Hi All! I am George Pierce, this post is about AI Avatar Pacing along with bonus avatar tips. Pacing is the speed that your avatar talks. Why that is important is that for some videos such as childrens' video, quizzes, and training videos, you may want to slow the speed a little. You do not want your viewer to feel "rushed'. The kinds of videos that I have mentioned, fall under the umbrella of 'educational' videos, but even if your video is not educational, if you feel that your viewer might feel rushed, slow it down a bit. If you are not sure, a 'normal' speed is about 120 to 150 words per minute. Fast is more than 150 words per minute (150 to 170), slow is less than 120 (100 to 120).
How To Change AI Avatar Pace?
Some AI Avatar sites such as the one above (Vidnoz) allow you to slow the speed. Click on options and then lower the speed.
AI Tip #1:
Shhh! On Vidnoz, I usually lower the pitch also, for both male and femaie, the reason is that the voice ends up different, and often, an improvement. Jaxin is an animated Vidnoz lion that emcees some of my kids' videos...I lower his pitch by 15, and he sounds like a LION.
Above is a snapshot of HeyGen, another AI avatar video site...UHOH! HeyGen has NO SPEED CONTROL! An effective way to slowwww the speech is SHORT Sentences. You can also add pauses (the second icon to the right of Pricing makes adding pauses easy). Long sentences seem to end up feeling 'rushed' on most AI avatar video generation sites to begin with, so avoid long sentences. On sites with no speed control, break up your content into short senetences.
A slower pace also helps avoid a 'robotic' feel, and gives your viewers more time to think or learn.
Tip #2:
Use The Right Tone
Choose the avatar with the voice that fits your video. Upbeat and energeitc and clear are preferred for most videos.
Friendly, curious, enthusiastic voices work best.
Test a few voices with 2–3 lines of your script before committing.
Recommendation: In HeyGen, try voices like “Emma” or “David (U.S.)” or "Brandon ~ Original Accent".
Thank you for reading.
Much success,

This is interesting information. Thank you for sharing George.
On HeyGen for example and for free, there are almost 1K chararcters, and over 1500 voices, and then each voice has options such as excited and even angry, thank you, John. Crafting videos based on proven winners is quite doable. That is a part of niche marketing I can share, thanks again.
