Introduction

Hey everyone, welcome back! Thanks for joining again, and happy New Year! If this is your first time here, you’re in for a treat. Today we're learning how to make a basic starter avatar that has a talking head and moves.

Setting Up Your AI and Image Generator

Use Your Bar Subscription: Start by creating your prompts. I already have a prompt listed in the description bar, so feel free to use it or modify it as you see fit.
Image Generator: I use a subscription-based image generator which allows you to create your own models. Introduce the script that you’ve made, and let the generator work its magic.

Finding and Customizing Your Avatar

Choose Your Avatar: Browse through the models to find a picture that works for you.
Modify Images: If you’re not satisfied, make deep modular changes to your avatar using the image generator’s tools.
Final Choice: Once satisfied, select your favorite avatar.

Enhancing the Avatar with Canva

Upload to Canva: Insert your downloaded image into Canva.
Magic Expand Tool: Use Canva's magic expand tool to fill in the 16:9 ratio and ensure the picture looks great.
Select Your Favorite Option: Canva provides multiple options; pick the one you like best.

Creating the Voice with 11 Labs

Subscription to 11 Labs: Use 11 Labs for instant voice cloning. You'll need to record some audio for this.
Upload Audio: Follow the instructions to upload your audio and create a language model that sounds like you.

Combining into a Final Product

Text to Speech: Using your language model, generate the script for your avatar.
Official Did Software: Combine the avatar picture and generated audio using the official Did software for the final output.

The Result

"And there you have it, friends! We’ve completed our talking avatar—another pixelated piece of ourselves released into the digital cosmos. It’s a moment ripe with both relief and anticipation."
