How to CREATE talking AVATARS using FREE AI Tools | STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Howto & Style
Introduction
In this article, we will explore how to create a talking Avatar using free AI tools. Whether you are a content creator, educator, business enthusiast, or simply someone looking to enhance your online presence without revealing your face, a talking Avatar can significantly boost engagement. Many faceless YouTube channels generate thousands of dollars each month just by utilizing avatars to enrich their content. Let’s jump into the step-by-step guide!
Step 1: Generate an Image or Avatar
Start by generating your image using a free application such as Bing Image Creator. You can use other AI image creation tools, but for this guide, we will focus on Bing Image Creator.
- Open your browser and search for "Bing Image Creator."
- Write your prompt and click "Create."
- Once you've generated several images, choose the one you like best and save it to your computer or phone.
Important: Bing Images typically come in a 1:1 ratio, which isn’t suitable for YouTube long videos. So, we need to change the aspect ratio of our image.
Skip to Step 2 if the next step doesn’t apply to you.
Step 2: Change the Aspect Ratio
If your generated image is in a 1:1 format, follow these steps:
- Go to Leonardo and sign up using your Google account to create an account.
- Click on "Image Generation" and change the aspect ratio to 16:9.
- Type your prompt again and click "Generate."
- Choose the best-fit image from the generated options and download it to your computer.
Step 3: Edit Your Avatar with CapCut
Next, we will import the AI background and the generated image into a video editing app.
- Open CapCut or download it if you don’t have it.
- Import your AI background and the image you created earlier.
- Arrange them on the timeline, ensuring the generated image is on top of the background image.
- Click on the image layer, then go to the right side of the panel, click on "Cutout," and select "Auto Cutout." The background will be removed in seconds.
- Adjust the image as desired and click on the three dashes, selecting "Export still frame" to save the new image.
Step 4: Record Your Voice or Use Text-to-Speech
You now need to create the audio for your Avatar.
- I recommend using ttsfree.com for text-to-speech. Feel free to choose any TTS platform of your choice or even record your own voice.
- Once you’re on the site, select a voice (I usually use the clear female voice named Michelle).
- Type your text and click on "Convert Now." Preview the output to ensure it’s what you want and then download it.
Step 5: Create Your Talking Avatar Using DubDub
Finally, we will create your talking Avatar using DubDub.
- Search for DubDub on Google or download the mobile app from your app store.
- You can log in with Google or sign up to get started. You may receive a verification code if you are a first-time user.
- Once logged in, answer any required questions and select "AI Avatar."
- Upload the image you generated and then upload your audio file.
- Preview the results and click “Save.”
- Click on "Generate Talking Avatar," and wait a moment for it to create your Avatar. Once generated, you can preview and download it.
And there you have it! You now have a talking Avatar ready to spice up your content and boost your online engagement.
