An AI actor is a digital performer that delivers your script with no casting, crew, or reshoots. Pick a stock actor, clone yourself from a 15-second clip, or build a brand actor in 175+ languages. Used across 85% of the Fortune 100, with 30M+ users who have created 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 keeps one consistent face, voice, and set of gestures across every scene you generate.
Script to on-screen performance
Paste a script and your AI actor speaks it with phoneme-level lip-sync and natural micro-expressions. The engine matches timing, pauses and emphasis to the words, so the delivery feels like a 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 pick from 300+ preset voices. With AI voice cloning, the same actor delivers your script in 175+ languages while keeping one recognisable tone across every market.
Directable cinematic performances
Direct an actor's gaze, posture, and energy in plain 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 one 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 stays on-brand across the whole batch.
Use cases
Filming new UGC for every hook burns through budget and time. Spin up believable spokespeople, test dozens of variations with the AI ad maker, and ship scroll-stopping ads for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts the 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 when a policy changes, no studio time needed.
Live demos break and screen recordings look flat. Build repeatable product demo walkthroughs where an actor presents features on screen, then let sales reps swap in region-specific messaging without re-recording a single scene.
Generic outreach emails get ignored, and filming one video per prospect doesn’t scale. Generate personalised actor videos that greet each lead by name, so a single script becomes hundreds of tailored, on-brand messages.
Reaching 20 markets used to mean 20 shoots or clunky subtitles. Record one actor, then use the AI video translator to deliver the same performance in 175+ languages with lip-sync matched to each translated script.
Most AI actors drift after a minute, so long lessons meant stitching clips together. Generate up to 30 minutes of continuous performance in one pass, enough for a full course module or recorded lecture.
How it worksHow to create an AI actor
Go from script to a finished AI actor video in four steps, no camera, casting call or editing suite needed.
Choose a stock actor, clone yourself from a 15-second clip, or generate a brand actor.
Type your script or let the AI script writer draft one, then set the language and tone.
Adjust gaze, gestures, pacing and energy in plain 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 lip-sync. An AI voice actor generates audio only, while an AI actor appears on screen and delivers the lines visually.
Avatar V builds a digital twin from a 15-second clip and keeps one 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 aligned in every language.
Record a 15-second clip from a webcam or mobile 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 matched timing and expression.
Many AI actor platforms limit you to short clips or lose identity between scenes. HeyGen keeps one face and voice across 30 minutes of continuous video, runs a verified twin inside cinematic Seedance 2.0 footage, and delivers in 175+ languages.
Yes. Vision Creative Labs moved clients from 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, no credit card needed. Paid creator plans start at $24 per month for more actors, higher usage and watermark-free exports, with custom 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 built from real people who gave 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 re-synced to each translation, so the mouth matches the new audio. Clone your voice once and keep the same tone across every market without re-recording.
Yes. Avatar V separates identity from appearance, so you can change wardrobe, background, and framing without re-recording. 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 plug straight into any LMS for training.
No. If you can write a document, you can direct an AI actor. Pick a face, paste a script, and the platform handles 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 re-recording. Avatar V keeps the same face, voice, and micro-expressions across scenes and shot types, so a 40-video campaign stays visually consistent from end to end.
