Model overview

dreamtalk is a diffusion-based audio-driven expressive talking head generation framework developed by cjwbw. It can produce high-quality talking head videos across diverse speaking styles, including songs, speech in multiple languages, noisy audio, and out-of-domain portraits. dreamtalk exhibits robust performance, building upon the foundations of previous works like PIRenderer, AVCT, StyleTalk, and others. Similar models by the same creator include sadtalker, video-retalking, aniportrait-audio2vid, analog-diffusion, and voicecraft.

Model inputs and outputs

dreamtalk takes in an audio file, a reference speaking style, a head pose, and an input portrait. It then generates a talking head video that matches the audio and exhibits the desired speaking style and head pose. The model can handle a variety of audio file formats, including wav, mp3, m4a, and mp4.

Inputs

  • Audio: The input audio file
  • Style clip: A reference speaking style, specified as a 3DMM parameter sequence
  • Pose: The desired head pose, also specified as a 3DMM parameter sequence
  • Image: The input portrait, which should be larger than 256x256 and will be cropped to that size

Outputs

  • Talking head video: A high-quality video of a talking head that matches the input audio, style, and pose
