What they did

At closings Terry asks clients for a photo or video to help him get new business. This client did not want to be on video and did not want her voice used. So he asked her for a Google review, took the photo they had made together at closing, and put the photo and her review text into HeyGen to make a client testimonial video. He also told HeyGen to change her shirt and other details. He shows the finished video in a separate post.

Result

No number.

Self-reported; not verified.
Where it goes wrong
The client said no to video and no to her own voice; the AI video is still built from her photo and her words. He does not say whether she approved the AI version or whether it is labelled as AI.
Conflict of interest
None found.

  • Watch the video — the HeyGen step is at about 1:19–1:40. The finished video is in his next post, which we did not review. TikTok has no time links.
I took the pic that she and I had taken before, put her Google view into Hey, Jen.
