Talking avatars in several languages

One character, one voice, the same message in every market.

Once a virtual character has a stable face, the next step is a stable voice. A spokesperson who looks the same in every video but sounds different each time is not a consistent character.

From script to speaking video

  1. The team writes and approves a script.
  2. Speech synthesis turns the script into audio, with the voice assigned to the character.
  3. Lip synchronization and facial animation match the speech to the character’s video.
  4. The result is reviewed for visual consistency and audio quality before it enters the library.

Localization without a new shoot

The same video can be adapted for several languages, with matching voice and synchronization. For a brand, that means one approved character can deliver the same product message in each market. For a company, it means training or onboarding videos can be produced in several languages with the same presenter.

Typical uses

  • Spoken marketing presentations and product explanations
  • Multilingual promotional messages
  • Corporate and educational videos
  • Virtual brand representatives
  • Narrated social media content

Whose voice is it?

For original virtual characters, voices come from licensed synthetic voice libraries. For a digital version of a real person, identity verification, consent and a specific authorization to use their voice are required. Cloning someone’s voice without that authorization is not something the platform supports. See our Responsible AI page for the full rules.
