Have you ever wanted to create a talking character that moves and speaks just like you? Adobe Express makes it surprisingly easy—and free. Their Animate from Audio tool lets you design an engaging animated character in just minutes.
Start by browsing through a wide variety of preset characters, from musicians to robots. You can choose a background or keep it transparent, then set the video’s aspect ratio to fit platforms like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Once your character is ready, simply record your voice. The built-in speech enhancement feature polishes your audio so it sounds studio-quality. Adobe Express then syncs your voice with the character’s mouth movements, creating a natural talking effect.
But it doesn’t stop there—you can edit your video further by adding text, images, icons, and even music or sound effects. The editor lets you fade audio in and out, adjust volume, and layer extra content to make your video stand out. Finally, download your project as an MP4 or share it directly to your favorite social media channels.
With Adobe Express, animated storytelling is just a few clicks away—no expensive software or animation skills required. Check out my tutorial below to see it in action.
