'''Speech''' is a feature currently undergoing testing in the game, although [[Update:RuneScape Voice-Acting Competition|Jagex has stated]] they plan on adding more to the game. Most often speech is used alongside text in the [[chatbox]], such as when talking to an NPC, or the text that an NPC 'says' above their head, although it has been used in the cutscenes of the member's tutorial. It was first introduced in-game on [[21 April]] [[2010]] in the update [[Update:Slayer Challenges|Slayer Challenges]], when voices where added to the (former) tutorial, [[Unstable Foundations]]. You can hear [[Sir Vant]], a [[goblin]] and several other NPCs talk, along with the player.

The intention of [[Unstable Foundations]] was to receive player feedback based on the voices in the tutorial and expand speech to a certain amount of the game based on how players reacted to the update.<ref name:"Developer Blog">{{cite web| title = Look Who's Talking | url = http://services.runescape.com/m=devblog/view_post.ws?post_id=93}}</ref> The response to the voices in the tutorial have been fairly positive.

Due to positive feedback from the community, Jagex implemented voices to the release of the [[Troll Warzone|member's tutorial]]. At the time of release, voices were only heard in cutscenes during the tutorial. However, at a [[28 February|later date]], most of the [[npcs]] found in the tutorial area were given a voice, which was the largest range of voices added at once. Among these added voices, two of the featured voices were those of the [[Update:Wounded Soldiers, Strict Nurses and Voice-Acting Winners|voice-acting contest winners]], [[Wounded Soldier|Falcon zb]] and [[Nurse|CielFury]], who are also the first members of the RuneScape [[community]] to feature in [[RuneScape|the game]] or in the [http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Troll_Warzone_Credits official credits on the website].

==Trivia==

*Players also had a voice during the tutorial, which changed depending if the character was male or female. This has now been removed by Jagex. However, whenever your character is injured in the regular game you will hear an audible "augh". The same is also true when you do damage to a [[man]] or [[woman]].
*With the release of the [[Ancient Prison]], [[Nex]] is capable of speech, and was the voice that players heard when trying to open the [[frozen door]] prior to the release.
*As of [[10 January]] [[2011]], all [[God Wars Dungeon]] bosses now have speech.
*The release of [[One Piercing Note]] introduced full voice acting for a quest. The quest along with its audio has been very well-received by players, and Jagex now has plans to introduce more voice acting in future content.[[File:ModLordPost.png|thumb|A [[Jagex Moderator]] comments on the use of Speech.]]
*In early 2011, a poll was released to see if players would like voice chat for players to allow them to communicate with other players over a microphone. Although the results were mostly positive, no info has been heard about this actually being implemented into the game.
