Voki

This Web 2.0 tool of Voki enables users to express themselves on the web in their own voice using a talking character. Just like creating a Wii character, you can customize your Voki to look like you or take on the identity of lots of other types of characters… animals, monsters, anime etc. The best part of the  Voki is that it can speak with your own voice which is added via microphone, uploaded, or phoned.
