How to make a voiceover with background music — free, in your browser
By GetMeAudio Team · · 4 min read
The usual way to put music under a voiceover is: generate the voice in one tool, download it, import both tracks into a video editor, keyframe the music volume down under the speech, and export. This guide does the whole thing in a browser tab.
Step 1 — Paste your script
Open the GetMeAudio editor and paste your script. The character counter shows an estimated duration, so you can trim to length before generating anything.
Step 2 — Add pauses where they matter
Click where you want silence and use Insert pause. Pauses are placed as visible chips in the script, with exact lengths (0.1 s to minutes). Auto-breathe adds natural short gaps after sentences in one click.
Step 3 — Pick music and set the mix
Choose a track in the Background music menu, or upload your own MP3/WAV. Set the music volume and leave Duck under voice on: the music automatically drops while the voice speaks and swells back in the pauses. That's the effect editors keyframe by hand.
Step 4 — Draft for free until it sounds right
Play script uses a voice built into your browser — free and unlimited — so you can iterate on wording, pauses, speed, and the music mix without spending anything.
Step 5 — Preview the real voice
Pick a cloud voice (Natural or Standard quality) and hit Play script in the real-voice block. The preview is full quality — exactly what you'll download, up to ~30 seconds per clip with a free daily budget.
Step 6 — Download the finished MP3
The download renders the complete script with your pauses and the ducked music mixed in — one finished file, no editor needed. You pay only for what you download, from a prepaid AudioMinutes balance (a one-minute voiceover is about ₹5–9 / $0.15–0.25).
