What This Template Does

You can:
- Upload any face photo or character image
- Use your own voice (via audio upload) or an AI voice
- Generate a talking head video ready for social, landing pages, or product demos
- Remix and adapt it for different scripts, languages, and channels
Because it’s template-based, you can keep your visual style, framing, and character consistent across dozens or hundreds of videos.
