Trusted by millions worldwide to bring their stories to life.
An AI actor is a digital performer that brings your script to life, with no need for casting, crew, or reshoots. Choose a stock actor, clone yourself from a 15-second clip, or create a brand actor in 175+ languages. Trusted by 85% of Fortune 100 companies, with 30M+ users who have produced 120M+ videos.
Key featuresAI actor generator features
Stock, custom, and brand avatars
Choose from over 1,100 stock actors, clone yourself into a digital twin from a single 15-second clip with Avatar V, or build a reusable brand actor. Every actor maintains one consistent face, voice, and set of gestures across every scene you generate.
Script to on-screen delivery
Paste a script and your AI actor speaks it with phoneme-level AI lip-sync and natural micro-expressions. The engine matches timing, pauses, and emphasis to the words, so the delivery feels like a professionally filmed take rather than a flat, robotic text-to-speech read.
Cloned and multilingual voices
Give any actor a cloned version of your own voice from a short sample, or choose from 300+ preset voices. With AI voice cloning, the same actor delivers your script in 175+ languages while maintaining one recognisable tone across every market.
Directable, cinematic performances
Direct an actor's gaze, posture, and energy in simple English, from a calm executive update to a high-energy social cut. Place a verified digital twin inside cinematic footage with Seedance 2.0, running up to three actors in a single scene.
Batch generation at brand scale
Generate dozens or thousands of variations from a single script for product catalogues, localised markets, and A/B tests. The text to video workflow applies your brand kit, fonts, and logo to every render, so each actor remains on-brand across the entire batch.
Use cases
Shooting new UGC for every hook eats up both budget and time. Instantly create believable spokespeople, test dozens of variations with the AI ad maker, and launch scroll-stopping ads for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts on the very same day.
Updating a training module used to mean rebooking talent and reshooting. Put a consistent presenter on every lesson, then edit the script and regenerate whenever a policy changes, with no studio time required.
Live demos can fail and screen recordings often feel flat. Create repeatable product demo walkthroughs where an actor presents features on screen, then allow sales reps to swap in region-specific messaging without re-recording even a single scene.
Generic outreach emails are usually ignored, and recording one video for each prospect does not scale. Generate personalised actor videos that greet every lead by name, so a single script turns into hundreds of tailored, on-brand messages.
Earlier, reaching 20 markets meant organising 20 separate shoots or relying on awkward subtitles. Now you can record one actor, then use the AI video translator to deliver the same performance in 175+ languages, with lip-sync perfectly matched to each translated script.
Most AI actors start drifting after a minute, so longer lessons meant stitching together multiple clips. Generate up to 30 minutes of continuous performance in a single pass, enough for a complete course module or a recorded lecture.
How it worksHow to create an AI actor
Go from script to a finished AI actor video in four simple steps, with no camera, casting call, or editing suite needed.
Choose a stock actor, clone yourself from a 15-second clip, or generate a brand-specific actor.
Type your script or let the AI script writer draft one for you, then set the language and tone.
Adjust gaze, gestures, pacing, and energy in simple English, then add captions and music.
Render in HD or 4K, export MP4 with captions, or publish to LinkedIn without leaving HeyGen.
An AI actor is a synthetic on-screen performer — a stock actor, avatar, or cloned likeness — that speaks your script with natural movement and accurate lip-sync. An AI voice actor generates only audio, whereas an AI actor appears on screen and delivers the lines visually.
Avatar V creates a digital twin from a 15-second clip and maintains a single identity across wide, medium, and close-up shots with no drift, rated #1 for most realistic avatars on G2. Phoneme-level lip-sync keeps mouth movement perfectly aligned in every language.
Record a 15-second clip from a webcam or phone, and HeyGen builds a reusable digital twin. Clone your voice from a short sample, then type any script and the AI video generator renders your actor speaking it with matching timing and expression.
Many AI actor platforms restrict you to short clips or lose track of identity between scenes. HeyGen maintains the same face and voice across 30 minutes of continuous video, runs a verified twin inside cinematic Seedance 2.0 footage, and delivers content in 175+ languages.
Yes. Vision Creative Labs helped clients go from creating 1–2 videos a year to 50–60 per day using HeyGen avatars, and Videoimagem produced 50,000+ personalised videos for AB InBev with up to 3x higher engagement.
You can start creating with AI actors for free, with no credit card required. Paid creator plans start at $24 per month for more actors, higher usage, and watermark-free exports, with customised enterprise pricing available for high-volume teams.
You own the videos you generate and can use them in ads, training, and client work on paid plans. Stock actors are created from real people who have given consent, and your uploaded content is never used to train AI models.
Yes. One actor can deliver your script in 175+ languages with lip-sync adjusted for each translation, so the mouth movements match the new audio. Clone your voice once and keep the same tone across every market without recording again.
Yes. Avatar V separates identity from appearance, so you can change wardrobe, background, and framing without recording again. Avatar Look Packs generate a consistent set of professional looks for the same actor in one tap.
Export finished videos as MP4 in HD or up to 4K, with SRT or VTT caption files and vertical, square, and widescreen presets for Reels, Shorts, and web players. SCORM-ready exports can be added directly into any LMS for training.
No. If you can write a document, you can direct an AI actor. Choose a face, paste a script, and the platform takes care of lip-sync, timing, and rendering, with a text-based editor for captions, music, and branding.
Save your actor to a brand library and reuse it in every video without recording again. Avatar V keeps the same face, voice, and micro-expressions across scenes and shot types, so even a 40-video campaign remains visually consistent from start to finish.
