Y'all. I asked AI to help me create a Pixar-style L&D avatar and now she's funnier than me and looks better too. 😂
I created a tortoise-shell Persian cat in a tiara with a posh British accent (IFYKYK), and now I need her to narrate all my courses.
I think she is awesome!
I think she is awesome! Great job
SMcNicol, that is great!
We use mascots for learning, created for such purpose and this is what we also got from "avatarisation".
Would you please be so kind and share how you got such strong, and dynamic voice expressions? (pauses, emphasises, positive emotional oscillations in voice...)
And which voice did you use in this?
Thx in advance for this 🙏When I develop a script, I try to keep just one idea per sentence. Sentences that feel fine on the page don’t always translate well to AI avatars.
I read every sentence aloud before I finalize it to make sure it sounds natural. If I stumble, run out of breath, or lose my place, my avatar will too. If it sounds natural when I say it, it should sound natural when the avatar says it.
After that, I add pauses deliberately, since pauses aren’t empty space—they’re emphasis. In my experience, the most important lines in an avatar script are often the ones followed by silence. I use brackets for stage directions (for example: [pause], [leans in slightly], [gives a knowing smile]) and punctuation (like dashes and ellipses) to shape timing.
My last step is to find a voice that matches the content, and that can take a while. I like to shortlist a few voices I think will work, then test them on the script. For this video, I used Jessa—easygoing, conversational, and real (with a “best friend” vibe). The platform describes Jessa as a natural, effortless, relatable voice with a casual, off-the-cuff style.
Disclaimer: This is just my method. I’m not claiming it’s the “right” way—but since there wasn’t much documentation, this is what’s worked for me so far. 😃
This is truly inspirational.....I want you to know you set up my day here in New Zealand perfectly...thank you and just wow!!!
Amazing!
