How do I make an AI talking avatar?
Short answer
Upload a clear portrait photo, provide your script as text or audio, select a voice and speaking style, and generate a lip-synced talking avatar video.
Recommended mode: DirectorScenario: Building an AI spokesperson video for a product walkthrough where a digital avatar delivers a scripted presentation with natural lip movements.
Execution Steps
- 1Prepare a high-resolution, front-facing portrait photo with neutral expression and even lighting.
- 2Write your script or record audio narration, keeping segments under 60 seconds for best lip-sync accuracy.
- 3Upload the portrait and script to an AI talking avatar tool, selecting the desired voice, language, and speaking pace.
- 4Preview the generated avatar and check for lip-sync accuracy, head movement naturalness, and audio clarity.
- 5Export in your target resolution and format, adding background or lower-third graphics in post-production if needed.
Prompt Template
Create a talking avatar video from this portrait photo. The avatar should speak the provided script in a professional, friendly tone at moderate pace. Add subtle head movements and natural eye blinks.
Common Failure Points
- Using a side-profile or heavily filtered photo that confuses facial landmark detection
- Writing overly long scripts without pauses, causing unnatural speech cadence
- Choosing a voice that does not match the apparent age or gender of the avatar photo
- Skipping the preview step and batch-generating without quality checks
