# Lip-sync quality checklist — a practical guide

The goal here is a short clip that looks natural, finished in minutes rather than an afternoon.

A one-page check I run before I share a talking video from [Fameo](https://fameo.ai).

## Image

- [ ] Front-facing, with the mouth visible
- [ ] Face large in the frame
- [ ] No hands, toys, or deep shadows covering the lips
- [ ] I have the right to use this still

## Audio and script

- [ ] First version is 10–20 seconds
- [ ] Pauses between sentences
- [ ] Text I would actually say, or audio I recorded / licensed
- [ ] The tool page matches the job (pet, cartoon, drawing, singing, or [multi-talk video](https://fameo.ai/lip-sync-generators/ai-multi-talk))

## Review

- [ ] Watched with sound
- [ ] Watched with sound off — the mouth still reads as speech
- [ ] Exported in HD
- [ ] Caption or context makes it clear this is a generated talking still
- [ ] No unauthorized likeness or impersonation

Treat the first export as a draft; small script edits are cheaper than a second photo shoot.
