AI TALKING CHARACTER GENERATOR

Talking cartoonsin their own voice.

Write what your character says and add its moves in [brackets]. Masko records the line in your mascot’s voice and animates it saying every word, for onboarding, product demos, meeting recaps, and launch posts.

Gubby, a Masko mascot, in his own voice.

Write the line. Add the moves.

A talk works like a little script. The words are spoken, the movements in brackets are acted, and a feeling after a comma changes how the voice sounds.

01

Give your mascot a voice

Masko suggests voices that fit your character, plays three samples, and keeps the one you choose. Variants can share it or get their own.

02

Write what it says

Type the line and add movements where they start, like [waves hello, excited] or [leans in, whispering]. Words in brackets are never spoken.

03

Get your talking animation

Masko records the voice, then animates your mascot saying it. Download MP4, transparent WebM and HEVC, the voice as MP3, and a transcript.

Three mascots. Three moods.

Each card shows the exact line we wrote. Press play to hear the mascot say it.

Onboarding · Ko

[waves hello, cheerful] Welcome in! [leans in, whispering] Psst... the big orange button does everything. [points down, proud] That one!

Product update · Aubergino

[adjusts his tie, very serious] Ladies and gentlemen, big announcement. [pauses, dramatic] We fixed the bug. [throws his arms up, overjoyed] All of them!

Celebration · Acorn

[gasps, amazed] You finished your first lesson? [jumps, shouting with joy] That's amazing! [whispers, paw by the mouth] I'm telling everyone.

What a mascot can do while it talks.

Tubey shows every move: his voice, his languages, his acting and his look. Each card plays the real clip under the line we wrote. Tubey has no mouth, so some of his lines also asked for a pixel mouth on his screen.

Voice · Whisper, shout, laugh

[raises one hand beside his screen, whispering] I can whisper a little secret... [throws both fists up, excited] or shout the big news! [shakes with laughter, laughing] Ha ha!

Voice · Any language

[waves, happy] I speak your language too. [waves with both hands, excited] Bonjour ! ¡Hola! Ciao! [puts a hand on his chest, proud] And my voice was made from my look.

Acting · Counts and points

[holds up one hand, curious] I can count on my fingers. [holds up exactly one finger high, his screen shows a big pixel number 1, happy] One... [holds up exactly two fingers high, his screen shows a big pixel number 2, happy] two... [holds up exactly three fingers high, his screen shows a big pixel number 3, excited] three! [points to the left, proud] I point at what matters, like this button. [shrugs, surprised] And when I stop talking... [nods slowly, calm] I keep acting. [crosses his arms, proud]

Acting · Points every way

[points up, curious] Up there, [points down, surprised] down here, [points to the left, happy] over there, [points to the right, excited] and right here!

Look · From one pose to another

[looks down at himself, curious] I can start in one pose... [raises both arms high, excited] and end in another!

Look · His screen is his face

[his screen shows a big pixel heart, happy] I love this feature. [his screen shows a question mark, curious] Any questions? [his screen shows two smiling eyes, calm] Just ask.

Look · Holds things

[raises the coffee mug, happy] Coffee in this hand... [raises the phone, curious] and my messages in this one. [shrugs, laughing] Ha ha! I'm very busy.

Look · Changes what he holds

[waves the remote, calm] Enough television for today. [raises the microphone, excited] It's time for my show!

The whole tour, in 80 seconds.

Tubey walks through everything above, with his own voice, moves and screen.

Pick your mascot, write what it says, and click to make it talk. Here is the whole flow in 30 seconds.

Whisper, shout, or laugh

One line can change mood several times. The voice and the movements follow each bracket, so a whisper sounds like a whisper and a shout looks like one.

Captions included

Every talk comes with a transcript that times each word and each sentence, ready for subtitles in your app or video editor.

THE LITTLE DETAILS

A few questions.

we were hoping you’d ask.

What is a talking character generator?

It turns a written line into a video of a character saying it. In Masko, your mascot speaks the line in its own voice and acts out the movements you write in brackets, on a transparent background you can place anywhere.

How does the AI lip sync work?

Masko records the line first, then animates your character to that voice: the mouth moves while it speaks and rests in the pauses. It follows the speech and the silences, not each syllable, while the body acts out the moves you wrote in brackets.

Can I make a talking cartoon?

Yes. Start from any illustrated character, such as a mascot, a cartoon animal or a story character, give it a voice and write its line. You get a talking cartoon clip with sound and a transparent background.

How does the character voice generator work?

Masko suggests character voices from your mascot’s look and description, plays three samples and keeps the one you choose. You can ask for changes, such as older or a little grumpy, and every talk comes with the voice as an MP3.

How do I make my character talk?

Open your mascot in Masko Studio, give it a voice, then choose Talking and write what it says. Add movements in brackets, check the estimate, and generate. You can also send the same line through the API.

Read the talking animation guide
Is this a talking avatar for my photo?

Masko makes illustrated mascots and characters talk, not realistic videos of people. Start from your own character artwork, or create a new mascot in Masko Studio first.

How long can a talking animation be?

Up to 5 minutes. Up to 15 seconds, your mascot performs the line in one continuous take. Longer talks are cut in their natural pauses into takes of 5 to 15 seconds and joined into one video.

Can my mascot present an explainer video?

Yes. Write one short line per idea, make one talking clip per step, and place your transparent mascot beside your diagrams. Our guide shows a full example: Bo explaining why the sky is blue.

Read the explainer video guide
Which languages can my mascot speak?

Every language its voice supports. Masko detects the language from the words, or you can set it yourself.

How much does it cost?

A talking animation costs 2 credits per second of video. The price is shown before you generate, and unused seconds are refunded once the voice is recorded.
