Step 1: Prepare Your Space

Lighting:
-Use bright, even light on your face (natural daylight is best).
-Avoid shadows or light behind you.

Background:
-Keep it simple and uncluttered, like a plain wall.

Noise:
-Record in a quiet space without background sounds.

Step 2: Position Yourself

-Sit upright and relaxed.
-Look directly into the camera lens.
-Frame yourself from the chest up with a little space above your head.
-Keep your head and shoulders steady — avoid swaying.
-Smile naturally and let your expressions show.

Step 3: Camera or Photo Setup

If recording video (recommended):

-Use a smartphone, tablet, or webcam.
-Place it on a stable surface at eye level.
-Record in horizontal (landscape) mode.
-Keep resolution at least 1080p.

-Important: A well-lit, expressive video will always give the best and most accurate results.

If using a photo:

-Take a clear, high-quality portrait.
-Face the camera directly, ensuring you are well-lit and unobstructed.
-No hats, sunglasses, or face coverings.

Please note: While photos are accepted, we strongly recommend submitting a well-lit, expressive video for the best results. If only a photo is provided, your Sweet AI avatar may not capture your likeness with full accuracy.

Step 4: What to Say in the Video

This is not your holiday message. You don’t need to talk to your recipient.

Instead, just speak naturally for 45–60 seconds.

You can talk about anything — for example:
-what you had for breakfast,
-a favorite memory
-or even just read a few sentences from a book.

The actual words don’t matter — what matters is that your face and voice are clear.

Important: Please keep it classy, positive, and free of vulgar or derogatory language.

Step 5: Send Us Your Recording

Watch your video (or check your photo) before sending to ensure it’s clear and well-lit.

Upload it using the private link we provide.

We’ll handle the rest, transforming your recording into your Sweet AI Message inside the cookie box.
