Facilitating Dialogue Scenes

Is there a way for a GM to switch quickly from one NPC image to the next NPC image while speaking in a dialogue scene? I'm thinking of running a dinner scene and I need a quick way to show who's talking (without using all-text dialogue).

There is an API script that does this, but that requires a Pro subscription.
I use a macro for this and a bunch of tokens representing the "guests" at the table, select a token, hit the macro and speak or emote as that token.
Wait--macros aren't just for die rolls? What do you put in for your macro?
Maybe it's too late, is this what you wanted ? "Impersonate" macro: /as "@{selected|token_name}" "?{Message|}" - must be GM (/as command is reserved for GMs) - must configure a name for each token to be "impersonated" (you can use "character_name" instead of "token_name" but it will deserve game purpose if a guest have to lie about his or her true name...) - talking character will not be outlined on the VTT
