Pro Tips

  • ◆Use a high-resolution, front-facing portrait with a neutral expression as the source — side angles and busy lighting break lip-sync.
  • ◆Write scripts in short sentences; the avatar's delivery sounds more natural with pauses than with long run-ons.
  • ◆Match the voice to the face — D-ID's voice library plus a fitting portrait sells the illusion far better than a mismatch.
  • ◆Keep clips short for social; long talking-head AI video is where the uncanny-valley effect creeps in.
