Lip Sync and Voices for Animation

Dim lights

Learn how to do the basics of lip sync for animation without paying for a sound program. Just watch the video above to learn how it's done.

The free program which works on PC's and Macs is JLipSync that you can find here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jlipsync/

The program JLipSync requires that you have JAVA installed on your computer. Download the proper JAVA package for free here:

To record your own voice to use in your animations, use the free program called Audacity from this link:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Just remember to record in 8 bit mono with 1 channel or it won't open in JLipSync.

UPDATE: For those looking for a more robust program which allows the importation of .MP3 files and others, check out Lip Sync Pro. A new program released by Stop Motion Pro that you can read more about here.

Lip sync guide
written by Don_Carlson, September 27, 2010

Here is an article I wrote for stopmotionanimation.com's handbook that might help visuals clay lip sync.

I find that filling in the back of the mouth in post can work, but with a caveat; if the mouth is left open for any amount of time, there should be black clay in there. Doing it in post only seems to work when the puppet opens his or her mouth briefly.

At any rate, most of those faces should be useful...
