What is Talking Avatar?

DomoAI’s AI Talking Avatar Generator transforms still images into dynamic talking characters, complete with synchronized lip movements, customizable voices, emotions and multi‑language support. No camera or actors required—just upload a photo, choose a voice and let DomoAI’s text‑to‑speech technology bring your portrait to life.

How It Works (Step by Step)

Step 1 - Upload a front‑facing photo

Select a clear, forward‑facing portrait to get the best lip‑sync results

Step 2 - Enter a script and choose a voice

Type the words you want your avatar to speak. Pick a male or female voice from DomoAI’s preset voices or upload a short audio sample to clone your own voice

Step 3 - Action prompts

Expression commands like:“Smile warmly while speaking”“Raise eyebrows in surprise”“Nod occasionally”“Gesture with hands”

Step 4 - Generate and download your video

In minutes, DomoAI animates your photo into a talking avatar. Download the finished clip and share it on social media, marketing campaigns or educational content

How do I get better results?

​Input quality guidelines

Ensure you have sufficient credits, as longer clips and higher resolutions require more credits.

Clear audio + clear mouth visibility

  1. Photo

    • a high‑quality JPEG, PNG or JPG

    • For optimal results, use high-resolution, front-facing portraits with clear facial features. The subject should have their mouth closed or in a neutral position.

  2. Voice

If audio has BGM + vocals, recommend voice separation first, keep only vocals

  • Upload audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A - up to 80MB)

  • Or use text-to-speech with 6 emotions and 6 voice tones. Support multiple languages.
