Hi Guys! I hope that you all may be doing well. So here I am with a new and interesting topic. Are you guys puzzled by the booming success of faceless YouTube channels? You’re not alone! It’s absolutely fascinating to see how content creators are captivating millions without ever showing their faces! and many of them are not even using their own voices(using AI voiceovers). If you have not seen such channels then you should. It’s a sort of latest trend out there, creators are earning through such channels. I just saw some articles on faceless YouTube channels and their success. It’s not only about YouTube, creators are making faceless courses and earning dollars. I myself then saw someone on threads, who was selling faceless courses , I got to know that she is a mother of four and she has not much time to be on camera(getting ready and all that stuff). She was selling digital marketing courses at really high prices. There are many accounts named faceless vibes or such. So this all stuff made me curious, like how it is happening? and I then myself started searching for tools to make a faceless video and this article is all about what I discovered. You know well that all this is possible only because of AI. So here is a guide about what I discovered, while trying to make a faceless video. So if you wanna create such a video or a YouTube channel , Let’s dive right in!

1. Create a Channel

First, you need to create a channel, you can simply create it by clicking create a channel button on your YouTube profile. Then you need to have a channel name and an icon/profile pic, If you have got some idea ,then use it , otherwise you can use ChatGPT for channel name ideas or for prompts to generate a logo for your channel. If you want to, add a banner image and it’s all set. You don’t need to worry about this, that much, because I have seen such channels which don’t have a good banner image or logo, but they are doing great.

2. Creating a Faceless YouTube Video

The most important step is to create a video for your channel, there are AI tools for which you need to pay, but I have found some free tools. So let’s get started with it.

1. Creating Script

First thing for creating a video is to have a topic on which you wanna write and create a script. If you can write it yourself, then it’s great. Otherwise, you can ask ChatGPT to write it. You can give it the prompt.

“Generate a YouTube script for an AI Channel.”

You can give the prompt considering your own choice. It will generate a script , but you need to humanize that AI script. As nobody will be interested in purely AI-generated content. I just recently found a tool named Dupdub AI which generated humanized AI-content. So you can use it to create humanized-content (if you don’t have any experience or idea). Live Chat (an AI ChatBot).

2. Generating Audio

The next step is generating an audio, and I found a real cool AI-audio generator for it and it is ElevenLabs. I liked it because it was having Asian voiceover options, as I belong from Asia and I was looking for an Asian-English accent and I got it there. It offers a free trial of 10,000 words. You cans select three voices you like in free trial, it also have other options like cloning your own voice, speech-to-speech generator and other tools. If you are planning to start your own YouTube channel, it is a good option. You can find it here ElevenLabs. You simply need to copy your script and paste it after selecting a voice. Now your audio is ready.

3. Generating Visuals

For generating visuals for your video , You can use Leonardo.AI( it gives you free credits of 150 daily). I particularly mentioned it as it has a motion option on images and after generating images , You can set them to motion of 3(I found it okay), and they will be like 4–5 seconds videos. The most irritating and time-taking part can be writing prompts for your images, and for that you can ask ChatGPT or Ninja-AI. You can give it the following prompt.

“We are going to play a game and you are going to be my prompt producer. I will paste one paragraph at a time from my script and your job is to create visuals for it. Most Specifically, you will give me three prompts for each paragragh that matches the storyline and create visuals for it.”

That’s the prompt , it’s a bit tricky, but it works. Now copy and paste these prompts in image-generator tool and create images, set them to motion for converting them into videos. That’s it.

4. Editing Your Video

The last but not the least step is to edit your video and to compile all the shattered parts together and for doing it I used CapCut. You need to have a little editing knowledge to do that, but you can try it and learn. There are some other effects that you can add to your videos, to make them, more-real and less AI-like, but I will talk about them later.

For today that’s it. There are some other alternatives I found for the tools mentioned above, but I will talk about them later. I also wanna tell you about the incredible tools I stumbled upon that are perfect for those of us who prefer to keep things effortless when it comes to video creation, but I will talk about them later, so stay tuned for that. As I think, for today, it’s enough.

Stay Happy and Blessed!

Happy Learning!
