This week and last week, Synthesia launched two features respectively, which are quite impressive. Take a look at the effects.
Expressive virtual characters
This new generation of AI-powered virtual characters can understand what they are saying and follow the emotions of the text, expressing themselves with appropriate tone, body language, and lip-syncing just like real actors. For example, if the script is sad, they can appear sorrowful; if the text is inspiring, they can seem energetic and positive. This feature supports expressive voices in 28 languages.
You can use some prompts to make the virtual characters more emotionally expressive:
🥹 Use expressive words: To show enthusiasm, you can add phrases like "Fantastic!", "Great job!" Punctuation usage: Exclamation marks express excitement or urgency, question marks show curiosity or frustration, and ellipses convey uncertainty. 🙁 Try using classic emoticons such as :) and :( .
Voice Cloning
Allows users to clone their English voice and use it in 29 different languages. This process requires only 5-10 minutes of recording time. Once the recording is completed, users can create personalized content in multiple languages, from Spanish to Japanese, using their own voice. This feature is designed to help users connect with their audience in a more globalized and personalized way by fluently using multiple languages.
Feature highlights:
🌍 Global Influence: Your digital twin can now communicate fluently in languages you've never studied—whether it's Spanish or Japanese. 🤝 Personal Touch: Create personalized content in your own voice, ensuring you connect with your audience in a language they understand.
