How To Make Your Own ORIGINAL Sound On TikTok
Creating your own original sound on TikTok is a great way to stand out and potentially go viral, whether you're sharing a voiceover, custom music, or just a fun catchphrase. In this video, the creator explains a step-by-step process for making and uploading original audio to TikTok so others can use it too.
The easiest way to make your own sound is by recording a video directly within TikTok using your voice or any background audio you want. To do this, open the TikTok app, tap the plus icon at the bottom of the screen, and start recording a video. Make sure your original audio is clearly heard in the video—you can speak, sing, play an instrument, or even just make a fun sound effect.
Alternatively, if you already have a video or audio clip saved in your phone's gallery, you can upload it. Tap the plus icon, then tap "Upload" to select the pre-recorded clip from your gallery. Once selected, TikTok will process the video, and your sound will automatically be tagged as "original sound" linked to your account.
When you're done editing and ready to post, make sure not to add any additional background music from TikTok’s library—this ensures your voice or audio becomes the default sound for that post. After you publish the video, go to your profile and tap on the video you just uploaded. You’ll see the sound icon at the bottom of the screen, showing your profile picture and the label "original sound."
From there, you can tap the pencil icon to rename the sound to something catchy or recognizable. This makes it easier for others to find and reuse it. If your privacy settings allow, other users will be able to tap your video’s sound and use it in their own TikTok creations.
