How to Create Talking Avatars with AI

Introduction

Hey creators! If you're eager to learn how to make a talking avatar video from your AI art using AI tools, you are definitely in the right place. Thanks to amazing tools like ChatGPT and art generators like Midjourney, AI is exploding like never before, and I'm here for it 100 percent. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating your own talking avatar video.

Step 1: Prepare Your Profile Picture

Firstly, you'll need a profile-type picture—ideally a frontal image with the full face showing, a neutral expression, and a closed mouth. This ensures the best results. You can use images from any source, including art generators like Midjourney.

Next, sign up for a free account at d-id.com. We will use this platform to generate both the video and the text-to-speech audio.

Step 3: Writing Your Script with ChatGPT

If you need help with a script for your avatar, tools like ChatGPT are incredibly useful for generating conversational dialogue and text.

Step 4: Navigating the D-ID Dashboard

Step 5: Choose Your Avatar

On the Create Video tab, select your avatar. You can upload your own avatar or generate one with Stability AI.

Image Requirements: Good lighting, proper angles, appropriate sizing, and a neutral facial expression are crucial for best results.

Step 6: Creating Your Video

Prepare your script with a 3,875 character limit, select your language, voice, and emotional or vocal style. Then press the "Generate Video" button. The video rendering process for a 30-second clip usually takes between 20 to 30 seconds.

Example Script:

We are already seeing AI being used in hospitals to help with diagnostics and treatment plans, but the [potential for AI in healthcare](https://www.topview.ai/blog/detail/how-artificial-intelligence-can-impact-healthcare) is so much greater. Imagine a future where AI can [predict and prevent diseases](https://www.topview.ai/blog/detail/How-AI-Could-Change-the-Future-of-Medicine) before they even happen, or where robots can assist in surgeries with precision and accuracy that's impossible for humans. One example of this is AI-assisted cancer detection. Researchers have developed AI algorithms that can analyze medical images and detect cancer with a level of accuracy that's on par with human experts.

Conclusion

Once generated, the videos will be stored in your video library on D-ID. You can download, share, or further edit them as required. Feel free to comment below if and how you would use an avatar like this.
