AI Talking Avatar

AI talking avatar turns one photo into a video of that person speaking any script with natural lip-sync, blinks, and head motion. Oakgen pairs talking-avatar generation with voice cloning so you can produce explainer videos, course intros, or marketing content without a camera, studio, or on-screen presenter.

Key fact
Oakgen's talking avatar preserves subtle head motion and eye contact from the source photo — a frontal portrait becomes a naturally animated presenter, not a stiff puppet.

Why AI Talking Avatar

One photo input
A single frontal portrait is all you need. No multi-angle capture, no 3D rig, no studio booking.
Paired voice cloning
Use the same person's cloned voice for a fully-personalized avatar, or pick from 150+ stock voices.
29 languages
Generate the same avatar speaking 29 different languages with preserved timbre and accent.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my own face?
Yes — the most common use case. Upload a clear frontal portrait of yourself, optionally pair with your cloned voice, and generate unlimited videos.
How long can the video be?
Up to 5 minutes per single generation. For longer content, chain multiple generations — Oakgen's editor stitches them with seamless transitions.
How much does it cost per minute?
About 300–500 credits per minute of generated avatar video (~$1.20–$2 per minute), depending on resolution.
Does it work with non-human avatars?
Yes — cartoon characters, 3D renders, and stylized portraits all work as long as the mouth and eye regions are clearly visible in the source photo.
