Long context lets you keep the persona, voice, and arc consistent over weeks.
TikTok character
ElevenLabs gives you a consistent voice; Pika + Runway hold a consistent look across episodes; CapCut ships them.
One cloned/marketplace voice = recognizable in 0.3s of audio. Worth it.
Pick a Pika style preset and lock it. Runway is too photoreal for cartoon characters.
Vertical-first, captions, fast.

Claude project: persona, voice, visual style, recurring beats.
Prompt · Character bible scaffoldBuild a character bible for a recurring short-form video character. Working idea: {{1-line concept, e.g. "a sarcastic raccoon who reviews tech"}} Niche: {{e.g. consumer tech, finance for Gen Z, parenting fails}} Format: 60-second daily videos, vertical, AI-generated visuals. Output the bible in this exact structure: 1. **Persona** (120 words): name, age, occupation, where they "live", what they care about, what they hate. Specific, not generic. 2. **Voice** (80 words): cadence, pet phrases (list 5), what they NEVER say, sample line. 3. **Visual style** (60 words): art direction (one reference if helpful), color palette, camera angle defaults, costume / accessories that recur. 4. **Recurring beats** (5): the 5 episode formats this character can rotate through (e.g. "rant review", "explain like I'm tired"). 5. **Hard rules** (list 5): things the character must never do — to keep them recognizable. Save this as the project context for every future episode prompt. - 2Daily scriptClaude

Prompt · 60-second daily scriptUse the character bible from this project. Today's beat: {{e.g. "rant review of Apple's new Vision Pro update"}} Source material: """ {{paste 1 to 2 articles, tweets, or screenshots-as-text}} """ Write a 60-second script (about 150 spoken words) in character voice. Structure: - 0:00 to 0:03 — Hook line. Specific, in voice, no "today we're talking about". - 0:03 to 0:45 — Body. 3 beats. One concrete fact or quote per beat. - 0:45 to 0:60 — Payoff line. Punchy, in voice, leaves the viewer with one idea. Format the output as: [0:00] Line spoken on screen [B-ROLL: what's visible behind the line] Stay under 160 words. No "subscribe for more". No filler. - 3Voice + visualsPika
