How to Create Talking Cartoons

From Tony Vincent:

There are lots of places online where visitors can sync their voices to an image with a moving mouth. It might seem kind of silly at first, but talking pictures can be a great way for students to share what they've learned.

• Blabberize - Upload a photo and select the mouth. Then record your voice.
• Gizmoz - Upload a photos and then select background and hair.
  • Kindergarten Animal Example
• Voki - Create a talking avatar.
  • Example: McCain/Obama Interview
• Xtranormal - Type what you want our characters to say.
  • Xtranormal Child Hunger example
