Audio-driven talking head synthesis has achieved impressive progress in lip synchronization and visual quality, yet generating expressive emotional avatars with controllable intensity remains challenging, especially under real-time constraints. In this paper, we present GaussianEmoTalker, an audio-driven framework for real-time emotional talking head synthesis based on 3D Gaussian Splatting.
Emotional 3D talking head generation aims to synthesize expressive facial animations with accurate lip synchronization. However, existing methods often rely on discrete emotion categories, which fail...

EmbedTalk introduces per‑Gaussian embeddings to drive speech‑driven facial deformations in real‑time talking head synthesis, replacing traditional tri‑plane encodings. This approach improves rendering quality, lip synchronisation, and motion consistency compared to prior 3D Gaussian Splatting methods while producing more compact models that run at 60+ FPS on a laptop GPU. The technique demonstrates competitive performance against state‑of‑the‑art generative models.
