Make an AVATAR that can speak different languages !!

Children will have fun creating an "alter ego" in www.voki.com that can say whatever they like with different accents and in different languages. The VOKIS can be animals, boys, girls, monsters, princesses, princes, kings, gansters, queens.... and they can be customized as children like with different clothes, sunglasses, hats, different shapes and colours of mouth and eyes, different backgrounds and the funniest thing is that they can speak as moving his lips.

As easy as to get registered in this page with a tutor´s mail and password and start creating your characters with different voices:
