Step 2: Create Your Base Character

For best results, I recommend:

Nano Banana PRO or Seedream 5.0

Settings

  • Aspect Ratio: 9:16

  • Quality: High

  • Style: Photorealistic

Base Character Prompt

Copy and paste:

Young charismatic male content creator, colorful oversized hoodie with vibrant paint-splatter pattern, messy platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, playful confident expression, standing inside a cluttered creator studio filled with gadgets, collectibles, gaming equipment, neon signs, RGB lighting, shelves packed with interesting objects, photorealistic, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, ultra detailed skin texture, highly realistic photography, social media creator aesthetic, looking directly into the camera, wide angle lens, professional DSLR photo, 9:16

Generate a few versions until you find one you love.

Once you have your character, save it.

Step 3: Create Multiple Shots

Now generate different scenes while keeping the character consistent.

These will become your “video clips.”

Shot #1 — Looking Inside a Drawer

Same colorful hoodie creator, same creator studio environment, opening a large desk drawer and searching through it with one hand while looking directly into the camera. Curious expression, cinematic lighting, realistic photography, colorful creator workspace filled with gadgets and collectibles, photorealistic, 9:16.

Shot #2 — Sitting on the Floor

Step 4: Create Your Voiceover

Go to:

Toolkit → Voice Over

Artlist lets you create voiceovers using models such as:

  • ElevenLabs

  • Minimax

  • Other available voice providers

You can:

Upload your own voice recording

or

Generate one using AI

Simply:

  1. Pick a voice

  2. Paste your script

  3. Generate the audio

Pro Tip

Don’t just generate random lines.

Think of a story.

Good content usually follows:

Hook → Discovery → Explanation → Reveal → CTA

Example:

“What if I told you this entire character doesn’t actually exist? I created him in less than 20 minutes using AI. Let me show you how.”

Step 5: Bring Your Avatar to Life

Now go to:

Toolkit → Video Generation

Select:

HeyGen Avatar 4

This is where the magic happens.

For every scene:

  1. Upload your generated image

  2. Upload your voiceover

  3. Generate the video

The avatar will automatically speak using the audio you provide.

Repeat this process for each scene.

Step 6: Assemble Your Final Video

Once all your clips are generated:

  1. Export each video

  2. Drop them into your editor

  3. Arrange them in sequence

You now have a complete AI avatar video.
