@build.with.alan: You can now build a realistic talking avatar completely free. China just open-sourced an AI avatar. Just upload a photo, add an audio clip, and it generates a lifelike avatar with perfect lip-sync, natural facial expressions, and even full-body movement. It can even handle multiple people in the same scene while keeping characters consistent throughout the video. Want to try it? You can run it locally with ComfyUI or use it online in your browser. Comment avatar below and I'll send you the links.
