Tips for Best Results
Image quality matters
- Use a clear, unobstructed face with good lighting. Avoid extreme angles, heavy motion blur, or tiny crops of faces.
- If needed, fix issues first with AI Image Editor or Remove Object from Photo.
Match persona, script, and voice
- Align vocal tone with the character’s visual style (formal for corporate avatars, casual for UGC-style content, playful for characters).
- For brand work, keep terminology and phrasing consistent with your existing copy and product language.
Keep scripts focused
- Short, focused scripts tend to perform better on social and in retargeting ads.
- For support or education, break topics into multiple short talking-photo clips rather than one long monologue.
