Let's be honest about AI lip sync: most of it feels robotic. We've all seen the videosâa perfectly synced mouth on a lifeless, static body. The head doesn't move, the eyes are vacant, and the performance is hollow. True realism isn't just about the mouth; it's in the subtle head tilts and natural body language that make a character feel alive.
This is where MultiTalk changes the game. Itâs not just another lip sync tool; itâs a holistic performance generator. MultiTalk doesn't just move lipsâit brings your characters to life, creating expressive talking AI avatars that move, interact, and feel real.
In this guide, you'll discover how to leave the robotic trap behind and generate truly believable performances. And with easy-to-use workflows from MimicPC, you can harness this incredible power today, no coding required.
What is MultiTalk? An Overview of Its Features
MultiTalk is a novel model for Audio-Driven Multi-Person Conversational Video Generation.
In simple terms, you provide an audio file (or multiple files for a conversation), a reference image, and a text prompt. MultiTalk then generates a video where characters not only speak with perfectly synced lips but also move and interact realistically.
Its core features include:
- Realistic Conversations: Generate videos with a single speaker or a full, multi-person conversation where each character's lip movements are perfectly aligned with their individual audio track.
- Interactive Character Control: Use simple text prompts to direct the virtual characters, giving you creative control over their interactions and the scene's narrative.
- Superior Generalization: The model is powerful enough to handle complex audio, including generating accurate lip sync for singing. It can also animate cartoon characters with the same high quality as human photos.
- High-Resolution Output: Create videos in professional-quality 480p or 720p resolutions at any aspect ratio, ensuring a crisp and clear final product.
- Long Video Generation: Support for generating video clips up to 15 seconds long, making it ideal for social media, ads, and short scenes. Furthermore, the Multitalk: Ultimate Talking Avatar workflow available on MimicPC combines MultiTalk with Wan 2.1 technology, making it possible to generate videos as long as 1 minute and 45 seconds!
How to Create a Talking AI Avatar with MultiTalk
Ready to transform a static image into an expressive, talking AI digital human? With the powerful MultiTalk workflow on the MimicPC platform, the entire process is much simpler than you might think.
Follow these seven easy steps, and you'll be creating stunning talking avatars in minutes.
Step 1: Log in to the MimicPC Platform
First, visit and log in to your MimicPC account. MimicPC is an all-in-one AI art creation platform that integrates image, video, and audio generation tools, giving you everything you need to bring your ideas to life.
Step 2: Open the MultiTalk Workflow and Select Your Hardware
In the workflow marketplace, find and open the official âMultitalk: Audio-Driven Multi-Person Conversational Video Generationâ workflow published by MimicPC. For the best generation speed and performance, make sure to select the Ultra-Pro hardware configuration.
Step 3: Upload a Reference Photo
Now, upload a clear, front-facing photo of the person or character you want to bring to life.
- Don't have a suitable photo? No problem! You can use our newly integrated Google Imagen 4 model to generate one instantly. Whether you need a hyper-realistic human portrait or a unique cartoon character, Imagen 4 has you covered. (The example image in this tutorial was generated using Imagen 4!)
Step 4: Upload an Audio File
Next, upload the audio file that will drive the character's lip movements and emotion.
- Need to create audio? We've got you covered! If you don't have a pre-made audio file, the MimicPC platform features 9 powerful, built-in audio generation tools. You can use the popular F5-TTS to generate dialogue with rich emotion or use the RVC model to clone any voice.
Step 5: Input a Text Prompt
In the text prompt field, use simple language to describe the action you want your character to perform in the video. For example, "a man is talking to the camera in his office" or "a girl is singing happily." A brief description is all it takes to guide the AI in generating natural movements.
Step 6: Adjust Key Parameters (Optional)
For more precise control over your final video, you can fine-tune these two key parameters:
- In the AudioCrop node, you can customize the maximum length of the audio to ensure the video only uses the segment you need.
- In the MultiTalk Wan2Vec Embeds node, you can adjust the total number of frames (num frames) and the frames per second (fps) to precisely control the final video duration. Just remember the formula: video length = num frames / fps.
Step 7: Click âRunâ and Generate Your Video!
Once you've configured all the settings, click the âRunâ button. The system will begin processing your request. Depending on your settings, you can expect to preview your video on the right-hand side of the interface in about 5-7 minutes. If you're happy with the result, simply click download, and your AI talking avatar is complete.
