Congrats, you’ve successfully filmed a video on TikTok.
Now, you’re left with changing your voice by using the “Voice effects” feature.

Choose your favorite voice effect, then tap anywhere on your screen.
The voice effect will be applied to your recording and original audio.
Tap on “Next” after you’ve selected the voice effect.
Step #3: Post the video
Edit your caption > select the cover > post the video.
After you’ve tapped on “Next”, you’ll land on the posting screen.
