Something went wrong.
Built for the next step
A character that faces the camera with a visible mouth is one you can turn into a talking video later. Add “front-facing, plain background” to the prompt if you plan to give them a voice.

The next step
From character to talking character
A portrait is the starting point. The same character can read a line in a short talking video.
01
Describe
Write one sentence: who the character is, what they wear, one prop and the expression. Pick a style chip — anime, 3D, pixel, fantasy and four more.
02
Pick the one you like
Two 1024 × 1024 variations arrive together. Keep the expression that works; a Make it talk link sits under each result.
03
Give it a voice
Write a script of up to 400 characters, choose one of 8 voices, and render an MP4 — usually in 3–5 minutes for short clips. The first clip on a new account is free — up to ~5 s / 75 characters — while the launch offer lasts.
Same character, five lines
One character image, five different videos
All five clips below use the same character image, “a cheerful barista with freckles and a messy bun” from our examples, generated once and then reused. Only the script changes. Each one is the raw MP4 from the same pipeline the talking avatar tool uses, with the Lively Girl voice.
Channel intro
“Hi, I'm Mika, and this is Coffee Break, the channel for slow mornings.”
4.9 s of speech · same character image
Greeting
“Good morning, everyone! It's really nice to see you here again.”
5.0 s of speech · same character image
Product announcement
“Big news: our new oat milk latte is on the menu from this Friday.”
5.5 s of speech · same character image
Short joke
“Why did the coffee call the police? Because it got mugged.”
4.0 s of speech · same character image
Sign-off
“That's all for today. Thanks for watching, and see you next week!”
4.2 s of speech · same character image
To keep a character consistent, reuse the same image for every video. Generating again from the same text prompt gives you a new, different character, not the same one.
Examples
Character ideas by style
Every face below is fictional — generated on AvatarSay from the prompt printed under it, not a photo of a real person. Click any example to load that prompt into the generator above and change a detail.
Prompt notes
Characters that hold up
These apply to every style. The same prompt in another style will produce something different.
- 01
Give them one prop that says who they are
A wooden spoon, a compass, a guitar pick. One object suggests a job or a habit faster than a paragraph of backstory, and it gives the portrait a natural place to put the hands.
- 02
Describe age, build and expression instead of a franchise name
“A retired boxer with a crooked nose and a friendly smile” gives the model something to draw. A character name from a show only gives it a trademark to imitate, and moderation may block it.
- 03
One outfit, two or three colors
Pick a coat, a hoodie or an apron, then hold the palette to two or three colors. A busy costume competes with the face and turns into texture at small sizes.
- 04
Front-facing head-and-shoulders if you want them to talk later
The talking video animates the face and mouth. A sharp profile, a hand over the chin or a mask leaves nothing to animate. Add “front-facing, plain background” to the prompt.
- 05
Describe the person, not the style
Use the style chip for the art style and spend the text on who the character is: age, build, outfit, one prop, expression. Repeating the style in the text spends words that could make the character yours.
Good to know
What it is, and what it isn't
- Original characters only. No existing franchise characters and no real people. Prompts that name them may be blocked.
- No photo upload. Characters come from text only. There is no photo-to-cartoon or video-to-cartoon path.
- Not a VTuber rig. You get static 1024 px images. The talking video animates the face and mouth, not a live model.
- No character sheets. One portrait per image: no turnarounds, no multiple views, no stat blocks.
A few questions
Before you type a prompt
Something not covered? Email support@avatarsay.com. A person replies, usually within one business day.
Is this character creator free?
You can start free. New accounts get 30 free credits, and a standard set of two characters costs 4 credits. No card is needed to sign up, so you can make several characters before buying a pack.
Can I make a random anime character?
Yes — use the Random anime character button at the top of this page, or click “Try an example” inside the generator. Both fill the prompt box with an original character. Change one detail before you create it so the result is yours.
Can I upload my photo and turn it into a character?
No. Photo uploads are not supported, and that is deliberate: AvatarSay builds fictional characters from text, not from a photo of you or anyone else. There is no photo-to-cartoon or video-to-cartoon path.
Can my character talk?
Yes. After you generate two images, click Make it talk under the one you like. Write a script of up to 400 characters, pick one of 8 voices, and get an MP4 — usually in 3–5 minutes for short clips (9–14 minutes for longer ones). Video costs 12 credits per second, and a new account’s first clip is free — up to about 5 seconds and 75 characters — while the launch offer lasts. Open the talking avatar tool.
Can I use my character commercially?
Yes, under the Terms and Acceptable Use Policy. You can use generated images and videos in personal and commercial projects, but not to impersonate a real person or imply an endorsement. Disclose AI where the platform expects it.
Can I recreate an existing anime character?
No. Ask for an original character instead of a named one from a franchise. Moderation may block prompts that name existing characters or real people, and the result should not be presented as an official character.
Your character, in one sentence
Describe it, keep the one you like, then let it say hello.
