Get a Voki now!
Meet my new Voki, Roberta . . . She's wondering if blondes really do have more fun.
Each of you will be creating your own Avatar. Before creating your Avatar you need to decide what your Advatar 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 Advatar
Go to http://www.voki.com/, sign up and have fun creating your Advatar.

Making this avatar was an interesting experience. It was fun, but I didn’t have any trouble making my avatar, it was pretty easy. This avatar could be use to give a message to someone verbally.
ReplyDeleteMaking an Advatar was actually quite fun. The most difficult part of creating the character was figuring out what I should make him say. This Advatar could be used in many different ways, perhaps to advertise for your business, support your team or school, or to convey any message or motto of yours.
ReplyDeleteMy experience with creating a voki was really good. I had a lot of fun crating this and it was a really easy thing to do. It was really fun and it was a very easy grade. I had trouble with picking something to say. My Avatar could be used to give other people messages.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience of making an Advatar was very interseting I would say. It was alot of fun making this character. I did not have any trouble making it because I created it from my imagination. You could use this Advatar to talk to people anywhere.
ReplyDeleteMaking a avatar on voki was pretty fun and easy to do. The only thing that was hard to do was trying to figure out what to say for the recording other than that it was really fun
ReplyDeleteI have to be honest I had no trouble whatsoever in making the avatar. I didnt even have trouble deciding on what to say ,but when you acctuall turn the microphone on its awkward . Almost like the whole world stopped what they were doing to stop and watch you record your avatars saying. I dont really think they have a practical use either with all the other internet recources its just another of one of the numerous ways of communication through our ever expanding technology.
ReplyDeleteMaking the Avatar was very fun. I only had problems creating at the voice. Other than that, everything went smooth. This avatar could be used for many things. Like MySpace, Email, ect. To give off more information, and a visual (if you do not have a picture) of yourself.

I had lots of fun making my avatar. It was so funny to hear all the peoples voices and how they put effects. The trouble I had was putting the sound on my avatar. I couldn't upload it to my avatar. But at the end I figured it all out.
