Meet Your New Co-Presenter: What I Learned Building with AI Avatars in Rise 360
Can we add our own voice to the avatars we create? WHY? I recently explored this setting and was delighted to discover the ability to create an avatar from a photograph of myself, as the author of the eLearning course. I integrated this avatar into a section dedicated to sharing my personal experiences related to the eLearning topic. Although there is an option for an AI-generated voice, I would prefer to add my own voice for the avatar. I believe by adding my voice that it would significantly enhance the authenticity of my contribution, enabling me to present a genuine example of the lessons I have learned, rather than relying on an AI-generated voice. The use of an AI-generated voice could lead learners to perceive my experiences as fabricated, in contrast to the reality I convey through my own voice.
Hello KariKillian,
I’m glad you enjoyed creating an avatar from your own photo! Since you’re using it to share personal experiences, I can understand why you’d want your own voice to help convey that those stories are yours.
AI avatars currently use AI-generated voices from the voice library. Using your own recorded voice or creating an AI version of your voice for an avatar isn’t currently supported.
Would you prefer to record or upload your narration for the avatar to use, or generate narration from a script using an AI version of your own voice?
That distinction will help us better understand the workflow you have in mind. Thanks again for sharing such a thoughtful example!
Hi - If possible, I would prefer to directly record my own voice to my AI avatar within the avatar settings. This will build continuity for the current recordings I add to the other blocks while offering realism of what I am teaching, explaining, presenting and may be better perceived as an authentic example by the learners.
Hi KariKillian,
I understand that you’d like to record your own voice directly within the avatar settings. Your avatar shares your personal experiences, and your own voice would help learners see those stories as real and keep it consistent with the recordings in your other blocks.
We appreciate you explaining the “why” behind this so clearly. Thanks for taking the time to share it!
