Hi @Momo2023 ,

Here are two options you may want to try:

1. Add the “pxt-billy” extension, which is for generating speech/voice:  
a. Open a new project.  
b. Click on the +Extension  
c. Paste in the URL: [https://github.com/adamish/pxt-billy](https://github.com/adamish/pxt-billy) , hit Enter, and select the “Billy” tile to add it.  
d. Play with it…There may be some combination of voice settings and pronunciations that sound animal-like.

The Billy extension doesn’t have a traditional set of “Help” pages like other blocks, but there is a README that describes what the blocks do and how they work (and provides links to further descriptions) here: [https://github.com/adamish/pxt-billy/blob/develop/README.md](https://github.com/adamish/pxt-billy/blob/develop/README.md) . Here’s an example project: [https://makecode.microbit.org/\_JyCdYrVTM9c2](https://makecode.microbit.org/_JyCdYrVTM9c2)

1. If you’re working with a micro:bit v2, you can try recording sounds:  
a. Open the Beta version of the editor: [https://makecode.microbit.org/beta](https://makecode.microbit.org/beta)  
b. Click on “+Extension” and add the “audio-recording” extension  
c. Use the blocks in the “Record” toolbox to record and play sound back.

Good luck!
