YouTube has announced a set of new features for YouTube Shorts, some of which are available now, like a
new text-to-speech video narration that lets you add an artificial voiceover. On TikTok, those are the
sometimes startlingly robotic voices that you hear a lot on videos with something to promote.
The process for adding them is a lot like TikTok’s, in fact: after you create some text, you’ll tap a new
“add voice” icon that, in Shorts, sits in the upper-left corner of the screen and pick the voice you
want. YouTube only offers four voices to choose from at the moment, whereas TikTok has… quite a few more.
