ElevenLabs Chimera turns a still image into a talking character, first demos land
azed_ai · x · 2026-10-24
ElevenLabs Chimera pairs Eleven v4 (emotional speech) with Seedance 2.5 (facial performance) to turn still images into talking, expressive video characters. Creators can direct lines with audio tags like [whispers], [laughs] and [yells]. Early demos show a convincing mother-talking-about-her-baby clip; quality still has room to grow but the direction is compelling.
