James Cameron, you’d better start taking notes – I’m about to put the “Avatar” in “avatar”. In this guide, you’ll learn how to create a talking AI avatar video, no unobtainium needed.
Step 1: Assemble Your Blue Alien – Minus the Blue
First things first, we need an avatar. Don’t worry, this one won’t require a mind-meld or a trip to Pandora.
Journey to playgroundai.com (Playground AI). It’s like a tailor shop, but for digital personalities.
Bear in mind, you can also use any AI avatar creation site you’re comfortable with, like Midjourney. Whichever you choose, make sure your avatar looks ready to save the universe.
Step 2: No Subtitles Necessary
Sure, the Na’vi language is cool, but we’re going to make things a bit easier. Our star needs a voice.
For that, we’re going to need the digital vocal chords offered by beta.elevenlabs.io (Eleven labs).
Compose the script you want your avatar to deliver. Make it as profound or as hilarious as you want.
Choose the perfect voice. Remember, tone matters. After all, who can forget Neytiri’s impassioned speeches?
Once you’ve chosen the voice, download the audio file. This is your star’s voice-over.
Step 3: Ready for the Red Carpet!
Now we’re getting to the exciting part – producing your feature film.
Make your way to studio.d-id.com (Studio d-id). This is where we’ll transform your components into a video worthy of Pandora.
Sign up if this is your first time using their services. It’s like joining a directors’ guild, but easier.
Upload your stylish avatar and the voice-over. Hit ‘Generate’, sit back, and watch as your digital star comes to life.
Congratulations! You’ve just directed your own talking avatar video using AI. You’re practically ready to take on Cameron at the box office.
Now, why not show off a bit? Share your AI creations in the comments section. Who knows, Cameron himself might be scouting for new talent…
It took us 5 minutes to generate this video… I know, not an Oscar winner…
