I came across this service, HeyGen, and I just had to try it. This video is all avatar and NOT me!
I typed the script being read by a HeyGen voice so it’s not my voice though that avatar does a good job of being ME! You could also record yourself speaking and then it’s YOUR voice that your avatar is using. Here’s another video I made with my own voice:
My teeth give it away, they look off. Considering that I did this is mere minutes and all for free, I think these videos are pretty darn good!
When you sign up for a new account you get to create your avatar by recording a 30s video. Then you get 1 credit to create a video with your avatar up to one minute long. After creating my first avatar I got another one free credit so I made the second video.
Creating a video once your avatar is created is super easy and if you opt for a paid account you will get more credits to make longer videos. There are other choices of avatars if you’d rather not make an avatar of yourself and there are other voices to choose from as well.
What do you think? Cool or creepy?
