How to Record Your Training Video for the Best AI Video Replica

A high-quality training video helps our AI model properly map your face and voice, resulting in a more realistic replica overall. Your training video will be one continuous video, containing the following, in-order:

1. 1 minute of talking

2. 1 minute of silence (active listening)

How do I record 1 minute of talking?

Start with a big smile. Speak about anything that showcases your natural speaking style and expertise. We do not require a predefined script, but:

How do I record 1 minute of silence?

Your training footage should conclude with 1 minute of silence. Our model uses your silent footage to create a natural resting position for your replica’s head and improve its listening behavior. During this period:

• Pretend that you are “actively listening” to someone

• Incorporate small (but non-repetitive) head movements throughout the minute

• Ensure that your lips are closed the entire time

How do I create a high-quality training video?

To ensure your replica is the best possible quality, follow the guidelines below before recording your training footage.

Step 1: Set up environment 🌅

Ensure that you are in a quiet, well-lit area without background movement.

✔ Check that your face is evenly lit without any shadows. A large diffuse light works best for neutral lighting.
✔ Avoid environments with background noise or reverb (e.g. air conditioning, construction).
✔ Keep your background clear by removing moving objects and people.

Step 2: Record training video 🎥

✔ Start with a big smile.
✔ Aim for an engaging tone and a relaxed pace, while maintaining continuous eye contact with the camera.
✔ Minimize body movement, such as hand gestures, head movement, jolts, etc.
✔ Close your lips during pauses and at the end of sentences.
✔ If you stumble, continue speaking. Perfection is not necessary!
