  • 1. Record a clip in TikTok or upload one.
  • 2. On the edit screen, tap Voice effects.
  • 3. Pick one, such as chipmunk, baritone, microphone or echo, and post.

That covers the basics. What TikTok does not give you is reversing, a proper demon voice, stacking effects, or dialing your own pitch and speed.

Make the voices TikTok cannot, then upload

For those, make the clip in Reverse Audio first, then add it to your TikTok:

  • Reverse it. Record or import, reverse, and you have an instant backwards reveal.
  • Go demon. The demon voice turns you into a deep, growling villain.
  • Stack and customise. Layer an effect on a reversed clip, or set your own pitch and speed in Custom mode.
  • Save and upload. Export the clip and import it into your TikTok video.

Voice ideas for TikTok and Reels

  • Backwards reveal. Play a line reversed, then forwards, for a twist.
  • Demon narrator. A deep monster voice over a spooky edit.
  • Sped-up bit. A fast, high nightcore-style voice for a punchy moment.
  • Reverse challenge. Try the reverse speech challenge on camera.
