Hey everyone! I am so excited to share my new favorite foundation. It blends in seamlessly for a flawless, natural finish, and it actually feels lightweight all day. A little goes a long way, so one bottle lasts for months.

A complete AI talking photo (digital human) generator: upload a portrait and an audio clip, or type a script and pick a voice, and get a lifelike talking video with synced lips, natural expressions, and gestures.

Star in it yourself, or build a digital spokesperson

No filming, no actor, no green screen. Upload one clear photo of yourself and you become the presenter who reads your script, in your own voice or a library voice. Or use a photo of a person who has given you permission and build a reusable digital host for product explainers, course intros, announcements, and ads. Regenerate new lines anytime without reshooting.

Two inputs for an AI talking photo: an uploaded audio waveform and a typed script with a voice picker

Two ways in: upload audio or type a script

Already have a voice recording? Upload it and the avatar lip-syncs to it. No audio? Switch to text mode — type what the avatar should say, choose a voice from the built-in text-to-speech library, and the script is synthesized into the driving audio for you. The estimated length and credit cost are shown before you generate.

Lifelike — not just a moving mouth

OmniHuman 1.5 reads the rhythm, prosody, and meaning of the audio to drive head movement, posture, and hand gestures alongside accurate lip-sync, while preserving the person’s identity and lighting. The result performs like a real presenter rather than a static portrait with an animated mouth.

How to Star in Your Own AI Talking Photo

Your photo, your words, one clip.

  1. 1

    Upload a photo of yourself

    A clear, front-facing photo works best: a phone selfie, a headshot, or a frame from a video. The talking photo AI reads your face from this single frame.

  2. 2

    Add your voice

    Record yourself and upload the audio, or type your script and pick one of 60 built-in voices. Audio can run up to 35 seconds.

  3. 3

    Generate, then reuse yourself

    The model syncs lips, expression, and natural head motion to the audio. Keep the same photo and generate new lines whenever you need them, with no reshoot.

How to Write a Script for an AI Talking Photo

There is no image prompt here — the portrait and the audio do the work. What you write is the script, and script choices decide whether the result looks natural.

1

Opening line

Start with something short. The first second is where lip sync is most visible.

Hey — quick one for you.

2

Sentence length

Keep sentences under about 15 words. Long clauses produce unnatural pauses.

This serum has two ingredients. That is the whole formula.

3

Punctuation

Commas and full stops become breaths. Use them where you would actually pause.

It works — and it takes ten seconds.

4

Length budget

Roughly 2.5 words per second. Write to the clip length you want.

~85 words for a 35-second clip

Vague

Our revolutionary product utilises cutting-edge technology to deliver unparalleled results for discerning customers seeking excellence.

Specific

This is the part people always ask about. Two ingredients, no filler. You will see the difference in about a week.

Why it works

The first is one 19-word sentence of abstractions — the avatar delivers it in a flat, breathless monotone because there is nowhere to pause. The second is three short sentences with natural stress points, which is what makes the delivery read as human.

Vague

Hello and welcome to our channel where today we will be discussing the five most important things you need to know about skincare routines.

Specific

Five things about skincare. Number one is the one people get wrong.

Why it works

Long run-on openings are where lip sync drifts most, because the model has no punctuation to anchor to. A short hook gives it clean stress points and holds attention better.

Habits worth dropping

  • Using a portrait where the face is small, angled, or partly shadowed. Lip-sync accuracy tracks directly with how clearly the mouth is visible in the source frame.
  • Writing past the audio limit. Generation caps at 35 seconds of audio — a longer script gets cut, so split it into segments and reuse the same portrait.
  • Dense technical wording. Numbers, acronyms, and long product names are where synthetic delivery sounds most obviously synthetic. Say them the way you would out loud.

Beyond the AI Avatar Video Generator

Talking avatars are one output. Image and video generation run from the same account.

AI Talking Photo — Frequently Asked Questions

1

What is an AI talking photo?

An AI talking photo, also called an AI avatar or digital human, is a generated talking video of a person built from a single photo and a voice. Instead of filming, you provide a portrait and audio (or a script + voice), and the model animates a lifelike speaking performance — used as a digital presenter, spokesperson, or narrator.

2

What do I need to create one?

A clear, front-facing portrait photo, plus either an audio clip (mp3/wav) or — in text mode — the script you want spoken and a voice picked from the built-in library. That is enough to generate a talking avatar video.

3

Can I use my own voice?

Yes. Upload your own audio recording and the avatar lip-syncs to it. If you do not have a recording, switch to text mode and choose a voice from the text-to-speech library instead.

4

How long can the avatar video be?

Up to 35 seconds of audio per generation. For longer scripts, split them into multiple clips. The estimated duration is shown as you type, and you are billed by the second of audio.

5

What can I use AI avatars for?

Common uses include product explainers and ads, course and onboarding narration, social talking-head clips, announcements, and multilingual versions of a message — anywhere you would otherwise need to film a presenter.

6

Which model powers the AI avatar?

CreateVision AI uses ByteDance’s OmniHuman 1.5, which drives lip-sync plus head motion and gestures from the audio. See the OmniHuman 1.5 model page for the technical details.

7

What photo works best in an AI avatar video generator?

A well-lit, front-facing portrait where the whole face is visible and in focus. Sunglasses, heavy shadow across the face, extreme angles, or a very small face in frame all reduce lip-sync accuracy.

8

Do I need to record my own voice?

No. You can type a script and pick a voice from the built-in library, which covers 60 voices across 10 languages. Uploading your own recording is supported if you would rather use it.

9

Can I star in the video myself?

Yes, and it is the most common use. Upload a photo of yourself, then either record your own voice or type a script and pick a library voice. The result is you, saying your words, without a camera setup. Many creators keep one good photo and generate new clips from it every week.

10

Can I use an AI talking photo commercially?

Yes. Under the CreateVision AI Terms of Service, content you generate can be used for personal and commercial purposes, with attribution to CreateVision AI where appropriate. You are responsible for having the rights to the photo and the voice you upload, and for any AI-disclosure rules on the platform where you publish.

11

I used to put myself in videos with Sora. Is this the same thing?

Same goal, different mechanics. Here your photo is the identity and your audio or script drives the speech, so the output is a talking-head clip with lip sync rather than a scene you are dropped into. It works from any single photo, needs no video enrollment, and does not depend on another app staying available.
