Custom Avatar and Voice for Articulate Course
Hi,
We would like to create our own custom avatar and a corresponding custom voice that can be used consistently throughout the course. Rather than selecting from the existing avatar/character options, we are looking for a way to develop a character that is specific to our course and use it as the course presenter/narrator.
Our requirement is to have a consistent custom presenter throughout the course, so we would particularly appreciate guidance on the best workflow for creating and maintaining the avatar and voice across multiple lessons.
Thanks!

There is a Labs feature in both Rise and Storyline that lets you create your own custom avatar. You will have to use an existing AI narrator, though.
This feature is only available if AI Assistant is enabled in your subscription.
For Rise, this is how you enable the AI Avatar:
New in Labs: AI Avatars | E-Learning Heroes
For Storyline, go to your View tab, then select Labs, then turn on the AI Avatar option. You'll then be prompted to restart Storyline and once you do, you'll have an Insert -> Avatar option on your Insert tab.
Hi Charu, you could try making the talking videos first, then adding them to your course.
Use the same character picture and the same narrator for each lesson. Keep the picture, scripts, and audio files so you can update them later.
I work on LipSyncX, so just sharing that connection. It lets you use your own picture and voice recording to make a talking video. This might help with that part.
I’d try two short clips first and see if they look consistent.
Are you using Rise or Storyline?
