Hi…. I’m John from the UK.
A long time ago, I bought Crazy Talk 8 for my MacBook Pro. For various reasons, I didn’t really get to use it.
Now I’m retired… and I’m looking for advice. Let me explain.
I teach English to non-native speakers, mainly adults. I want to create talking heads which will lip-sync with pre-recorded dialogue. If possible, I’d like to turn videos of real talking heads into avatars. Possibly (but only a distant possibility), it might be nice to create simple scenes for the characters (sitting and chatting at home, walking in the park, walking down a street, etc).
The thing is: teaching, creating materials, recording, handling online remote lessons… all this takes up a lot of time. Since I am retired, time is not on my side. If I were a lot younger, I’d love to dive deep into the artistry and technology. As it is, I need something / some software which won’t turn out to be a long, deep rabbit hole.
Any ideas? Have I come to the right place?
Don’t be afraid to tell me I’m barking at the moon. In the end, we appreciate truth - however hard to handle - rather than flannel.
Thanks for reading.
