Talking 3D fruit characters, and Mittens and Biscuit from Clippie’s Animals pack, drawn in the 3D animated film look and ready to voice.
How to make a 3D character speak. Four steps.
- 1
Draw your 3D character
In the character library, describe them (“a grumpy owl professor with round glasses and a tweed jacket”) and draw them in 3D animated film, Fruit people, Kids cartoon or Claymation.
- 2
Pick a voice
Choose from 125 hand-picked voices or search thousands more. The character keeps it in every video.
- 3
Write what they say
One line for a single clip on the Talking page, or a whole script in AI Story’s Characters talk, with [laughs] or [whispers] for acting.
- 4
Make them talk
The character is animated speaking and the voice is lined up with the lips. Add captions and export.
3D characters, with a voice of their own.
3D looks that take references
Fruit people, 3D animated film, Kids cartoon, Claymation, Toy brick and Blocky voxel draw every scene from your character’s picture.
Characters that stay the same
Give each character a name, a “Looks like” line and a picture. Every scene they are in uses that picture, so the same face turns up in scene 1 and scene 40.
Lips in sync with the voice
The character is animated saying the line, and Clippie lines the voice you picked up with the lips, so the character still sounds like themselves.
Voice acting tags
Write [whispers], [laughs], [sighs] or [nervous] in a line and the voice performs it. The Voice acting button adds tags for you without changing a word.
A character library
Characters you make are saved to your library, ready for the next story. Start from Clippie’s Fruit, Animals and Stickman packs.

Frequently asked questions.
How do I make a 3D character talk?
Get a picture of the character with their face toward the camera, then open Talking in Clippie’s AI Studio, upload the picture, type a line and pick a voice. Clippie animates the character speaking and lines the voice up with the lips, in 4 to 30 seconds. For a conversation between several 3D characters, use Characters talk in AI Story.
Do I need a 3D model or animation software?
No. There is no rigging, modelling or keyframing. The character is a picture drawn in a 3D look, and the video model animates the face and body from it.
How do I create a 3D character from scratch?
Add a character in AI Story or the character library, describe them in the “Looks like” line, pick a 3D look such as 3D animated film or Fruit people, and press Draw them. You get a full-body character on a plain background, which every scene then uses as a reference. Drawing characters needs a Clippie subscription.
How do characters look the same in every scene?
Each character has a picture and a “Looks like” line. On looks marked with the standing-figure icon (including Fruit people, 3D animated film, Kids cartoon, Claymation and the stickman looks), every scene a character is in gets their picture as a reference. The other looks keep characters consistent from the “Looks like” line.
Can I make a 3D animal talk?
Yes. The character library’s Animals pack has Mittens, an orange tabby in a chef apron, and Biscuit, a golden retriever puppy, both drawn in the 3D animated film look and voiced. Add them to a story or draw your own animal.
How much does it cost?
Talking clips use AI credits from your Clippie plan or a credit top-up, priced by the clip’s length and quality (480p or 720p, and 1080p on the Talking page). You see the price of every clip before it starts. A typed line is charged on a generous estimate and the difference comes back once the voice is made, and a clip that fails is refunded. Exporting the finished video uses your plan’s export minutes.
