How do you lip-sync a character to a voice or song?
On Higgsfield: In Lipsync Studio, upload a character image or video, type the line or add the audio, pick a model and generate, and it locks the person's lips to the script or audio. For a recurring talking avatar, train a Soul ID on 20+ photos of the person, generate the voice, choose a LipSync Studio preset and apply the Soul ID.
Without Higgsfield: Generate the speech before the video and upload the voice clip or song as an audio reference, which Seedance 2.0 uses to drive the lip sync. Start the talking clip from a frame with the lips gently closed, since the model animates speech more cleanly from a neutral mouth.
Axis: generate speech with the clip … lip-sync a finished shot to the track
Concept: lip sync
