Is this talking avatar maker free?

Picking a character, recording and watching the preview is free with no account. Downloading the video needs a free account; during the open beta, exports cost nothing.

Can I use these characters on a monetized channel?

Yes. The characters are original drawings made for AnimateMyVideo, not copies of famous mascots, and the videos you export are yours to publish.

How long can the video be?

Up to 3 minutes per video as MP4, and up to 30 seconds as a transparent .mov, which weighs a lot. For longer narrations, make it in parts.

Does it work with AI voices?

Yes. Upload the audio file from your text-to-speech tool and the mouth follows it the same way it follows a recorded voice.

Where is my recording stored?

Only in your browser until you export. To make the video, the audio is uploaded to our storage and deleted automatically after 7 days. Delete my recording removes the copy in your browser at once.

Talking character maker for faceless channels

Pick a cartoon host, paste your script and record your voice while you read it like karaoke — or upload a voice you already have. The character's mouth follows your voice, and you download the video with the audio in sync.

A face for your faceless channel

Faceless YouTube channels live on narration: facts, stories, true crime, tech news, top 10s. A talking character gives viewers someone to look at without you on camera. Choose between six original characters — a friendly jelly mascot, an AI host robot, a cartoon cat, a narrator with skin tones, hair colors and hairstyles to pick, a hooded storyteller for horror and mysteries, and a chibi gamer with headphones — each with its own colors and moods.

They are not stiff stickers. They breathe, blink at natural intervals, glance around, raise their eyebrows when your voice gets louder and nod on the words you stress.

Lip sync that follows your voice

When you finish recording or upload a file, your browser analyzes the audio frame by frame: how loud you are and how bright the sound is. Loud vowels open the mouth wide, «ee» and «s» sounds stretch it and show teeth, «oo» rounds it, and silences close it. It is not phoneme-perfect like a studio rig, but it reads as speech, not a flapping box.

Your voice never leaves your browser until you export. There is no voice cloning and no paid AI behind it.

Record like karaoke, or bring an AI voice

The teleprompter highlights each word as you go: it moves while you speak and waits when you pause, with buttons to pause, jump back a line or change the speed. If you already use text-to-speech from CapCut, ElevenLabs or any other tool, upload the MP3, WAV or M4A instead.

Export for YouTube, Shorts and TikTok

Download a Full HD MP4 with your audio in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1, on a gradient, a solid color or a green screen, framed as a close-up, a medium shot or a corner picture-in-picture. For editing on top of your footage, export a transparent ProRes 4444 .mov with the audio included. Turn on karaoke captions and your script appears word by word, placed away from the buttons that cover the bottom and right edge of Shorts.

How to use it in your editor

CapCut

Use the MP4 as your main video, or drag it above your B-roll as an overlay.
With green screen, select the clip and use Chroma key in its background-removal options to pick the green.

Premiere Pro

Import the .mov and place it on V2, above your footage: the transparency and the audio come with it.
Scale and move it with Effect Controls → Motion.

DaVinci Resolve

Drop the .mov on Video 2, above your clip. If you see black, right-click → Clip Attributes → Alpha Mode: Premultiplied.
For the MP4 on green, use the 3D Keyer on the Color page.
