Lip Syncing is a great way to add a touch of realism to your Powtoon, along with adding a fresh and exciting feel to your characters. Lip Syncing will create engagement with your audience, as your animated character will give the impression of directly interacting with the audience.
Certain Powtoon characters can now be synced with individual audio tracks, giving the impression that that character is speaking in sync with the audio track.
This process is called Lip-Syncing.
