# Activating Lip-sync Control

> Let your AI Self lip-sync to your voice in real-time.

## Enabling Lip-sync Control for Each Look

![activatinglipsync\_01.png](https://mintcdn.com/pickle/H3XdjHDn7sCvZVKP/images/activatinglipsync_01.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=H3XdjHDn7sCvZVKP\&q=85\&s=eb62f682f725b657ee908cff747e2eaf)

every newly created look needs require a one-time lip-sync activation before lip-sync control can be used. This activation begins automatically when the look is created and takes about **1 hour**.

## After Activation: Start Lip-sync Control

Once activation is completed:

### Step 1: Initiating Lip-Sync

* Click **Start Lip-Sync Control** to enable synchronization. It will take **7-8 seconds**.
* **Allow microphone permission** when prompted.

### Step 2: Enable Voice Isolation

Enable the Voice Isolation setting to ensure clear audio input. This is one-time setup, so you don't need to enable everytime you open the app. For details, see [What is Voice Isolation](https://pickle.mintlify.site/getstarted/activatinglipsync.md#what-is-voice-isolation%3F) below.

### Step 3: Using Lip-sync

![activatinglipsync\_04.png](https://mintcdn.com/pickle/H3XdjHDn7sCvZVKP/images/activatinglipsync_04.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=H3XdjHDn7sCvZVKP\&q=85\&s=2c0eeec1f60dd8732db612b89d45a2db)

Once started, speak into your microphone. Your AI Self will mirror your mouth movements with less than a 1-second delay.

> Click the microphone itself to temporarily stop lip-sync input. When blocked, **your AI Self will stay mouth closed**.

>
> You can stop lip-sync at any time. The activation remains with the look, allowing you to resume lip-sync control whenever you wish.

## Pickle Delayed Voice for Lip-sync

This is for when you try to stream your AI Self into other apps like Zoom. It is an audio stream that has exactly same 0.5s delay with your AI Self View when you're using lip-sync control. For a detailed explanation, see [Stream to Other Apps](https://pickle.mintlify.app/getstarted/streamtootherapps).

## Voice Isolation

Voice Isolation prevents your microphone from capturing opponent's speaking audio. Effective when using built-in microphones (e.g., MacBook Pro Microphone) instead of earbuds. This setting is saved, so you don't need to enable it every time.

To activate,

1. Click on **orange  icon** on the top menu bar when lip-sync is on.
2. Click '**Mic Mode**' and select '**Voice Isolation**'.
