One of the benefits of Papagayo is that it can easily lip-sync sound files with multiple actors speaking, something that can be difficult using other lip-sync approaches. We're going to start with a plain sound file again, but if you want to see the finished result, the file is called "scared.pgo" and is available in Papagayo's "Tutorial Files" folder.
Select the File->Open menu command (or use the toolbar button), and select the file "scared.wav", located in Papagayo's "Tutorial Files" folder.
If you play back this file, you'll hear two actors speaking. The process for lip-syncing multiple actors is exactly the same as for a single one. We just need to enter them into Papagayo as separate voices.
In the "Spoken text" box, enter (or copy/paste) the following text:
Chris, I'm scared to death. I don't think I have that particular neurotransmitter.
Be sure that the two sentences are entered on separate lines by pressing the Enter key between them. This separation tells Papagayo that the two sentences are separate phrases. This will make it easier to have a second person speaking in between. Enter "Ross" as the voice name and run a "Phonetic Breakdown":
We're not going to worry about alignment just yet. Before we get to that, let's enter the second speaking voice.
Press the New button (underneath the voice list) to create a new voice in this project. Name the second voice "Chris", and enter the following "Spoken text" for the new voice:
Yeah, we all are, but our brains secrete a neurotransmitter that enables us to deal with them. Come on.
Run a "Phonetic Breakdown" on this second voice, and you should now have two voices in the project:
Now it's time to align the phrases with the underlying sound. Papagayo only displays the phrases and words for the currently selected voice (as shown in the voice list). Working first on the Ross voice, align the phrases to match up with the actual sounds. Ross speaks two separate lines, and they are quite spaced apart. His first line appears like this:
And his second line is way at the end of the audio:
Next, line up the phrase for the Chris voice. Chris has only one phrase, and it's in the middle of the sound clip:
Once you have the phrases lined up, you can go in and adjust the individual words that make up the phrases. Do this for each voice, just like you did in Tutorial 1.
Once the phrases and words are lined up for both voices, we can export the result and bring it into Moho. You have to export each voice as a separate switch data file for Moho to use. Select each voice and click the "Export Voice" button. Then, in Moho, load up two mouth switch layers, and assign one of the switch data files to each voice. Finally, assign the audio file as the project's soundtrack and play back the animation.
