We're thrilled to announce that Express-2 avatars are live across all plans—with no limits and no extra cost.

What's new & why it's important

Express-2 avatars gesture like professional speakers: they point, highlight the key points and use body language to show emotions based on your script.

Each avatar has multiple angles and framings, so you can switch between close-ups, side views, and wide shots with a click.

You will see new and familiar faces: Ada and Ryan are back—meet Zola, Michael, and Ellie.

Some avatars have emotion-ready voices; Zola, Michael, and Ellie have built-in voice styles: concerned, excited, neutral, and assertive.

Use ready-made templates: each avatar has templates for common use cases, and Stylish Dynamic and Minimalist Pop work with the AI Video Assistant to automatically change framings for you.

Which avatars can I use?

  • Starter / Creator / Enterprise: Ryan, Ada, Michael, Ellie, Zola
  • Free plan: Zola, Michael

Pro tips

  • Use wide shots for context, medium for clarity, and close-ups for key moments.
  • Pair an assertive voice with short sentences for strong calls-to-action.
  • Use Dynamic Templates to create YouTube-style videos in minutes.
