How to Create a Faceless Video Using AI

Faceless videos is all the rage these days—especially for creators who want to connect without jumping on camera.

Did you know that nearly 60% of Gen Z prefer video content that has more visuals over just talking-head videos?

As a content marketer, I know not everyone (myself included!) wants to be on camera for every piece of content. That’s why I’ve been experimenting with faceless content that lets me deliver value without feeling “on stage” 24/7.

So, how do you make faceless content?

AI video generation is the game-changer here. These tools let you create engaging videos with animations, voiceovers, and storytelling elements—all without needing to step in front of the camera.

For example, I recently created a quick tutorial series where animated characters and voice overs guided viewers through social media strategies. It was fun, easy, and a unique way to connect with my audience. And it took me just minutes from idea to finish—no retakes, no shaky footage, and no background noise, just clean, professional content.

This how-to guide will give you the details on creating faceless videos that connect and don’t get lost in the algorithm.

Faceless content is on the rise for a reason. Here’s what makes it so popular among creators:

Anonymity = Less Pressure

Let’s get real, we can all get camera shy sometimes. Or you might love the camera, but could be having a bad day, in the midst of an important deadline. You can’t be at your 100% all the time, and I get that. That’s why, with faceless content, you don’t have to be on it to make an impact. It’s ideal for days when you just want to focus on the message rather than being on screen.

Better Ways to Express Creativity

Since you need to think of new ways to tell your story without showing your face, faceless content opens up a world of options—like animations, voiceovers, and visual storytelling. For example, we used Steve AI to build a short tutorial on video creation, mixing both visuals of me talking and live footage, making the content engaging even without a human face on the screen constantly. It keeps things fresh and lets you play with new formats.

You Can Be Flexible With Your Storytelling
Without a face on screen, the story becomes the main focus. Take this as a chance to share more unique or niche content that audiences can connect with directly—like how-to guides, e.g., on how to sharpen image online, lifestyle tips, or quick explainer videos. Sometimes images speak better than words, and you can tell a better story by showing real examples and visuals.

Let AI Step In When You’re Short on Time

When you’re crunched for time, skip the setup and let an avatar deliver your message. Instead of recording yourself, simply use an avatar to deliver your message. This way, you still connect with your audience without having to worry about lighting, outfit changes, or camera setups—perfect for those hectic days!

Make The Story The Focus of Attention
When you take yourself out of the frame, viewers are free to focus purely on the content. 

I’ve found that faceless videos often garner more engagement, as people are able to zero in on the information and insights without distractions.

By now, I hope I’vemanaged to convince you that faceless videos are not only an easy, but a valuable way to tell your story, whether for your own channel or as a marketing manager for your brand. Now, let’s see how you can easily create your own faceless video in just a few simple steps.
