I don’t see anything on the Documentation regarding voice detection.  
I’ve seen game worlds stating that some creature could react to your voice, but I think… that’s not possible? Is there a workaround way to achieve this? or is it just a hoax?

I don’t believe there’s any way to detect player voice activity in Udon right now, but that’s a great idea!

> Issue: Currently it's not possible to react to a players voice at all. We don't know when someone is talking or how loud they are for example.
