Once you have configured the character's <u>**[Voice & Audio](docId\:YUAbkq0xH3ArXS_CSouk8)**</u> settings, you can define how the conversation should begin and how the AI character should respond. The **Settings** section lets you choose who speaks first, configure the character's opening message, and set the maximum response length for the simulation.
