Get a Voki now!
Meet my new Voki, Roberta . . . She's wondering if blonds really do have more fun.
Each of you will be creating your own Avatar. Before creating your Avatar you need to decide what your Avatar will say and record the voice. It should be no less than 20 seconds long. It could be a greeting, a famous quote, or rooting on your beloved team.
To record voice - you'll need a microphone and script, what you want to say. Keep in mind the quality of your voice when recording. Your voice should sound natural, like you would really talk. Your voice should not sound like you are reading from a script - it should be animated, having some inflection.
When your script is ready - practice out loud 2 or 3 times before recording. When you have practiced and you are ready to begin follow the following steps:
1. Plug microphone in
2. With your mouse, select start / accessories / entertainment / sound recording
3. Select red button to record
4. play back, if you like it, save it to your P drive under project folder
5. If you don't like it, select file new, don't save, and record again.
6. Once your recording is completed and you have saved it to your P drive, you are ready to make your Voki Avatar
Go to http://www.voki.com/, sign up and have fun creating your Avatar.

I enjoyed making my avatar! I't was easy and humerous :) I might post one later to facebook just to see the different ways I can use this tool! But overall, this is a fun program...I give props to the creater! haha
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and silly and this could be used for projects and stuff.

The Voki, in my opinion, was pointless. I learned nothing that I need in making it. It can’t be used for much of anything, other than entertainment because you can’t put that much typing in to the voice thing. I didn’t use my own voice for personal reason. I had trouble with nothing, this was simple.
ReplyDeletei liked voki. i think that it was fun with all the diffrent choices they have. i did have some trouble with the voice recording though. other than that it was simple and fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments.
