Make a two-voice conversation video

· Conversations · 25 min

What you'll make

Conversation videos use two or more voices instead of one narrator. They hold attention well for lessons, debates, myth-busting and podcast-style clips, because the viewer hears a question and an answer.

Step 1: Plan the conversation

Decide who is talking and why. For example, a 60-second clip where Maya asks the questions a beginner would ask, and Leo answers them about saving money.

Step 2: Write the dialogue

Write each line with the speaker’s name first:

Maya: Okay, honest question. Why is saving so hard?
Leo: Because you save what's left. Flip it: save first, spend what's left.
Maya: Like, on payday?
Leo: The same day. Set it to move automatically, so you never see it.
Maya: That's it?
Leo: That's most of it. Small and automatic beats big and someday.

Keep lines short. Real people interrupt and react, so let your speakers do that too.

Step 3: Create the project

Create a new video and choose the conversation format. Paste the dialogue. Zaga gives each line to its speaker.

Step 4: Pick the voices

Choose two voices that sound clearly different: one brighter, one calmer works well. Preview the first exchange and adjust until it sounds like two people, not one person twice.

Step 5: Visuals and captions

Pick a style for the scenes behind the voices. Turn on captions with the speaker’s name or colour, so viewers can follow with the sound off.

Step 6: Export

Export 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and 16:9 if you want a longer version for YouTube.

Share it with #MadeWithZaga and post the style and voices you used in the caption.
