Upload an audio performance
Use a finished recording when pronunciation, pauses, and tone are already right. Listen for background noise and overlapping voices so the spoken message remains clear.
AI Talking Avatar from a Photo and Speech
Create a lip-synced talking video with Magnific AI by pairing a portrait with spoken audio. Upload your recording or generate speech from a script in the avatar workspace. Use it for a presenter introduction, a lesson, or a character delivering a message.
Use Your Recording or Generate the Speech
Choose the source that gives you the delivery you want before generating the talking avatar.
Turn a written script into speech
Choose Generate Speech, select a voice, and enter the words to be spoken. This creates the audio used for the avatar; the separate animation prompt describes the visual performance.
Prepare a Portrait That Can Speak Clearly
The image establishes the face and composition. Give the tool an unobstructed view of the features that need to move.
Keep the face visible
Choose a sharply focused portrait with the eyes and mouth clearly visible. Even lighting and a clear view of the face give your talking avatar a strong visual starting point for expression and speech.
Leave room for expression
Frame the head and shoulders with some space around them. Use an image whose visual style suits the message, whether it is a presenter introduction or an illustrated character.
Direct the Delivery and Choose the Output
Set the visual performance separately from the spoken words, then choose 720p or 1080p.
Describe the visible performance
Use the animation prompt to describe expression, posture, or restrained movement appropriate to the message. Keep it consistent with the speech rather than adding unrelated actions.
Review speech and movement together
Watch the mouth timing, facial expression, and head movement while listening to the audio. Check the opening and ending so the message begins cleanly and finishes naturally.
Put a Face to Your Message
A talking avatar works best when the audience has a clear reason to listen.
Presenter introductions
Create a brief welcome, product introduction, or announcement. Keep the opening direct and make the main point easy to hear without relying on small text in the image.
Lessons and character narration
Break an explanation into short spoken sections or let a fictional character deliver a line. For a longer piece, generate the sections you need and arrange them in your editor.
Choose Speech Animation or General Motion
A talking photo and a motion-driven clip use different inputs to direct the result.
A portrait speaking an audio track
Choose the avatar tool when spoken delivery is the main event. You control the words through a script or recording and use the portrait as the visual subject.
A character performing an action
Choose image to video to describe an action, or motion control to follow a reference performance. Those tools are more direct starting points for movement that is not primarily speech.
Talking Avatar FAQ
Photos, scripts, audio uploads, and preparing a clear spoken performance.
Can I make a photo talk from a written script with Magnific AI?
Yes. In the Magnific AI avatar tool, choose Generate Speech, select a voice, and enter your script. Upload the portrait and describe the visual performance. The generated speech supplies the words and timing for the talking video.
Can I use my own voice recording?
Yes. Choose Upload Audio and provide your recording. Use clear speech with minimal background noise, and listen to the full track before generating so the words, pacing, and pauses are already right.
How long can the uploaded audio be?
Upload a recording up to five minutes long. For a longer presentation, organize the script into sections, create each talking-avatar segment, and assemble the selected clips in your video editor.
What goes in the script and what goes in the animation prompt?
The script contains the words the avatar should say. The animation prompt describes how the character should appear or move while speaking. If you upload audio, that file supplies the spoken words instead.
What kind of photo works well for a talking avatar?
Use a clear view of one face with visible eyes and mouth and enough room around the head. For an illustration, keep the facial features easy to distinguish. Match the image’s expression and framing to the performance you want.
Can I make avatar videos in different languages?
Yes. Prepare a script or recording in the language you want your avatar to speak. Upload the audio or generate speech with a suitable voice, then pair it with your portrait to create a localized introduction, lesson, or message.
Can I create a talking avatar in 1080p?
Yes. Select 1080p for a full HD talking avatar, or choose 720p to match your project. Pair the resolution with a clear portrait to present facial expression and lip-synced speech in a product introduction, lesson, or character scene.
