Avatars
Browse Synthesia avatars, customise them to your needs, and even create your own custom ones.
All avatars available in your Synthesia account are displayed on the Avatars page. Synthesia stock avatars are created from video footage of real actors who have given their consent.
Some avatars have a purple star logo next to them to signal that they are Synthesia new generation of expressive avatars. Synthesia expressive avatars are more natural with a wider range of movement and the ability to express better sentiment based on the context of the script, allowing for more immersion within your video projects.
