Best ways to create online courses with AI avatars?

I want to make a lengthy course (10+ hours of videos), but I don’t want to show my face for privacy reasons.

I have the ideas and am ready to execute, but I don’t know what sources to use. What do you suggest?

I was happy with the results from Vyond. Cartoon avatar and a pretty natural speaking voice

You can cheat with Microsoft teams, use the avatar feature and screen record lol.

Vyond is another option

I use Adobe Character Animator to puppet the avatars movements and play.ht to generate the AI text-to-speech audio that Character Animator uses to lip sync the puppet.

I have also experimented with (but not yet used in prod) using VRChat to record myself as an avatar in a 3D scene.

Also, if you have a beefy GPU you can use Automatic1111 or ComfyUI with something like AnimateDiff (all free) to have AI remap video of yourself to any generated avatar.

Ebsynth is another free tool that can help with video style transfer.

People Builder (mediasemantics.com) lets you create slideshows with realistic and cartoon figures. The output can be video or interactive modules.

Most of my friends prefer to use Heygen -I think it’s similar to synthesia but I think might be cheaper considering cost.

For me I think vyond looks tacky. I would never use it. Look at adobe character animator if you want some bespoke characters. You can knock something up in illustrator in a day.

I’ve done Synthesia before. It looks AMAZING, but the robot voices aren’t quite believable yet.
