SoulX FlashHead generates realistic talking head videos by combining a portrait image with audio. Upload a face image and audio clip — the model creates a lip-synced video with natural facial movements and expressions. With support for audio clips up to 30 minutes and budget-friendly pricing, it's ideal for long-form talking avatar content.
Long-form support Generate talking avatar videos with audio up to 30 minutes in length.
Realistic lip-sync Accurate lip movements synchronized to the audio input.
Natural expressions Creates realistic facial movements and expressions during speech.
Budget-friendly Lower cost per second compared to other talking avatar models.
Resolution options Choose between 480p and 720p output quality.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | Portrait image for the avatar (URL or upload) |
| audio | Yes | Audio clip for lip-sync (URL or upload, max: 30 min) |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 480p, 720p (default) |
| seed | No | Random seed for reproducibility (-1 for random) |
| Duration | 720p | 480p |
|---|---|---|
| ≤5 s | $0.15 | $0.075 |
| 10 s | $0.30 | $0.15 |
| 30 s | $0.90 | $0.45 |
| 60 s | $1.80 | $0.90 |
| 5 min | $9.00 | $4.50 |
The maximum supported audio duration is 10 minutes. Longer audio is automatically trimmed to 10 minutes before processing.
Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/soulx-flashhead with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Soulx Flashhead below.

time.sleep(2)Soulx Flashhead is a WaveSpeedAI model for talking-avatar generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. SoulX FlashHead enables real-time streaming talking head video generation from portrait image and audio with ultra-fast 96 FPS performance. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, 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/wavespeed-ai/soulx-flashhead.
Soulx Flashhead starts at $0.075 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: `image`, `audio`, `resolution`, `seed`. 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/wavespeed-ai/soulx-flashhead.
Average end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 129 seconds per request — measured across recent runs. Queue time scales with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
