What you'll make

Your performance, a new character and a voice you choose.

Turn a recorded performance into a different character with Genjutsu Objects swap.

Who this is for

Creators with a talking clip and a character reference.

Step by step

Run the workflow

  1. 01

    Record yourself talking

    Record the speech, expressions and gestures you want to keep. Keep your face visible and retain the original audio. My clip is about 9 seconds.
