Talking Head

A talking head is a video format where a person (or AI avatar) speaks directly to the camera. It's one of the most common formats for educational and opinion content. In AI video, talking heads can be generated using avatar providers like HeyGen, D-ID, or Synthesia, creating realistic presenters from text scripts.
