"To create an Akool talking photo that faces the viewer directly with minimal hand movements, use a prompt that emphasizes a static, professional, and front-facing pose. 
Prompt for Minimal Movement:
"A professional, front-facing portrait. The subject looks directly into the camera with a calm, subtle smile. The shoulders are steady and the posture is still. Minimize all hand movements and large body gestures, focusing only on natural lip-syncing and facial expressions. The head remains mostly stationary, facing forward."

Key Tips for Best Results in Akool

• Image Choice: Use a high-resolution portrait where the subject is already facing forward, well-lit, and in a close-up or medium shot.
• Prompting Motion: While you can use the prompt to ask for no movement, the API's default behavior is to keep the body still if no special gestures are requested.
• Add "Still" Keywords: Include terms like "portrait photo," "direct gaze," "steady posture," and "calm demeanor" in your image description or API prompt.
• Avoid "Motion" Presets: If using Akool’s "Motion Avatars" feature, do not select active gestures like hand waving or fist pumping.
• Use Emotion Control: Set the emotion to "calm" or "serious" to reduce excessive facial animation.

Throughout the video, maintain direct eye contact with the camera as if speaking to the viewer. Use natural, smooth hand gestures to emphasize points, such as open palms for welcome or pointing forward to engage. Keep the expression friendly and inviting, ensuring the gaze remains fixed on the lens to create a personal connection.
