How to Script the Narrator Trend

ere’s how to join in on the viral trend where an AI voice narrates your thoughts, a dramatic story, or a funny situation.

Step 1: Write Your Script

Keep it short and snappy. Narrator Trend videos usually follow this format:

"This is (your name). Just a normal person... until [insert unexpected twist].It all started on a random 
Tuesday..."

Here’s a sample script:

This is (your name). She/He thought it was going to be a normal day.Then they saw *him/she*—the guy/girl who stole their lunch three years ago.And guess what? They were working at the drive-thru.So what 
hey/she did what anyone would do... they ordered extra hot sauce.Revenge never tasted so sweet.

Keep the tone dramatic, ironic, or funny!

Step 2: Add Text and Convert to Voice

1. Tap Text > Add Text
2. Paste your script
3. Select Text-to-Speech (TTS) icon
4. Choose a narrator voice (e.g., "Narrator", "Siri", "Dramatic", etc.)

CapCut will convert the text into a voiceover automatically.

Bonus Tips to Make It Trendy

• Add subtitles that match the voiceover for accessibility and impact.
• Use filters, sound effects, or dramatic music.
• Use CapCut Templates if you want a ready-made format with visual flair.
• Sync your video to trending sounds on TikTok.

Export and Share

Once your video is ready:

• Tap Export (top right)
• Choose resolution (720p or 1080p is fine)
• Share directly to TikTok, Instagram, or save it to your device

Fun Script Ideas You Can Edit

Dramatic Script

"He thought it was just another Tuesday.
But as he stepped outside, the sky darkened... and so did his luck.
One wrong turn, and suddenly, he was three hours deep into a conspiracy theory on YouTube.
He wasn't ready... but fate never waits."

Funny Script

"There he was, confidently walking into the room…
Until he realized it wasn’t his meeting.
Not his coworkers.
Not even his company.
He just joined a Zoom call with a group of lawyers.
In pajamas. Holding a taco."

Relatable/Sad Script

"She smiled in the photos, laughed at the jokes, and said she was fine.
But nobody noticed the way her eyes lingered on happy people.
Nobody asked why she started going quiet.
She wasn’t looking for attention.
She was hoping someone would just… notice."

Pet POV Script (Funny/Wholesome)

"This is Max. He’s a good boy.
But today, his hooman left the house…
Without giving him a treat.
So he plotted his revenge.
Step one: look sad.
Step two: poop in her shoe.
Step three: deny everything."

Petty/Spicy Script

"She saw her ex… with someone new.
So she smiled, waved, and walked past like she was on a runway.
Little did he know, her playlist was already on ‘Bad B**** Mode.’
And her group chat? Exploding."

Overthinking Trend Script

"He said ‘see you later.’
But did he mean it?
Was it just a polite goodbye?
Should she have said ‘take care’ instead?
Why is she still thinking about this eight hours later…
While Googling: ‘signs he hates you secretly’?"
