Get a Voki now!
Meet my new Voki, Sara...she hopes you enjoy creating avatars.
Each of you will be creating your own Avatar. Before creating your Avatar you need to decide what your Avatar will say and record the voice. It should be no less than 20 seconds long. It could be a greeting, a famous quote, or rooting on your beloved team.
To record voice - you'll need a microphone and script, what you want to say. Keep in mind the quality of your voice when recording. Your voice should sound natural, like you would really talk. Your voice should not sound like you are reading from a script - it should be animated, having some inflection.
When your script is ready - practice out loud 2 or 3 times before recording. When you have practiced and you are ready to begin follow the following steps:
1. Plug microphone in
2. With your mouse, select start / accessories / entertainment / sound recording
3. Select red button to record
4. play back, if you like it, save it to your P drive under project folder
5. If you don't like it, select file new, don't save, and record again.
6. Once your recording is completed and you have saved it to your P drive, you are ready to make your Voki Avatar
