Browse a selection of Colossyan's stock avatars. Each one supports 100+ languages, natural gestures, and custom scripts.
A Colossyan custom AI avatar is a personal digital actor created from your footage — your avatar will look and sound like you, and will support 29 different languages using your own voice (and 70+ languages using stock voices). You can use your AI avatar to produce videos in Colossyan Creator, and the avatar will only be available in your account. These avatars are used for scaling video creation, personalizing video content and localization.
You can currently create Instant Avatars (quick phone recording) and Studio Avatars (longer green screen recording).
Custom AI avatars are created from your footage, and you can either create a quick avatar using your phone (Instant Avatar), or a professional one using a green screen studio (Studio Avatar). After creating your avatar, you can use it as a digital presenter to create videos from text, documents and presentations using Colossyan's intuitive video platform.
The process differs depending on the type of custom avatar you choose:
Instant Avatar: You can create this avatar yourself in Colossyan Creator. All you need to do is record 20 seconds of footage (with your mouth closed) using your phone and camera. Once you upload your footage and voice recording (if you'd like a voice clone), it takes about a minute to get a preview and start using your avatar.
Studio Avatar: You will need to contact our team to create this avatar, and we will get back to you with a confirmation and recording instructions. After you send us the required footage, our team will spend approximately 15 working days preparing your avatar. Once done, your personal AI avatar will be added to your Colossyan Creator avatar library, and you'll be able to create videos with yourself as the actor.
Instant Avatars are an improved version of Lite Avatars. Anyone with a Lite Avatar can create an Instant Avatar for free. Any existing Lite Avatars will remain accessible and usable.
Creating a custom Instant Avatar takes under a minute to record, and under a minute to process. Once created, you can start using your avatar immediately. Creating a custom Studio Avatar with Colossyan involves a short filming session of 10-20 minutes. After you send your footage, it takes approximately 15 business days to create the custom avatar.
It's your choice! You can use one of the voices from our library, or you can clone your own voice, and use in 29 different languages.
Our custom voice technology is currently unable to fully capture or control intonation, accents and speed. Currently, the generated audio quality may start to degrade after about 30 seconds/500 characters, so please keep in mind the limitations of this technology. However, you can use your voice to speak a number of languages: your voice can be used to narrate text in Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian.
Anyone can be a custom avatar as long as they have given their explicit consent. To create the avatar, we must film some real footage using a specialized script that covers all possible sounds and movements. Therefore, it is only possible to make an avatar of someone who consents to a filming session. You need to be at least 18 years of age to request an AI avatar, and we do not allow avatars of minors or animals.
No — your avatar will only be available in your Colossyan account, and not in the public version of Colossyan Creator.
You can choose to go to a studio or do the recording at home or in your office.
If you choose to record an Instant Avatar, you can record it in any location, using either your phone or a camera. Your camera will need to record in 1080p, at 30fps, with HDR turned off.
If you choose to record a Studio Avatar, you will need the following equipment for the best possible quality: A camera that shoots in 4k at 60fps or 59.94fps; Green backdrop; Clip-on microphone; Teleprompter; Good lighting — we recommend studio lighting.
An AI avatar of yourself will give you the freedom to create all kinds of videos without having to constantly record yourself. The videos can be easily created in 100+ languages, personalized and easily adapted for any topic.
Simply fill out your details on our request page and our team will get back to you with the confirmation of your request, as well as footage instructions.
