Tips for higher‑quality talking photos

Start with a clear, front‑facing image
- The face should be well-lit, not heavily occluded (no large sunglasses, masks, etc.), and reasonably high resolution.
- If needed, sharpen or upscale first using Unblur Image and AI Image Upscaler.
Use consistent characters
- For ongoing content series, define one or more “house” characters.
- Generate consistent portraits with AI Headshot Generator or AI Selfie Generator.
Pair with clear, structured scripts
- Break complex explanations into short, focused segments.
- Use a conversational style for better perceived naturalness when combined with AI Voice Generator.
Optimize for where it will be used
- For feeds (LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram), shorter, high‑impact scripts perform better.
- For onboarding or educational content, prioritize clarity and pacing over speed.
