You need a voiceover but don’t want to record it yourself? AI voices might be the right option for your project. But who has the best voices? Artlist or Epidemic Sound?
Artlist has a ton of really awesome voices and has had this feature available for longer than Epidemic Sound. You can choose a voice, add your text, and make changes to the way the performance is delivered to help fine-tune the end product. You can change the accent, the speed, and the emotion to find the perfect performance. At the time of making this video, they have 59 different voices you can choose from. In my opinion, they all seem to have different flavors of what you might hear in a commercial.
Epidemic Sound, on the other hand, only has 20 voices. They just recently launched this feature, and I imagine they will be adding more voices in the future. Unlike Artlist, you can’t change the accent, but you can change the language, which essentially accomplishes the same thing. If you provide the script in English and choose Spanish, for instance, it won’t change the script to be in Spanish but will just add a Spanish accent to the English words. The only other thing you can change is the speed of the performance, just like on Artlist.
Unlike Artlist, though, you can add your own voice to Epidemic Sound. This feature is really cool and allows you to add additional details to podcasts or videos that you forgot to record in the moment, or just complete your videos faster.
So, which voices are better? They both sound great, actually. Artlist and Epidemic Sound both have amazing-sounding voices. How did they get their voices to sound so good? Well, they worked with real Voiceover artists to create voices that sound real and authentic.
I know there are a lot of ethical and creative conversations about whether or not we should be using AI voices in creative projects. Both company's websites talk about how they fairly compensated the artists involved in creating these voices. I don’t think these are replacements for actual Voiceover Artists dedicated to specific projects. You will get much better results if you work with a professional. But for a lot of smaller creators, these tools can help elevate your projects affordably to make your work better, faster. I’m going to continue to experiment with AI voices and possibly use them as examples for working with Voice Over Artists on future projects.
The biggest differences I saw weren’t with the quality of the voices but with the interfaces. There are several more tools to refine your Voiceover with Artlist. However, the export times were much faster with Epidemic Sound. Plus, when I fed a longer script to both platforms, Epidemic Sound handled it much better. Artlist outputs something that sounds a bit like a fever dream or nightmare fuel. It will take you longer to get to the finished product, but keeping your scripts shorter will produce better results when using Artlist.
So if you can get good results out of both how do you make your choice? The cost will probably be your biggest determining factor. Voices are included in the Epidemic Sound Commercial plan at $16.99 a month. You get 50,000 credits a month, which is about 1 hour of voiceover. Artlist, on the other hand, requires you to add on AI Voiceover starting at $11.99 a month for 1 hour of voiceover. If you combine this with music, you’ll be spending $22 a month before tax or VAT fees. You can pay more to get more credits, or you can pay $39.99 a month for Artlist Max to get 1 hour of credits included in your plan.
If you’re a smaller creator just starting out, I suggest going with Epidemic Sound, but if you have a bigger budget and want a wider variety of voices, Artlist could be the right option for you.
OK, goodbye!
