Was wondering if there are any good tutorials out on basic voice acting. Have some sound files here that I want some models to speak, I don't really need to dabble in FacePoser and all that, just need their mouths to match the .wav file. Any instructios on this out there?

I think Lip sync without FacePoser would be impossible... Even small speaches like Alyx's "Excuse me" use .vcd files. Choreography Implementation is a good place to start. Basically you make .vcd files for NPC speaches, then you load them via Logic choreographed scene or the Response System. --N-neko

I'll start there, thanks.

Well I read through that page and checked out the sample map. Still many confusing elements of the .vcd file. Are there any tutorials out at this point in time?

There's a whole category dedicated to it. --TomEdwards 11:48, 5 Nov 2005 (PST)
