Dear Medhue, thank you for your quick reply.
I did make some speech gestures with DAZ 3d but found that operating myself and other's avatars like a puppet whilst looking good was a bit too complicated.
I work for a company that has many trainers who do speech presentations in SL so if you are able to create a few sets that contain simple head and hand movements triggered by the speech that would be awesome. I know you are a very creative and skilled SL animator so I am very excited by your offer. I will of course be able to pay for such a bespoke service.
Please let me know how you wish to proceed.
Warm regards, Clarity
