Abstract

A system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code, a character database, a language model and an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained to emulate speech by a character. The software code is executed to receive interaction data including a description of speech by a human to a performer impersonating the character and a description of a facial expression by the performer in response, obtain, from the character database, one or more communication trait(s) of the character, and generate, by the language model using the description of the speech and the communication trait(s) as inputs, a character-specific response to the speech. The software code is further executed to synthesize, by the AI model using the character-specific response and the description of the facial expression as inputs, audio data of the character-specific response in a voice of the character, and output the audio data for use by the performer.
