Creating a personalized avatar for a faceless YouTube channel can take your content to the next level. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it effortlessly using AI tools.
To start, generate a prompt that describes your desired avatar. If you’re not adept at crafting prompts, you can use AI tools like GitHub's Copilot or ChatGPT to help. For example, I asked Copilot to create a prompt for a young man in a white long-sleeve shirt and tie with a green jacket, seated at a table with a laptop, microphone, and a city view behind him.
Despite some errors in the initial prompt output, my focus was to use the prompt to generate several avatar images.
The AI produced four avatar images. It's crucial to choose an avatar that is facing the screen. Among the generated options, I selected one that met my criteria: a young man facing the camera with a laptop and microphone, in a greenish glowing room.
I further refined the prompt to add specific details like a green suit to give the avatar a mature look. After several trials, I obtained a final set of acceptable images and chose one for my channel.
To animate the avatar, I used Dubdub. You can upload your avatar, add text or an MP3 to make it speak. I created a simple text prompt "My name is Avatar, and I want to thank Dubdub for this amazing sponsorship," and selected a voice from Dubdub’s library.
Having set everything, I clicked on "Generate Talking Avatar" and waited for it to process. Once the avatar was ready, I previewed and downloaded it.
Using CapCut, I imported my animated avatar. If you wish to mute the default voice, you can do so in CapCut and overlay your own audio.
Dubdub offers various pricing plans—Professional ($ 30/month), Ultimate ($ 110/month), Personal ($ 11/month), and Pay-as-you-go. Each plan has different credit allocations for generating avatars.
Creating an animated talking avatar involves few steps but delivers a highly engaging element for your faceless YouTube channel. Utilize AI tools effectively, and transform your content effortlessly.
