  Thanks for the report.

  When you say "assigning the voice line", do you mean from within the Speech Action, or is the prefab itself having its own data amended?

  If the former, that's intended. The prefab itself shouldn't be getting modified, but AC will allow a non-present prefab to be used as a speaker (to allow for e.g. off-screen characters to speak without needing to go through the hassle of spawning them).

  If your character is present in each scene, though, is it possible to spawn them just once when the game begins, marking them as persistent with the "Survive Scene Changes" component?

  You can run a single Object: Add or remove Action when the game is run by defining a Scene / Begin game event in the Events Editor.

  'Survive screen changes' wasn't really as elegant a solution as just having an Action Asset that creates the character called from OnStart, tbh, so I went with that! Means I am actively creating on scenes where I need her, rather than actively destroying/ recreating on scenes I don't, which feels cleaner?

  As to the bug: yes, the prefab itself is getting amended. The assigned voice clip ("Character1234") is assigned to the AudioSource's AudioClip parameter in the prefab itself, and stays there. Seems to be consistent in builds and editor, as well?

  Gotcha - thanks, I'll look into this.

  Would you mind testing a fix?

  To do so, open up AC's Speech script and look for the AssignAudioClip function around line 1634.

  Within, replace the line:

  if (speaker.speechAudioSource)
  

  with:

  if (!speaker.gameObject.activeInHierarchy)
  {
      ACDebug.LogWarning ("Cannt assign speech audio to " + speaker.name + " because they are not active within the scene.", speaker);
  }
  else if (speaker.speechAudioSource)
  

  Does that resolve it?

  Hello! Sorry, I forgot all about this. Ran a test this end and it seems to work, as far as I can tell
