A clear, friendly voice guiding viewers through each room turns raw footage into a story. It highlights selling points, keeps attention, and feels professional—even if you filmed on a phone.

Synthetic voices now sound almost human, so you can produce polished narration fast and at low cost. 

What is a synthesised voice-over?

Text-to-speech (TTS) software converts your written script into spoken audio. Modern TTS tools let you choose accent, emotion, pace, and even clone your own voice, so the narration matches your brand tone without hiring voice talent. 

8-Step Workflow for Property Video Walk-Through Narrations

1. Plan the story

   • Write a simple outline: entrance → living areas → bedrooms → outdoor spaces.

2. Capture steady video

   • Use a gimbal or slow walking shots. Keep clips short (5–10 seconds each).

3. Draft the script

   • One or two sentences per clip. Keep sentences under 20 words so the voice stays clear.

4. Choose your TTS tool & voice

   • Select accent, gender, and emotion that suits your market.

5. Generate the audio

   • Paste the script, tweak speed and pauses, then export the file (usually MP3 or WAV).

6. Sync audio to video

   • Drop both into a video editor. Match each sentence to its clip on the timeline.

7. Add extras

   • Light background music, captions, logos, and call-to-action slides.

8. Review & export

   • Check pronunciation, volume, and timing. Render in 1080p for portals and social channels.

Extra Tips

• Consistency matters: Use the same voice and volume across all listings to build recognisable branding.

• Mind the echo: Record in furnished rooms or add light reverb in editing to avoid a “studio” feel.

• Pronunciation fixes: Most TTS tools let you spell tricky suburb names phonetically or adjust with SSML tags.

• Caption everything: Adding on-screen text supports viewers who watch with sound off and meets accessibility guidelines.

Compliance & Accessibility

Always disclose that a video is for marketing purposes if required by state laws. Include closed captions and alt-text so viewers with hearing impairments receive the full message.

Pick one tool, test a 30-second sample on your next listing, and measure viewer engagement. Once confident, roll out narrated walk-throughs across your entire portfolio for a consistent, high-quality viewing experience.
