Abstract(in English) In this study, we propose a method of proactive utterance of foreign language in an RPG game that enables users to walk through a virtual space and to talk with some virtual characters. The proactivity of the user's utterance is determined by the change of loudness, pitch, and the intervals from the character's speeches.
