oh man i just recently learned on my own to have each mouth shape for two frames to make it look better im not a huge fan of puppets so i end up redrawing mouths every time

[@PikaPetey]

Yeah I focus on the acting. But I tend to take it one step further and where each character has their own SPECIFIC SET OF RULES for how they will move and turn and act. An angry flamboyant character acts and moves very differently from an angry shy-introvert character. One flails and exaggerates their expression shouting while the later sits and sulks.

[@DeadlyComicsYT]

You da master of mouth master

[@PikaPetey]

***** im also the master of getting nothing done on time.

[@CrownePrince]

Crap, I forgot to mention that. Specific rules that define the character. Oh well, another time!

[@CrownePrince]

Yeah, don't you have a work animation and a personal animation due soon? Now? Something like that.

[@leda2760]

+Crowne Prince i do😋 but watching your videos is sometimes more inetresting!

[@ThePetiteGamer]

I would love to start animating actually. I have too much free time on my hand and not much to do.

[@RaccoonRezillo]

Please do if you have the time and have passion for it! :) You never know if later in life you could lose all that time and wish you had it back. Is my advise :)

[@ThePetiteGamer]

I'm gonna be able to afford flash later on this year so I can indeed follow through :) I enjoy drawing as it is, so this might start another hobby. I've tried gimp and that program is not my favorite otherwise i'd try it again.

[@RaccoonRezillo]

Purplechu I was told Krita is a good free 2D program to use which sometime I perhaps should try myself however I don't do lot of 2D :/

[@ThePetiteGamer]

I'm actually following the twitter page. So i'll have to give that a try. Does it have tablet support and workable layers and all that fun stuff?

[@RaccoonRezillo]

Purplechu well anything that just uses a mouse would use a tablet I'm sure and I imagine it uses layers saying I hear they put animation frames in it. However I haven't tried myself so wouldn't be sure myself because I also used Gimp :)

[@endmymisery_]

I like how their character is randomly on the beach.

[@Viva_Reverie]

I know it's not good animation etiquette, but I completely ignore the "Leave each keyframe of mouth visible for more than one frame" rule. I like making sure every distinct mouth position is included in every sentence, so no matter how fast a character says "The" there will always be at least one "TH" mouth frame.

[@CrownePrince]

I don't follow it either, but that's because I sync with one's on occasion, and like you I'm paying attention for those distinct sounds.

[@SnowFox-gv2rn]

I remember I was watching the anime “Soul Eater” with my brother and his girlfriend at the time, and one character always has earbuds on at full blast and can’t hear anything. Apparently the character can still understand people by reading their lips. Then I said, “How can you do that if your mouths just open and close?” My brother and gf were dying with laughter!

[@hagayui]

The mouth position in Japanese animations, especially when the character is still and talking in an average tempo, is a bit easier because of the need for only three mouth positions. The A sound = Open mouth The E/I sound = Stretched mouth The O/U sound = Rounded mouth

[@hyeuji]

Thx dor the tips !

[@nightingale3847]

And the closed mouth

[@DigitalDesignDude]

Thank you! I recall reading in an animation book years ago that anime just uses mouth shapes for vowels but I couldn't remember which vowels.

[@el-jk7pg]

A good way is to record your mouth while saying the lines then go through it slowly so you can get the right shape.

[@Pearl1010]

Nice pfp

[@bluewolf7o321]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="166">2:46</a> I think this style of snoot on your character looks a lil better than the old one

[@missingcoffee1553]

And then the lowest level of speaking is the way I do it. The mouth doesn't move and just is open if the character is talking and isn't if their not

[@darkrosemelancholy6740]

I really wish I didn't move because of my previous teacher, she's deaf and the reason she can teach is because she can look at your lip and see what your saying. I could ask her and say: what is this character saying? It'd help me so much to see my mistakes. ;-;

[@kakao-katze]

I self taught myself lip syncing, but I probably should get more info (And I think I started in between typical mouth and mouth master😕 I pushed myself...) Edit: 20 likes?... Why?

[@obsidian111]

Magic The Cat same

[@bigyeetmydudes5005]

Yeah, I taught myself lipsync, too. I started somewhere between the anime mouth and the cartoon mouth. Though, I'm slowly climbing up into mouth master. One sec, I'll give an example of my first time lipsyncing.

[@davethewave2197]

Yeah same with me. Still need a voice ?

[@skellybird8697]

Can I (try) too help with the animation once i get a little better

[@foxpon3759]

That was probably the cutest episode I've ever seen. All because I love lip sinking. It makes a more realistic animation style, but it's also because I watch peoples mouths when they talk because I listen to loud music and stunted my hearing. Kinda developed a fetish four mouth movement.

[@kairon156]

As someone who watches lots of cartoons and anime, lip movement is something I do notice and wondered about over the years. Thanks for answering what sort of work goes into that process.

[@Starimus]

This is by far the best lip sync tutorial I've seen, I will definitely come back multiple times!

[@AntonymofBright]

Heyo! This was a nice and helpful video, so thanks for making this! As a random little note from me, I typically add “cushion” frames when a wide, open mouth shape transitions into a shape where the teeth are together. What I mean by “cushion” is a shape where the lower jaw is very slightly higher than the previous frame to make it look less unnaturally sharp while still giving it a crisp feel. Just a random thing my animation teacher taught me

[@fenrir-art4742]

Thank you. I am working on my movie and making sure I keep pace with my characters' lip syncing. I like your art.

[@pepperxs]

This is my #1 favorite lip sync tutorial!

[@princess_fwog1462]

Wow this is going to help me so much! I hope that I can work my way up slowly to the last mouth animate

[@WonderWarrior238]

Niiiiiice! I animate lipsync somewhere in between typical cartoon animation and "Mouth Master" animation, as you called it, because I do everything by hand. I may have just started a year ago, but I'm animating a series so I need this. Thank you!

[@jojo-oi7up]

Thank you! This really is going to help me in the future for lip syncing, keep it up!

[@nathancole3145]

I'm so glad you did a lip sync with an animal character. Good to know that you have to make a new entire new muzzle for each phoneme.

[@KrystalFairyFriend]

Thank you so much! I already knew about lip sync because I worked with puppets but I wasn't sure how to do it on animation. This helps greatly!!

Ahhhhhh ty so much for a feral lip sync video it took me forever to find one!

[@burgersfrompigs]

I think its best to make a new mouth shape every time because that way you have a lot more control and can do facial expressions easier

[@Raenbie]

This was really helpful! Thanks!

[@RaccoonRezillo]

Great explaining about lip-syncing :) I guess I best understand mouth master. For one I animate 3D, which I guess could save key frames of shapes and use that like the typical cartoon style but I like going for the best quality which I will say I actually block out the mouth rough shapes first when I animate to dialog. Than just like 2D having to hand draw the whole face expressions with the lip-sync I do in 3D :) always wonder if anyone else would understand 3D as well or am I just the only one here that does?

[@willows_millow9669]

I lip sync in a style in between cheap anime and typical cartoon. I just listen to the audio, mouth it in the mirror, and draw it.

[@CaitKat]

I do the latter most of the time, but i do edit and tweak some of the same frame. I will for example draw the top half of the muzzle, and for each frame draw the bottom jaw only individually
