Create Custom Realistic AI Avatars That Look & Sound 100% Like You (Full Workflow)

Creating Realistic AI Avatars with 11 Labs

Introduction to AI Avatars

• The speaker introduces the concept of creating a custom AI avatar that closely resembles oneself, highlighting the capabilities of the 11 Labs creative platform.

• The speaker demonstrates an AI avatar created using 11 Labs, emphasizing its realistic appearance and voice.

Cloning Your Voice

• Alec explains how users can clone their voices for use in videos without recording them, starting with selecting "voices" on the platform.

• Two options for voice cloning are presented: Instant Voice Clone (10 seconds of audio required) and Professional Voice Clone (30 minutes of audio needed).

• The quality of the input audio directly affects the output quality of the voice clone; higher quality leads to better results.

Generating Text-to-Speech

• After creating a voice clone, users can generate speech by typing text into the system, which will then be spoken in their cloned voice.

• An example is provided where Alec generates a script about coffee using his professional voice clone named Alex PVC.

Creating AI Avatars

• To create an AI avatar, users navigate to the image and video tool within 11 Labs. They can choose from default avatars or upload personal images.

• Alec demonstrates selecting a default model called Creatify Aurora and adding generated audio to create an avatar video.

Customizing Your Avatar

• Users have options to customize avatars further by prompting specific characteristics or environments through image generation models.

• Alec discusses changing resolution settings for better output quality when generating avatars and iterating on designs if initial outputs are unsatisfactory.

Creating AI Avatars: A Step-by-Step Guide

Uploading and Generating Your AI Avatar

• The process begins by uploading an image to create an AI avatar video that resembles the user. However, initial results may lack a natural feel, appearing more like a still image turned into a video.

• To improve the output, users can utilize an image generation model with specific prompts, including using their likeness from the uploaded reference image and adjusting settings for better quality.

• Users can customize their avatar's environment by changing clothing, background, and lighting. Engagement is encouraged through comments about what types of avatars others are creating.

• Aspect ratios can be adjusted for different formats; for instance, 16x9 for standard videos or 9x6 for vertical formats suitable for platforms like Instagram or TikTok.

• After generating images that closely resemble the user in a preferred setting, these images can be used as avatars in further projects.

Utilizing Creatify Aurora and Other Models

• The generated images can be integrated back into Creatify Aurora to add speech using previously recorded audio, resulting in a custom AI avatar that maintains both visual and auditory likenesses.

• Various AI models are available for different needs; each has unique features such as maximum length and resolution capabilities.

Comparing Different AI Models

• The Aurora model allows up to 60 seconds of video at 720p resolution but requires post-processing to upscale quality. It excels in expressiveness for talking avatars.

• Omnihuman 1.5 offers higher resolution (1080p), but limits clips to 30 seconds with less facial movement compared to Aurora.

• LTX audio-to-video supports resolutions of both 720p and 1080p but caps at 20 seconds. This model is driven by audio input rather than strict lip-syncing, allowing creative flexibility with prompts.

Creative Applications of AI Avatars

• Users have multiple workflows available; they can upload voice recordings or use voice changers to create diverse audio outputs synced with their avatars.

• By recording new audio directly into a voice changer tool, users can transform their recordings into various voices while syncing them with invented characters for innovative content creation.

This guide provides insights on how to effectively create personalized AI avatars using advanced tools while exploring various models' strengths and applications within creative processes.
