Generating content with Cameos
Cameos are reusable characters built from a short video‑and‑audio capture of you. Appear in Sora videos—made by you or by people you approve—using a realistic version of your likeness and voice. You’re always in control and can revoke access at any time.
- • Create your cameo once (≈5 seconds, vertical, with expressive face and voice).
- • Choose who can use it: Only me, People I approve, Mutuals, or Everyone.
- • Review drafts that include you; remove or retake your cameo anytime.

Create a great cameo
Before you start
- Use varied, bright lighting; avoid heavy filters or tinted glasses.
- Clean background; keep the room quiet with minimal echo.
- Hold the camera at eye level, arm’s length; keep your whole face in frame.
- Fill the frame with your face; avoid standing too far back.
Framing & movement
- Use big expressions (happy, sad, surprised); move at a normal speed.
- Turn your head slowly left/right and slightly up/down to cover angles.
- Include a few seconds of natural light with gentle face shadows.
- Remember: the model can only generate what it has seen of you.
Voice capture
- Read the verification phrase exactly as shown—no ad‑libbing.
- Speak clearly at a normal pace and volume; vary pitch and tone.
- Keep the mic 6–12 inches from your mouth; don’t cover the microphone.
Do’s & Don’ts
- Center your face; avoid fast head movements or motion blur.
- Don’t include other people or voices in frame/audio.
- If results aren’t great, retake in better light or a quieter room.
