Your animated characters will read your dialogue accurately, but sometimes you may wish to adjust the timing or pronunciation. Here are a few tips:
Speed up or slow down the dialogue: You can add a pause to your lines of dialogue by inserting a comma, or breaking sentences into different dialogue items. (Note that if you add a period or question mark then the inflection may change.)
If you want your character to pronounce an unusual word, such as a made-up word or a product name, then you may need to experiment with the spelling to achieve the desired result. Start by spelling the word phonetically, or splitting it into multiple words.
Note that some voices have prerecorded phrases (e.g., “Ah hah!!” or “Amazing!”). These will vary by individual voice and/or language. See the full list of available exclamations on the Acapela Group’s website.
You can also add digital voice effects like coughing or laughter by inserting codes into your dialogue like #COUGH01# or #LAUGH01#. The range of sounds will vary by language. See the full list of vocal sound effects on the Acapela Group’s website. By pairing the voice effects with Plotagon’s animations, you can create realistic visual and audio combinations that will enrich your videos.
