varg-character-keynote
Makes a vertical 9:16 "character on stage" video in one varg render: a custom character (Higgsfield Soul) stands at a conference keynote and delivers a one- or two-line hook with a physical punchline, voiced by Seedance 2.5 native audio with audience applause. Use when someone asks for a keynote or speaker-style UGC ad, a talking character or talking avatar giving a speech on stage, a spokesperson or mascot delivering one punchy line, a conference talk clip with a custom person, or wants to swap the character in this template. Not for long talking-head videos from a script or voiceover (use varg-ai with a lip-sync model), multi-scene ads with the same actors (use varg-consistent-characters), two-person dialogue (use varg-podcast-video), or songs (use varg-music-video).

# varg character keynote
One varg render produces a 9:16 talking-speaker video: Soul generates the character, Nano Banana 2.1 the empty stage, and Seedance 2.5 puts the character on that stage and voices the line with native audio.
Generation runs on varg: the varg MCP server (`https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp`, tool `render_video`) or the `varg-ai` skill (cloud render, `POST /v2/render`). Read `varg-ai` for sign-in, models and the render format.
## To create or swap a character, edit ONLY three things
1. `LINE`: one or two short spoken sentences, emotional hook + payoff (fits 8 s).
2. `character` prompt: "Candid photo of ..." + body/face/clothing details + "Vivid saturated colors, realistic skin detail." Contrast sells the line: an exact age, an unusual build or a loud outfit played straight beats a generic presenter. The `varg-character-design` skill has archetypes, realism wording and moderation-safe phrasing; if the speaker must reappear in other videos, make a sheet there and pass its face crop instead of generating with Soul.
3. `scene` prompt: stage description, always "empty, no people", with a themed screen behind the speaker.
## Template (cloud render: no imports)
