AI Avatar Generator 2025: Create Your Personal Digital Persona

How to create your AI avatar in a few simple steps

01
Capture or upload a video sample
Start by recording a short, front-facing clip in Descript or dragging in an existing talking-head video. Keep the lighting even and look directly at the lens so the system can read your full range of mouth shapes and micro-expressions.
02
Train the AI on your footage
Select the speaker label, choose Add avatar → Create custom avatar, and follow the prompts. Descript scans every frame to learn your angles, lip shapes, and expressions, setting the stage for a lifelike digital version of you.
03
Generate & refine your avatar
Click Generate avatar and let Descript process in the background. Drop the avatar onto any scene tied to that speaker label, resize or crop as needed, review the lip-sync, and regenerate if you tweak the script. Your AI double is now camera-ready!

What you can do with an AI avatar generator

Streamline video production
Cut out live shoots or voice recording. Plug your AI avatar into your composition, type a script, and you’re set. This means fewer reshoots and faster turnaround on new content.
Create consistent brand spokespeople
Generate avatars that match your branding. No more scheduling conflicts with on-camera talent or worry about matching their look and tone across multiple videos.
Personalize at scale
Build multiple avatars—like different characters or languages—to tailor messaging for diverse audiences. You can quickly adapt content without hiring more actors or voice artists.

Questions? We have answers

What do I need to create an AI avatar?
You just need at least a few minutes of clear audio or a handful of well-lit images to generate a convincingly realistic avatar. That’s enough for the AI avatar generator to understand how you look or sound.
Can my AI avatar speak in multiple languages?
Yes. You can train your AI avatar generator to speak multiple languages, as long as your sample data and text prompts cover those languages. You can even showcase different accents or dialects for a more global reach.
Is the AI avatar generator secure for sensitive content?
Descript’s security protocols keep your content private. While we can’t promise the AI will never glitch, we do prioritize data protection, so you can focus on building your digital persona.
