Character birthday videos

A birthday wish in iambic style

Let an imagined William Shakespeare compose a few lines for the birthday guest, all flourish and affection, with a playful jab at the passing years. You approve the verse before anything is filmed.

What the Bard does well

Grand compliments, mock-tragic sighs about age and the occasional invented insult that lands as a hug. Tell the writer one triumph and one harmless flaw, and the script will make theatre of both.

Good fits

  • Milestone birthdays that deserve a speech
  • Friends who did drama at school and never quite stopped
  • Anyone who would enjoy being called a paragon to their face

What to put in the brief

Their first name, how old they are if they will laugh about it, and a story worth exaggerating. Add a pronunciation note for unusual names.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it rhyme?

It can. Ask for verse in the details box, or keep it in prose with a theatrical flavour. You can edit every line either way.

Is this a real recording?

No. Every video is an imagined AI performance of a public-domain figure or storybook character. It is not an authentic recording, and nobody, living or historical, has endorsed it.

What does a video cost?

A single video is $14. Three videos cost $28 and five cost $40; the extra videos stay as credits you can spend on any character later. The price is the same for every character and every occasion.

What if something comes out wrong?

Each video includes one free remake of the same script within 30 days. Open your order page and choose Remake; it does not use a credit.
