Make Expressive avatars more expressive.

To help your Expressive avatar convey specific emotions through body language and intonation, here are some tips and tricks:

Use expressive words:

  • Enthusiasm/Positive: "Fantastic!", "Great job!", "Excited to learn today?"

  • Encouragement: "You're doing well!", "Keep it up!", "Almost there!"

  • Empathy: "I understand this can be challenging.", "It's okay to find this tricky.

  • Curiosity: "Have you wondered why...?", "What do you think about...?"

Use punctuation:

  • Exclamation: Use these to show excitement or urgency. "Well done!"

  • Question marks: Show curiosity or request feedback. "What are your thoughts?"

  • Ellipsis: Can create a pause for effect or indicate uncertainty. "And the answer is...?"

Leverage old school emoji:

  • Happy: ":)" or ":-)" can make the message seem friendly.

  • Sad: ":(" or ":-(" can express concern or disappointment.

Add pauses in your script:

  • Add small pauses to your script to mimic natural human intonation and give the listener time to absorb emotional content. A pause of around 0.1 seconds usually works well.


Notes:

  • Adding a smiley or frowning face to your script won’t automatically make the avatar smile or frown, but it can help indicate the intended tone of delivery.
