How do I turn off the voice animation when I speak on voice chat?

[Bahijah Bloodrose]

When I speak on voice chat, my avatar's arms fly through the air while I talk. is there anyway I can stop that from happening. I use firestorm and I love it so far. Please help me!

I would ask the inworld Phoenix/Firestorm user group.  Join it if you have not already.  They offer free classes and there are helpers in the group 24/7.

When you are voicing, your arms should not fly through the air.  If you have the typing animation on, you would see flapping hands but you say you are in voice.  Unless, of course, you are typing and voicing at the same time.

In Preferences (CTRL + P ) >> Sound & Media UNcheck Move avatar lips when speaking

ETA:  Ooops, wrong one (but that;'s a good one too.)  In Preferences >> Chat UNcheck Play Avatar Animations.
