To address the expanding needs for social interaction, virtual avatar technology is capturing widespread interest. In the digital age, it's increasingly important to find innovative yet secure methods of online socialization. Virtual avatars present a compelling solution, enhancing online interactions by making them more personal and enabling a new level of expression and creativity within a safe privacy framework. This paper leverages the latest in Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) and audio-driven technology to create customiz-able virtual avatars. These avatars can be tailored to users' preferences, offering a variety of visual styles and the ability to engage in conversations, thus providing a fresh and highly interactive way to connect online. Overall, this study opens up broader possibilities for future digital social interactions.
