🎙️ How I Created My First Anime Short Using Just My Voice and a ₹799 Mic

Let’s be honest making anime used to feel impossible unless you were a trained animator or had a big team behind you.

Not anymore.

I recently discovered a workflow that lets you turn your voice and face into an anime video with nothing more than two free AI tools and a budget mic setup under ₹800.

The best part? You don’t need any animation skills, expensive software, or even a laptop. This entire process works right from your phone.

Here’s the full setup I used, how it works, and how you can do the same even if you’ve never created content before

Step 1: The Tools You’ll Need

Let’s keep this simple. You only need two AI tools and one piece of gear.

1. Pika.art – AI Anime Scene Generator

This free tool lets you turn text prompts into animated video clips. Think:

• “A samurai walking through a rainy alley”
• “A neon-lit anime city from above”
• “A forest spirit floating through glowing trees”

Pika generates 3–15 second clips with smooth anime-style motion. It’s shockingly good.

2. Tafi – Voice to Anime Avatar

Tafi lets you upload your voice and have a custom anime avatar lip-sync your words in real time.
Perfect for:

• Anime intros
• Reels with dialogues
• Short storytelling content

3. ₹799 Mic + Tripod Combo

I picked up a basic mic + tripod combo on Amazon for under ₹800. It dramatically improved my voice quality (no echo, less noise).

Here’s what it includes:

• Flexible tripod stand
• Clip-on or plug-in mic (3.5mm or USB-C)
• Wind muff and noise filter

You can plug it into your phone, record clean audio using any app (CapCut, VN), and upload it to Tafi.

Step 2: The Workflow (3 Easy Steps)

This is how I created my first anime short using just my phone and this setup:

1. Write a short dialogue (1–2 lines)
2. Record your voice using the tripod mic into CapCut or your voice memo app
3. Upload the voice to Tafi – get an anime avatar talking like you
4. Generate a background video in Pika.art based on your story
5. Edit in CapCut – layer both clips, adjust timing, and add subtitles

Boom anime short in under 30 minutes

Real Prompt I Used in Pika.art:

“A lone ninja walking across a foggy mountain trail at night, cinematic, anime style, moonlight in background.”

It returned a 10-second clip with great detail and perfect motion.

Why This Works (Even If You’re a Beginner)

• ✅ No drawing or editing needed
• ✅ Voice + prompt = your own anime
• ✅ Looks super professional in reels and YouTube shorts
• ✅ Total setup under ₹800
• ✅ Works entirely from your phone

This is perfect for:

• Students making short stories
• Creators experimenting with AI
• Anime fans building a niche page
• TikTokers and YouTubers trying something new
