Talking portraits & presenters
The short answer
A talking portrait is a video in which a person in a photo speaks a script. Mockumentary turns a consenting person’s photo and recorded voice into a natural speaking presenter for training, sales and brand films. We need the person’s written consent, and we label the result as AI-generated.

Consent
We need written consent from every person who is shown or voiced. We never recreate a real person without it, and AI-generated work is labeled as such.
Questions
About talking portraits & presenters
Do you need consent to use a face?
Yes, always. We need written consent from the person whose face and voice are used, covering what it will say and where it will run. We never recreate a real person without it.
Can you make a presenter of someone who has passed away?
Only with written consent from the person’s estate or next of kin, and only for private family or memorial use. We do not make public-facing films of people who cannot consent.
Can I use a generated presenter instead of a real person?
Yes. A fictional presenter needs no one’s consent and stays consistent across every script.
