i'm wondering how to create text above a character's head

I was wondering how to create floating text above a character’s head, so it looks like one is asking ‘which number’ for something, and the 7 characters to respond with identical responses of 2, and the other character with a different response of 1. I’d like to try this in the sequencer.

It is probably incredibly simple, I literally want the following to appear as text above their heads for a few seconds and then disappear

interviewer: which line
character 1: line 2
character 2: line 2
etc…until character 8
character 8: line 1

It’s a widget component:
