Hello fellow programers! As many of you know, I am making a series of flash videos with a friend. He and I will provide voices for our cast of characters.

What I want to know is, how I will record sound for the videos, AND how to make my character's mouth move to the voice.

1: Microphone
2: Animate

It's that simple

Well, I was just making sure... Also, how much does a microphone run for?

Depends, $5 to $5000 I'd say.

Even a cheap microphone with some cotton to usually filter most sounds should do

Okay, I don't want to spend a lot of money, BUT I want good quality. Any recommendations?

hello gman
for voice syncing, i remember i saw a video that explained it well on newgrounds.
i cant find the exact link for you because i cannot access newgrounds on my computer ..but you can probably find it if you do a search there
and as for the mic, do you want a headset one or a desktop one?

I honestly don't know. Which one is better?

well, i would say, for your purposes, a headset one because it automatically maintains constant volume because it is at the same distance from your mouth all the time. also, if you have a desktop one, you would have to hunch over to speak into it if the wire was too short...and hunching over does a lot of bad stuff to you...

i think this one is good...

Okay, do you know where I could get one from a store? (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.)
