Creating Talking Avatars: Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

Welcome back to the channel! In this guide, I will walk you through the process of creating talking avatars using advanced AI tools. From generating images to adding voiceovers, we’ll cover everything step-by-step. So grab your note-taking materials and let’s dive in!

Step 1: Creating Your Avatar

To start, I utilize ChatGPT in conjunction with DALL-E 3 to design my avatar. Here’s how:

Generating Images:
- I prepare my prompt in ChatGPT and paste it into DALL-E 3 to create the avatar image.
- Once the images are generated, I select my favorite, which in this case is the second option, and download it.
Editing in Canva:
- I then upload the chosen image into Canva, using a 16:9 video format.
- I place my avatar onto the canvas and apply the Magic Expand tool to adjust its size, creating a more focused visual for the video.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Image

Once I expand the avatar image, I have several options to choose from. After reviewing them, I select option three, download it in PNG format, and upload it to my D-ID account.

Step 3: Adding Voice and Script

Creating the Script:
- I then return to ChatGPT to generate a script for my avatar. For this video, I have chosen nighttime affirmations as the theme.
Generating Voiceover with ElevenLabs:
- Next, I access ElevenLabs to generate voice audio. I have already cloned my voice using previous recordings, but there’s a variety of voices available for selection.
Combining Components:
- After generating the voice, I return to Canva to upload the audio file. It requires credits from my D-ID account based on the audio length.

Step 4: Finalizing the Video

Once everything is set, I generate the final video within D-ID. Despite the watermark, I cover it with my logo to maintain a professional appearance. Finally, I have my video, which can be resized for different platforms and uploaded wherever I wish.

Conclusion

Through this straightforward process of combining image creation, voice generation, and editing, I can bring my avatars to life. I’m excited to share more about my design processes in the future, and I appreciate you joining me on this journey!
