Step-by-step production

STEP 1

Prepare avatar and script

Select a stock avatar or an authorized person in HeyGen. Start with two short sentences.

STEP 2

Generate speech and lip movement

Choose the language and pronunciation, then generate a short test. Spell proper nouns for clear delivery.

STEP 3

Review lip sync and captions

Inspect closed-lip sounds and sentence endings. Review captions and disclose use of an AI avatar.

If synchronization looks unnatural, split the script into shorter sentences.
