Start with who should take the lead. A strong cast gives the prepared performance its meaning: a birthday star, a reunion of friends or a teammate making an unexpected sax entrance. You can use one portrait or build a band of up to five consenting adults.
These are casting ideas for the existing concert. They do not add birthday lyrics, change the room or create a different song.
A birthday concert
Put the birthday person on lead vocals so they appear in the opening and returning close-ups. Invite friends to the backing mics, then give the sax part to the person whose entrance would make the group laugh.
For a two-person version, fill the lead and one optional slot. You do not need to collect five photos. Add a birthday message in your own post or message when sharing; the studio has no custom-text or lyric control.
A best-friend reunion
Use the lead for the friend who usually starts the conversation, front mic for their duet partner, and the two back positions for the rest of the group. Save sax for a surprise reveal.
Use a separate portrait for each person, even if you already have a group photo together. Ask everyone which photo they are comfortable using. Do not fill several roles with a group shot.
An office farewell or celebration
Make a departing colleague the lead and use willing teammates for the band. A small cast is fine: leaving slots empty keeps those parts unassigned rather than shifting other people into them.
Share it as a playful AI send-off, and make sure the people involved are comfortable with the joke. It should not imply that a colleague actually sang, endorsed something or took part in a real filmed performance.
A team’s after-match encore
Cast adult members of your own recreational team or fantasy-league group. The lead can be the week’s star or a friend who enjoys a gentle roast. Keep the joke friendly and agreed in advance.
Use your own group’s permitted photos. A sports meme is not a reason to use an unrelated public figure’s portrait or present an AI performance as real footage.
A one-person session
One clear lead portrait is enough. Leave the four optional parts empty and focus on the opening close-up. This is a useful choice when you want to join the format without gathering other people’s pictures.
The current credit quote is the same for one to five people. Adding more people gives you a different cast, not a longer video.
Choose the role before the photo
- Lead singer: the person you want viewers to recognize first, in the opening and returning close-ups.
- Front mic: a distinct backing vocalist at the front microphone.
- Back-left vocals: the backing singer on the viewer’s left.
- Back-right vocals: the backing singer on the viewer’s right.
- Sax: the performer featured in the later saxophone shot.
The photos guide facial appearance, hair, build and clothing. Instruments, the room and the performance follow the concert reference. An optional close-up of the same person can provide clearer facial reference; exact outfits and likeness are not guaranteed. See the photo guide for file and framing requirements.
Before you share the finished MP4
Watch the whole video, with sound on. Check each face and role, hands and instruments, and the transition into the sax section. Generated audio, likeness and movement can vary; the example video does not guarantee the same result.
