- Notes:
  > Create a short sample first, especially when using a new portrait, voice recording, or creative direction. A brief test reveals whether the face stays stable, the mouth follows the speech naturally, and the image framing supports the intended delivery. It is much faster to improve a ten-second example than to redo a long presentation.
  > 
  > Review the test at normal playback speed, then pause at challenging moments. Look closely at lip shapes, teeth, eyes, hairlines, hands, clothing edges, and the area where the subject meets the background. Also check whether the visible expression remains appropriate for the words being spoken.
  > 
  > When a test needs improvement, change only one major variable at a time: use a clearer image, refine the audio, shorten the script, or choose calmer phrasing. This makes it easier to learn which input change improved the output and keeps the production process repeatable.
