# Tiny Desk AI Voice & Sound — Listen Before You Generate

> Hear the soundtrack your Tiny Desk AI video keeps. See a real photo-to-video example, understand why changing a face does not change the voice, and download without sound.

Your Tiny Desk AI video keeps the original stage song and singing voice. Uploading a different photo changes the lead performer’s appearance; it does not change the vocals, clone your voice or select a new singer.

## Listen to the soundtrack first

This is the sound in the real example below. The built-in stage uses the same audio. Listening is free and does not use a generation credit.

If this voice is not right for your idea, check the alternatives below before buying a video.

## One real input, one real generated result

Input photo. An AI-created fictional adult portrait, not a customer’s private upload.

[Watch the video example](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/assets/demo-template15-result.mp4)

Actual output. Generated here from this portrait and the original stage: 15 seconds, 720 × 1280, with the stage audio retained. Watch the whole clip; likeness and motion can vary.

The original stage is an original synthetic performance. It is not NPR concert footage and does not contain the “Outstanding” recording. Compare the [original stage and finished take](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/#template-preview) to see what changed.

## Why does a male photo still have the same singing voice?

The portrait is a visual reference. In this workflow, the video is generated around that reference and the stage soundtrack is kept. A male or female portrait does not select a corresponding voice. Generating the photo again will not change that soundtrack.

There is currently no male/female voice selector, voice cloning, song picker or MP3 upload in the built-in stage mode. The [singing-photo guide](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/singing-photo/) compares this workflow with tools that animate a portrait to an audio input.

## What can I do if I want different sound?

| What you want | What you can do here | What to expect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Keep the preview’s song and voice | Use the original stage with one adult portrait. | A 15-second vertical video with that stage audio. |
| Download without sound | Choose “Download silent MP4” on the completed result. | The same video without audio; no new generation credit. |
| Use your own recorded performance | Open Advanced mode and upload a permitted 4–5 second MP4 or MOV with supported AAC audio. | A five-second edit retaining that clip’s audio; a silent source stays silent. |
| Change the song or clone a voice from a photo | Not supported in the current generator. | A photo alone does not provide a recording of someone’s voice. |

You can add permitted music to the silent download in a separate editor. That does not automatically make the generated lips match the new song. If lip sync matters, review the full performance and choose a workflow designed for your intended audio.

## Why can’t I hear the preview or my result?

- Press play in the audio player above, or use “Click for sound” on the original stage. The stage video initially plays muted.
- Check the player volume, browser tab mute setting and your device’s output volume.
- For a completed video, play the regular result or use “Download video.” “Download silent MP4” intentionally has no audio.
- In Advanced mode, check whether your source clip has audio. The service does not add vocals to a silent source.

If the normal download is unexpectedly silent even though the source has supported audio, contact [support](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/about/) with the request reference from [My videos](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/account/). Do not spend another credit just to troubleshoot playback.

## Check these details before generating

Listen to the stage, inspect the actual result above, and choose one clear photo of a consenting adult. Review the face, hands, microphone and mouth movements in the finished video; preserving the audio does not guarantee perfect lip sync. The [pricing page](https://tinydeskaigenerator.com/pricing/) shows the current one-time packs. Free playback of examples is separate from paid generation.
