Why the current behaviour (animation (AnimateItem) starts after the Alexa speech) should be changed:
-As long as the animation is playing the user cannot directly interact with Alexa, only if the user use the activation word he can interact again with Alexa, this could be confusing.
-If the animation is more like a bonus or a visualisation to the Alexa speech it should start directly with the response.
Solutions:
-Set the animation to start with the response and not after the Alexa speech
-Give developers two options, "start with response" or "start after alexa speech"
-Separate the animation from the normal speech behaviour, so that it is really just a background animation -> so I can run a full loop animation from speech to reprompt to quit skill because no answer from the user
-Give the option to interrupt the animation with a normal interaction or with the activation word interaction
