AI Avatar Standard
Kling AI Avatar transforms a single portrait photo into a natural talking-head video driven by any audio track, with precise lip-sync and stable identity preservation.
Audio-driven talking portrait from a single photo
Kling AI Avatar Standard is an audio-driven talking-head model developed by Kling that animates a single still portrait image into a synchronized speaking video. It accepts a portrait photo and an audio track as inputs, then generates a video with phoneme-aligned lip movements, natural eye blinks, and subtle head motion while preserving the subject's identity throughout. The model supports both real voice recordings and text-to-speech generated audio, and an optional text prompt can influence background style or framing. Output duration is variable and determined by the length of the provided audio, up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
Kling AI Avatar Standard is designed for everyday production workflows where reliable, clean avatar video is needed at scale. Typical use cases include explainer videos, customer support avatars, internal training materials, and product demonstrations. For best results, the model expects a clear, front-facing portrait with even lighting and at least 512px resolution, paired with a clean voice recording sampled at 16–48 kHz. It is available via API through WaveSpeed and is accessible on MindStudio without requiring separate API key management.
What AI Avatar Standard supports
Lip Sync
Maps speech audio to mouth movements at the phoneme level, producing natural and believable lip articulation synchronized to the provided audio track.
Portrait Animation
Animates a single still portrait image into a talking-head video, adding natural eye blinks and subtle head motion while preserving the subject's identity.
Image Input
Accepts a portrait image via URL as the visual source; recommended minimum resolution is 512px with a clear, front-facing composition and even lighting.
Audio Input
Accepts a voice recording or TTS-generated audio file via URL; optimal results use clean audio at 16–48 kHz without heavy reverb or background music.
Prompt Guidance
An optional text prompt can be supplied to influence background style, mood, or framing of the generated video output.
Seed Control
Accepts a seed value as input, allowing reproducible outputs when the same portrait, audio, and prompt combination is used across multiple runs.
Variable Clip Length
Output video duration is determined by the length of the provided audio track, supporting clips up to a maximum of 10 minutes.
