Sometimes. Your choices depend on the tool and your access. The settings available to an everyday user may differ from those available to the people running it.
Common questions
- Does an avatar represent a real person's views?
- Only if that relationship is established; appearance alone does not show endorsement.
- Does an avatar need to resemble a real person?
- No. It can be a wholly fictional character.
- Can the face and voice be generated separately?
- Yes. Different tools or recordings can be combined into the finished presentation.
