Voice Selection

VidRush’s voice library includes two categories:

VidRush Exclusive Voices (25 voices): Developed in partnership with ElevenLabs specifically for VidRush. They’re optimized for different content niches like Finance, Real Estate, True Crime, News, History, and more. Search “VidRush” in the voice library to find them. These are tested by the team and proven to perform well across long generations.

ElevenLabs Library (100+ voices): The full range of standard ElevenLabs voices is also available. Browse or search by name to find additional options. Quality and stability can vary across this broader library, so test before committing to a long video.

Aim for natural, not perfect. A slightly less polished voice (what some creators call the “bedroom recorder” effect) often builds more viewer trust than a flawless corporate narrator. The goal is to sound like a real person, not a news anchor.

Avoid “Upbeat” or “Special” voices. Highly expressive, intense, or exaggerated voices are more likely to glitch, break character, or produce garbled audio during longer generations. Stick to grounded, conversational voices for consistent quality throughout the entire video.

If you want to use your own narration instead of AI text-to-speech, you have two options:

Custom Voiceover upload: Record your narration externally and upload the audio file directly. VidRush builds the video around your recording. See Custom Voiceover for file requirements and instructions.

ElevenLabs voice clone: If you’ve trained a clone of your voice through ElevenLabs , you can find and select it in VidRush’s voice library. This lets you use AI-generated narration that sounds like you, without recording every script manually.

Audio glitches in the preview: Don’t panic. Most slurring, cutting out, or garbled audio in the editor preview is a browser buffering issue, not a permanent problem. Click Render Video first. About 90% of preview glitches resolve in the final rendered file.

If the issue persists in the final render, report the Video ID to the support team. This is always the first thing the team needs to investigate.

Voice sounds different mid-video: This is occasionally a pre-render artifact. Render the video and check the final file. If the issue persists, report the Video ID to the support team through the Crisp chat widget.

Voice disappeared from the library: ElevenLabs occasionally retires voices. If a voice you previously used is no longer available, browse the library for a similar tone or contact support through the Crisp chat widget for help choosing an alternative.
