Solved Voice from mouth

[Mel]

Just wondering all you clever people out there, is there a way to make the sound,voice appear to be coming from the persons mouth, I am creating scenes based on singers past and present, and using audio files for songs, but when playing the scenes, the sound/songs appears from a different direction to the singer so spoils the immersion a little. Could I attach the sound file to the persons head. TIA

You can, but you also have the Head audio receiver for that purpose, and using Head Audio allows you to use Lip Sync (Auto Behaviours) to make the person really sing.

Thankyou for your quick response, but, to use the head audio reciever do I still need to set a audio trigger on the timeline, or a scene animation trigger, or can I set it all up from the head audio reciever tab, its just on the head audio tab, there is not an option to play now, on the add volume action ie Reciever atom (Person) Reciever (Head audio souce) Reciever Target no option to play now ? TIA

Yes, you need a trigger for playing a sound on any receiver, unless you use a plugin that does that for you, like Audiomate for example.

The trigger system is the same everywhere, doesn't matter if it's set in Timeline, buttons, plugins, pick whatever you want.

Taken from the FAQ:

Essentially you want to trigger playing a sound in some type of receiver.
Example trigger for a AudioSource atom:

• Receiver Atom: Audio Source
• Receiver: Audio Source
• Receiver Target: Play (multiple options)

Example trigger for a Person atom:

• Receiver Atom: Person
• Receiver: Head Audio
• Receiver Target: Play (multiple options)

Question - how to add sound to a scene?

I add an audio source to a scene right but I dont see how I can link to the mp3 file I want it to play. I feel like this is probably SUPER simple but I cant find an answer.

VaM 1.22: the new built-in lip sync is in the auto-behaviours tab and the audio receiver is the person's head audio.
