Let the woman speak.
Skywork AI SkyReels V3 Standard Single Avatar generates a talking avatar video from a single reference image and an audio clip. It is designed for character-driven video generation where the image defines the avatar and the audio drives the speaking performance, making it suitable for digital presenters, short-form avatar content, narration clips, and virtual spokesperson workflows.
Single-image avatar generation Turn one portrait image into a speaking avatar video.
Audio-driven lip-sync Use an uploaded audio track to drive speech timing and performance.
Prompt-guided behavior Add a short prompt to influence expression, motion, or presentation style.
Simple avatar workflow Upload an image, upload audio, write a prompt, and generate the final clip with minimal setup.
Production-ready API Suitable for avatar presenters, talking portraits, announcement videos, and other character-led media workflows.

time.sleep(2)Skyreels v3 Standard Single Avatar is a Skywork Ai model for talking-avatar generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. SkyReels V3 Standard Single Avatar is a fast AI talking avatar video generation model that creates audio-driven avatar videos from one image, one audio file, and a motion prompt. Ready-to-use REST inference API for digital humans, virtual presenters, product explainers, social media videos, education content, marketing creatives, and professional avatar video workflows with simple integration, no coldstarts, and affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/skywork-ai/skywork-ai-skyreels-v3-standard-single-avatar.
Skyreels v3 Standard Single Avatar starts at $0.040 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `audio`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/skywork-ai/skywork-ai-skyreels-v3-standard-single-avatar.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Skywork Ai). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
