👋 Hello hello,
Lights, camera… ugh, who has time for action? Filming videos for your website, socials, or training sessions is a hassle—booking studios, wrangling actors, or staring awkwardly at your webcam. No thanks.
Video is king for engagement, conversions, and trust. But producing it? That’s usually a budget-busting, time-sucking ordeal.
What if you could skip the filming entirely and still get a professional video with a polished presenter speaking in any of 60+ languages? Enter Synthesia, the AI video generator that turns your script into a talking-head masterpiece using digital avatars.
Quick note: Synthesia is a paid tool starting at $18 a month on their yearly plan
No cameras. No actors. No stress.
In this week’s guide, we’ll show you how to create a marketing or training video using just:
• Synthesia’s AI platform
• A simple script
• Your avatar
Let’s get to it 👇
✅ The Complete AI Video Workflow
📝 Step 1: Write Your Script
• Log in to Synthesia or start a free trial at synthesia.io.
• Click “New Video” in the dashboard to begin.
• Paste your script into the script box, scene by scene. Synthesia auto-detects the script’s language. Keep it concise for a 1-2 minute video.

🎭 Step 2: Pick Your Avatar & Customize
• Choose from Synthesia’s library of 200+ AI Stock avatars or create your own personal avatar (think: friendly exec, cool tech bro, or warm teacher vibes)
• Select your language (English, Spanish, Mandarin, you name it)
• Tweak the background, add your logo, or pick a music track
Why it matters: The avatar is your video’s star. Matching their vibe to your brand keeps things authentic without hiring a real presenter.

📽️ Step 3: Generate & Share As You’d Like
• Hit “Generate Video” and wait ~5 minutes
• Download your video or share directly to socials, your website, or podcast platforms
• Need edits? Tweak the script and regenerate.
Why it matters: You get a polished video ready for LinkedIn, Instagram, or your homepage without touching a camera.
🧠 Bonus: Go Global with One Click
Do you cater to a multilingual audience?
Synthesia’s AI can re-record your script in 140+ languages with perfect lip-sync.
• After generating, select a new language from the dropdown
• Regenerate, and boom—your avatar speaks fluent French, Japanese, or any other language of your choosing.
Perfect for global teams or diverse audiences.
