Tips for realistic, engaging AI talking photos

Drawing on current research and production best practices:

Use high-quality, front-facing portraits
Clear eyes, minimal occlusions (no heavy sunglasses), and good lighting significantly improve lip sync and eye movement quality.
Keep scripts concise and structured
Short, focused videos (20–60 seconds) generally perform better for marketing and product content and reduce uncanny artifacts.
Match voice tone to persona
- For B2B: calm, confident, medium-paced delivery
- For DTC/consumer: slightly higher energy, more expressive tone
  You can experiment quickly with AI Voice Generator.
Design for sound-off environments
Add subtitles with Auto Subtitle Generator and ensure your first frame works as a strong thumbnail, or create a dedicated cover with Thumbnail Maker.
Test multiple variants
Create A/B versions by changing:
- Opening line and CTA
- Persona (founder vs. character)
- Visual style (professional headshot vs. illustrated character using AI Illustration Generator)
