How to Make Two Talking Skulls Talk to Each Other

FrightProps demonstrates how to make two animatronic talking skulls carry on a back-and-forth conversation by splitting a stereo audio track into its left and right channels and routing each channel independently to a separate skull. The technique relies on audio editing software to compose and pan dialogue, then standard audio cables to deliver each voice to the correct prop. The method is compatible with FrightProps standard, head-turn, and three-axis skull variants. The result is a convincing dual-skull dialogue scene requiring no specialized controllers beyond what the skulls already use.
