Select the topic your avatar will discuss and use the following tools:

Chat GPT:

  1. Creative Schema: Ask for a schema for your topic.

Step 3: Generate the Voiceover

Using 11 Labs:

  1. Account Setup: Register for a free or paid plan.
  2. Voice Selection: Browse and select the most suitable voice.
