I am new to CrazyTalks animator pro 2.  i have 2 actors and i am recording the audio on audacity and then importing the script into my scene.  for some reason when i get to the end of the scene no matter what actor I click on to say the script it has both of my actors saying the script or at least both actors mouths are moving.  How to I correct this so only the actor who is supposed to be speaking has his mouth moving during the script.  I am using the common folk actors with heads i imported in 

I am also having problems when i import a script and then when i do some of the facial animation like an angry face for some reason it goes over my audio clip and then cut out my audio.

Lastly how do you turn off the word the 2g actors like say when i import one of their pre-generated moves.

Wish I could be more helpful.  I use iClone and am not familiar with work flows in Crazy Talk.

Ideally, you should just be able to import your recorded audio dialogue, arrange those audio clips in a timeline related to a specific character, complete your animation, and export your scene.  

Suggestions:

1) Check your timeline to make sure your audio clips are not playing simultaneously.  
2) Make sure you haven't accidentally recorded key frames.  Get rid of any unwanted key frames to clean up your animation.

Hope that helps!

You actor should only speak to the voice clip in that actors voice clip track.
Make sure your voices are in separate recordings, not the same one placed in both actors track (although it can be done but more work).
Facial mouth sprite changes (i.e. angry) override the lip phonemes. You must release the mouth sprite before the lip phonemes will be active again.
Loop in the actors Face tab and expand the Voice track. There you will see the Lip phonemes where you can move, delete, and add the lip phonemes.
Under the Face motion track select the Mouth option to show the mouth sprite (Mouth_S) changes that might be overriding your lip phonemes.

Jeff thanks for your help,

the 1st wav file for my actor I have imported is part of a song that I clipped out the begging & the end & had the actor singing the lyrics in the middle.  Could this be causing the problem? 

I am importing separate voice wav files for my actors.  I click on the actor, I click on the voice record tab, then I import the pre-recorded wav file for the actor to say.  I then do the same thing for the other actor obviously on a separate wav file import.

part way through the scene I have the music stop & that's when both actors lips are tracking to my imported wav files.   

Yesterday I added a custom actor towards the end of my scene and when I imported the wav file for that actor it did not move his lips at all it & the lips of my 1st actor moved his lips even though I had clicked on the newest actor for the import.

That sounds strange.
One voice clip should not interact with another actor.

Did you check the Lips track to see if there was anything there for the actor that should not be talking?
If not and the lips are moving then I would put in a  Support Ticket.
If there are, delete them and see what happens.

Without seeing the project it's hard to discern what is happening.
