How to execute if else statement in for loop only once in while loop

Question

Good Morning, I am beginner in python language, I would to ask a question regarding on python code. Fyi, currently I am working on face recognition with voice. Currently my problem when i call get_frame() function. The speak.tts("your name"+name,lang) code executed repeatedly and non-stop. My question how i going to execute this only once when i call this function in my app.py and it's will not produce the voice repeatedly. Below I share my code, if you dont understand the code let's me know i will try the best to explain and maybe can add more details code. Hope some one can helps thanks.

app.py

def gen(camera):
    while True:
        frame = camera.get_frame()
        yield (b'--frame\r\n'
               b'Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n' + frame + b'\r\n\r\n')

camera.py

class VideoCamera:
    def __init__(self,app):
        self.known_encoding_faces = aface.known_encoding_faces
        self.user_id = aface.face_user_keys
        self.faces = []
        self.test = []
        self.video_capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
        self.face_user_keys = {}
        self.name_face()



    def get_frame(self):
        face_locations = []
        face_encodings = []
        face_names = []
        process_this_frame = True
        success, frame = self.video_capture.read()
        small_frame = cv2.resize(frame, (0, 0), fx=0.25, fy=0.25)
        rgb_small_frame = small_frame[:, :, ::-1]
        flag = False

        # Only process every other frame of video to save time
        if process_this_frame:
            # Find all the faces and face encodings in the current frame of video
            face_locations = face_recognition.face_locations(rgb_small_frame,number_of_times_to_upsample=2)
            #print(face_locations)
            face_encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(rgb_small_frame, face_locations)
            #print(face_encodings)
            if len(face_encodings) > 0:
                face_encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(rgb_small_frame, face_locations)[0]

                face_names = []
                for face_encoding in face_encodings:
                    # See if the face is a match for the known face(s)
                    matches = face_recognition.compare_faces(self.known_encoding_faces, face_encodings, tolerance=0.6)
                    #print(matches)
                    name = "Unknown"

                    # If a match was found in known_face_encodings, just use the first one.
                    if True in matches:
                        first_match_index = matches.index(True)
                        name = self.faces[first_match_index]['name']
                    face_names.append(name)
                    #print(face_names)



        process_this_frame = not process_this_frame

        # Display the results
        for (top, right, bottom, left), name in zip(face_locations, face_names):

            cv2.rectangle(frame, (left, top), (right, bottom), (0, 0, 255), 2)
            # Draw a label with a name below the face

            cv2.putText(frame, name, (left + 6, bottom - 6), font, 1.0, (255, 255, 255), 1)

                # subprocess.call(["ffplay", "-nodisp", "-autoexit", "tts.mp3"])
            if (val == 9):
                speak.tts("your name"+name,lang)
                break
        ret, jpeg = cv2.imencode('.jpg', frame)
        return jpeg.tobytes()
    def __del__(self):
        self.video_capture.release()

The best way seems to call get_frame() outside the loop. If you want to call get_frame() only once when calling the gen(camera) function, you should not put the call in the loop, as the loop will repeatedly execute its instructions.

def gen(camera):
    frame = camera.get_frame()
    while True:
        yield (b'--frame\r\n'
               b'Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n' + frame + b'\r\n\r\n')
