# Voice Support

Ren'Py includes support for adding voice acting to a game. This is done through two additional statements.

The `voice` "filename" statement plays the voice file given in filename.

The `voice sustain` statement continues playing the previous voice file.

A voice file is played at the start of the first interaction following a voice statement. It is terminated at the start of the next interaction, unless a `voice sustain` statement is given that continues playing it.

    voice "eileen1.ogg"
    e "I'm now saying something."

    "But she stopped saying it, because this statement started."

    voice "eileen2.ogg"
    e "Now I'm saying something else..."

    voice sustain
    e "And I'll keep saying it!"

Function Equivalents. There are two functions corresponding to the two voice statements.

Function: | voice | (filename):

Function: | voice_sustain | ():
