But, you won’t necessarily type-out the words as they are normally written instead, write them the way they are to be spoken by the device. Write your script to beĪs far as the script is concerned this is best typed into either a word processor or notepad. To sum up you need MMD to make the main animation and MOGG Face and Lips for making the lip sync (or you can do this manually in MMD also).

So what will you need to do a talking animation?Ĭreating the motion and lip sync for a speech animation uses exactly the same software as other MMD animation projects and these are covered in articles elsewhere.

Use a speech synthesizer and that’s what we will discuss in this article as it is relatively easy and cheap to do.

Also, the logistics of using this method can be difficult to organize. Apart from anything else, the voice actor needs to be able to “act”. This is probably the best method but the problem is finding someone that you can trust to do a proper job and this can be really hard.

Have someone do the voice acting for you.

There’s tons of these types of animations on YouTube but they all tend to use speech clips from TV programs or movies… which is fine if you just want to make a parody, as many people do.īut what if you want “original” speech to make them say exactly what you want? For example they can tell jokes or act in drama animations. So why would you want your Vocaloid to be able to talk? Well, there’s tons of things you can do with them if you can make them talk. Speech Synthesizer gives MMD Models a voice! But it is designed specifically for singing rather than for speaking… and on top of that, since almost all Vocaloid software is made in Japan to sing in Japanese, it is not readily applicable for use in English speech applications!īy speech here, I mean “talking”… Making your Vocaloid software is basically a speech synthesis application. How do I make my Vocaloid model talk instead of sing? Where can I get a speech synthesizer to read my script? How can I give a voice to my MMD model?
