Lip Sync a Group of Characters

I use AS8.2 Pro. I want a group of characters to speak the same dialogue simultaneously. I've tried adding my audio file to more than one character but only one appears to speak.

Is the best way to tackle this problem, to add the audio file to one character only, and then match the mouth positions in all the other characters ?

My goodness. I seem to have answered my own question! I had forgotten to set the Layer Settings on my second character's Mouth Layer.

Layer Settings > Switch > Select audio sync source > to my audio file. All's well that ends well I suppose.

My next problem may be getting two characters to hold a conversation.....

if you want to just use one audio you can make all the characters lip sync all of it then go back and delete the key points of the characters that should be quiet at that time. You will have to manually go through each character and set hold keys so the characters that are quiet will have closed mouths.

I was thinking you had audio of a bunch of people talking at once. That would be a problem.
