"Speaker has no bark UI" Error

Hi! I ran into a weird error the other day that's been driving me up a wall.

I'm changing from using a mixamo model to a different model. I set the old one up to have the exact same components as the old one but barks are not triggering, instead they throw this error for the new model.

I changed all the in scene dependencies to refer to the new player, and the barks work fine when the old player is dragged in and the barker is set to the old player, but despite having the Bubble UI component as a child and a Bark Dialogue UI component attached, it still gives me this error. I feel like I might be missing something silly. Here's the inspector for the new character just in case.

Hi,

Which bubble UI is a child of the Character GameObject? Make sure "Bubble Template Standard Bark UI" (or any UI with a StandardBarkUI component) is a child. It's fine to also have a subtitle panel as a child such as "Bubble Template Standard UI Subtitle Panel". Since Character has a Dialogue Actor, to avoid ambiguity assign those child(ren) to the Dialogue Actor, too.
