An AI presenter lip-synced to a script.
No filming, no actor, no studio
A presenter on camera. No camera.
Pick an AI character (or upload a reference image to generate a custom one), paste your script, and MakeAIVideo lip-syncs the presenter to a natural AI voiceover with word-by-word captions, then renders an MP4. A spokesperson video without filming, hiring, or a studio, and because the character is AI-generated rather than cloned from a real person, there's no actor likeness to license. Prefer scenes over a face? Script to video narrates the same words over AI footage.
Lip-synced delivery
The character's mouth matches the voiceover, frame by frame.
Your own character
Use a library face or upload a reference image to generate a consistent presenter.
Natural AI voice
Match the voice to the character from a curated library of narrators.
How it works
How talking avatar works
- 01
Pick an AI character
Choose a presenter from the curated library, or upload a reference image and the pipeline generates a consistent custom character from it. No real person is filmed, cloned, or recorded; the character is AI-generated and synthetic from the start.
- 02
Paste your script and pick a voice
Drop the words you want said into the script box and choose a voice from a curated library of natural narrators. Match the voice to the character's apparent age, tone, and pace before generating.
- 03
Generate and download
MakeAIVideo lip-syncs the presenter to the voiceover frame by frame, adds word-by-word captions, and renders a 1080p MP4 sized for the aspect ratio you picked. Open in the editor to tweak, or post the default output.
Render a talking avatar in your browser
Pick the character, paste the script, generate.
Every presenter clip in one place
Renders land in your library, ready to download, re-edit, or repost across channels with captions baked in. Because the presenter is an AI character (not a real person you've cloned) and the voice is synthetic, the output is clear of actor likeness and rights issues, use it in ads, client work, and social posts without a legal review.

No rights headaches
An AI character and synthetic voice, so there's no actor likeness to license.

What you can make
Personal brand
Build a recognisable on-camera presence without filming. The same AI presenter, every week, with a consistent look and voice across every clip.
Spokesperson clips
Replace actor casting, studio time, and licensing fees for ad creative, product pitches, and explainer videos. The AI character carries the brand without the rights overhead.
Product walkthroughs
Narrate a feature tour or onboarding flow with a friendly face. No coordination with engineering or design; re-render any time the product changes.
Course intros
Open every lesson with a consistent instructor: clean audio, focused framing, no background noise. The same presenter scales across hundreds of modules.
Social UGC-style
Match the talking-head format that wins on TikTok and Reels without filming yourself. Honest framing: the presenter is an AI character, not a real creator.
If you want generated scenes rather than a presenter on camera, Prompt to Video or Script to Video is the better fit.
Best practices
Tips for the best results
- Use a well-lit reference
- If you're uploading your own reference image, choose a frontal shot with even lighting on the face. Side-lit or backlit photos lip-sync less accurately than well-lit ones.
- Keep the script conversational
- Natural speech lip-syncs better than tongue-twisters or dense technical jargon. Read the script aloud once before generating; if it trips you up, it will trip the model up too.
- Match the voice to the character
- A young face with an elderly voice (or vice versa) breaks the illusion. Pick a voice that fits the character's apparent age and tone before generating.
- Aim for 30 to 90 seconds
- Talking-head videos work best in the 30 to 90 second range. Beyond two minutes, viewer retention drops sharply, especially on social.
- Front-load the hook
- The first three seconds decide whether the clip survives the scroll. Open with the most interesting line, not a generic greeting.
- Don't oversell with an AI presenter
- AI avatars work best for educational, explainer, and informational content. Overly emotional or hard-sell delivery from an AI character reads as inauthentic faster than from a human.

Frequently asked questions
What is a talking avatar video?
A talking avatar video features an AI character (the presenter) lip-synced to an AI voiceover of your script. MakeAIVideo generates it without a camera, filming, or a real actor.
Can I use my own character?
Yes. Upload a reference image and MakeAIVideo generates a consistent AI character from it. Voice selection comes from a curated library of natural AI voices.
Is it a real person?
No. The presenter is an AI-generated character, not a real person, and the voice is AI-synthesised. That keeps you clear of likeness and rights issues.
Does it include captions?
Yes. Word-by-word captions are generated and timed to the voiceover, in your choice of caption style.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $29/month with a 7-day free trial and $0 due today. Talking-head generation costs more credits per second than narrated styles.
How long can the script be?
Talking-avatar clips work best in the 30 to 90 second range, where viewer retention is strongest. Longer scripts are supported, but render time and credit cost scale with the spoken duration.
How long does it take to render?
Most talking-avatar clips render in two to five minutes depending on length and the model picked. The render lands in your library when it's ready; close the tab and come back if needed.
What aspect ratios are supported?
9:16 vertical (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts), 16:9 landscape (YouTube), and 1:1 square (Instagram feed). Pick the ratio before generating.
Can I use the clips commercially?
Yes. Videos generated on a paid plan are yours to use commercially, for ads, product pages, social posts, and client work. See the terms.
What happens after my 7-day trial?
Your plan starts billing at its monthly rate at the end of the trial. Cancel any time during the trial for no charge and you won't be billed.
