I've always wanted to do something like a music video with Poser, but frankly, getting little things like a figure's mouth to move in time to the music has always intimidated me and kept me from even trying. That's along with the other thousands of things that intimidate me.  Does anyone know if Talk Designer recognizes music recording of some one singing or does it have to be spoken word only?

It would be interesting to see if someone who understands animation could do "Bohemian Rhapsody" using assorted characters including Toons.

Speech designer works best with an audio track containing the words, and a text file containing the actual words.

IMHO. the best results for a singing voice (and accompanying music) would be to record yourself speaking the word in time with the music. For a singing song, you may expect to say some words fast; and some slowly. Use that recording with Speech Designer. After everything is done, simply replace the new recording with the original audio file.

In addition, it is worth looking at the phonemes files, as they show which phones are associated. Then, when creating the text file for Speech Designer, it is possible to mis-spell words deliberately in order to allow for effect.

I would be interested what the OP finds.

Whilst an amusing idea, doing it to "Bohemian Rhapsody" would likely breach copyright.

Thank you, Timarender for the advice and info.

timarender, the Muppets did a few versions of Bohemian, but that was for sesame street and their own show, but you are probably right.  Still make a great undergound animation piece.

Damn, saw the title of this thread and was hoping Clarkie was about to sing for us!
