18. The method of claim 1 , comprising a second human subject and further comprising: assigning at least one second phrase to a stored video clip of the second subject; parsing the at least one second phrase to produce at least one phonetic clone of the at least one second phrase; associating the at least one phonetic clone of the at least one second phrase with the stored video clip of the second subject; receiving an utterance from the user; matching the utterance to the at least one phonetic clone of the second subject; comparing the match of the at least one phonetic clone of the second subject with the match of the at least one phonetic clone of the subject; and if the match of the at least one phonetic clone of the second subject is superior to the match of the at least one phonetic clone of the subject, displaying the stored video clip of the second subject associated with the at least one phonetic clone and not displaying the stored video clip of the subject.
1. A computer-implemented method of simulating interactive communication between a user and a human subject, comprising: assigning at least one phrase to a stored content sequence, wherein the content sequence comprises a content clip of the subject, the subject being a human recorded on video, the content clip including a contemporaneously-recorded head and mouth of the subject and contemporaneously-recorded audio of the subject, wherein the content clip is free of any superimposed facial features; parsing the at least one phrase to produce at least one phonetic clone; associating the at least one phonetic clone with the stored content sequence; creating a transition between the content clip and the second content sequence by frame-matching a frame of the stored content sequence, the content sequence including the human subject speaking, with a frame of a second content sequence, the frame-matching being performed with respect to the recorded video of the entire head and facial features of the human subject; receiving an utterance from the user; matching the utterance to the at least one phonetic clone; and in response to matching the utterance, displaying the stored content sequence associated with the at least one phonetic clone in succession with the second content sequence.
