Step-by-Step Guide
Upload Portrait
Upload a clear, front-facing portrait photo. The face should be well-lit with neutral expression for best animation results.
Add Audio or Script
Upload audio for lip-sync, or type your script. Choose from AI voices or clone your own voice for personalized content.
Select Animation Style
Choose animation intensity and style. Options range from subtle lip movements to expressive full-face animation.
Generate Talking Video
Generate your talking avatar video. The AI syncs lips, adds natural expressions, and creates realistic head movements.
Tips for Best Results
Use Front-Facing Photos
Direct eye contact and neutral expressions animate most naturally. Avoid extreme angles or partially visible faces.
Quality Audio Matters
Clear audio without background noise produces better lip-sync. Use a good microphone or AI text-to-speech for best results.
Keep Videos Concise
Shorter videos (30-60 seconds) maintain better quality and engagement. Break longer content into multiple clips.
Match Voice to Face
Choose AI voices that match the apparent age and gender of your portrait for more believable results.
