Creating a Consistent AI Character for Brand Videos
In today’s digital landscape, video marketing has transformed from a “nice to have” to an absolute necessity. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), brands and creators are now empowered to craft ultra-realistic, engaging characters that resonate with audiences. But as powerful as AI characters can be, consistency is the key to making them on-brand, believable, and memorable. This blog will examine creating a consistent AI character for brand videos.
We created the above video for a real estate company in Thailand. Unfortunately, we could not maintain the consistency of the female real estate agent character due to budget restraints of the client. But overall, we did the best we could under a limited budget.
Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, a marketing agency, or a large business, creating a consistent AI character for your videos requires careful planning and execution. It is an art and a craft, that is why we take this seriously to ensure continuity in the videos we create. Let’s break down how to build, manage, and sustain a consistent AI character across your video campaigns.
Define Your AI Character’s Persona
Before you even think about visuals or voice, you need to define the character’s personality. Ask yourself:
Who is this character?
What values do they represent?
What tone of voice should they have? (e.g., formal, friendly, humorous)
How will they interact with the audience?
Documenting these details in a character style guide is a crucial first step. For example, if you create an AI spokesperson named “Alex,” you might decide that Alex is a friendly, trustworthy, and informative figure who uses plain, easy-to-understand language.
Design a Consistent Visual Identity
Once you have the persona nailed down, translate it visually. Consistency in visuals builds recognition and trust. For an AI character, this usually includes:
Consistent facial features
Hairstyle and colors
Clothing style
Consistent background or setting
Logo placement
Use the same AI generation tools (such as Synthesia, HeyGen, or other avatar generators) and lock in a standard template for every video. This ensures the character always looks the same, even if you change the script.
Choose a Consistent Voice
Your character’s voice is just as important as their visual look. Many text-to-speech (TTS) tools let you save or train a consistent voice profile. Make sure you:
Select a voice that matches your brand tone
Maintain the same voice parameters (speed, pitch, accent)
Test the voice on different scripts to avoid awkward phrasing
If your brand wants a more emotional or “human” feel, consider advanced AI voices that support emotional inflection. Whatever you pick, consistency is non-negotiable.
Script with the Character in Mind
When writing scripts for your AI character, stay true to the persona you outlined. If Alex is friendly and educational, avoid jargon-heavy or overly formal text. Consistency in language and style will make your character feel like a familiar presence to your audience over time.
Tip: Create a library of phrases, sign-offs, and catchphrases that your character uses repeatedly. This creates a sense of continuity, just like a real human presenter would have their own style and go-to expressions.
Coordinate Motion and Gestures
Modern AI video tools allow you to program gestures, facial expressions, and even hand movements. Keep these consistent as well. For example, if your character frequently uses open-hand gestures to appear welcoming, use those across every video.
If you want your character to smile at certain moments, plan those cues carefully. Subtle consistency in nonverbal behavior helps strengthen viewer trust.
Test and Get Audience Feedback
Don’t assume you’ve nailed it after one or two videos. Collect feedback from your audience:
Do they like the character?
Is the tone engaging and authentic?
Are there any moments where the character feels “off” or robotic?
AI is evolving rapidly, so you may need to refine your character based on real-world reactions. Treat the process as an iterative journey rather than a one-time build.
Create a Reproducible Workflow
If you work with a team, create a clear documentation process so anyone can reproduce your AI character’s videos. Your workflow should include:
The script template
The AI generator settings
Visual templates
Audio/voice settings
Character guide
This ensures that if a new team member takes over, your AI character stays consistent from video to video.
Stay On-Brand Over Time
Brands evolve, and your AI character should evolve too — but carefully. Any updates to appearance, voice, or personality should happen gradually, with transparent communication to your audience. This mirrors how brands refresh human presenters without breaking audience trust.
For example, you might update the wardrobe to match a seasonal campaign or introduce slight voice improvements over time, but you should never abruptly switch to an entirely different style.
Final Thoughts
Creating a consistent AI character isn’t just a technical exercise — it’s a branding strategy. By defining a clear persona, maintaining visual and vocal consistency, scripting with intention, and documenting your process, you can build a virtual personality that is just as credible as a human spokesperson.
