HeyGen’s new AI Studio update brings a refreshing twist to AI video creation by giving users more creative say in how their avatars talk and move. What makes this different from other tools out there right now is the focus on expression — not just lip-syncing or voice swaps. With natural-language commands like “make this part sound excited,” creators can adjust tone and delivery in a more intuitive way.What really stands out is the ability to mirror real speech patterns and even hand gestures. Instead of stiff, generic movements, you can upload your own speaking style or gestures, and the avatar picks up on your personal quirks. It’s a small but meaningful leap toward making digital avatars feel less like bots — and more like you. Read more on HeyGen’s blog
