For the new year I tried a super generic prompt using my 2026 key words: “Create me a photo realistic scene using the attached photo for likeness, of an extraordinary scene of this woman being empowered, unapologetic, Magnetic, independent” and kept hitting create over and over, using OpenArt

Kling 2.6 just solved the biggest problem in AI video: AI videos used to look cool but sounded like nothing — creators had to manually add dialogue, sound effects, etc. Total pain. Now? Kling creates the video and the audio together in one shot. Dialogue, tone, sound effects, everything synced. 1. It “Understands” Sound Like It's Visual If you tell Kling “she whispers a secret,” it doesn’t just quiet the voice. It literally changes the whole scene — lighting, camera angle, facial expression — because it treats audio cues as cinematic direction. So your words tell it how the moment should look and feel, not just sound. 2. You Have to Direct the Scene (Not Just Prompt It) Kling wants a director, not a vague prompter. You need 5 pieces: 1️⃣ Scene – where you are + lighting/mood 2️⃣ Character – who’s speaking + what they’re wearing 3️⃣ Action – what they’re physically doing 4️⃣ Dialogue – the exact words in quotes 5️⃣ Tone – emotional delivery (“excited,” “whispering,” “sarcastic”) Plus, it responds to special “support words” like: - whispering = softer voice, closer camera - shouting = louder voice, more intensity - fast-talking = faster lip sync - hoarse voice = changes vocal texture Basically: the more specific you are, the better the scene. 3. The Lip-Sync Is Scary Good — And Stupid Cheap Kling now has the best lip-sync in the AI world. Even for singing or rapping. And the cost? About $1–$2 for a 10-second clip. That’s around 10x cheaper than tools like Google’s Veo. Huge deal for creators, coaches, marketers, and scrappy studios. 4. You Can Animate Static Images — With VOICES Kling can take any image (yes, even your Flux Lora images) and turn it into: - a moving character - with a real voice - with synced lips - and emotional expression Your existing image library suddenly becomes a video library. 5. Make 10-Second Clips — Not 5 5-second clips are too short. The character can’t breathe, talk naturally, or react. 10 seconds = ✔ smoother performance
