I highly recommend watching all of these sites on PC or in desktop mode if you are here via phones or tablet devices.
Lip Syncing
Lip sync or lip synch (short for lip synchronization) is a technical term for matching a speaking or singing person's lip movements with sung or spoken vocals.
Audio for lip syncing is generated through the sound reinforcement system in a live performance or via television, computer, cinema speakers, or other forms of audio output. The term can refer to any of a number of different techniques and processes, in the context of live performances and audiovisual recordings.
In film production, lip-synching is often part of the postproduction phase. Dubbing foreign-language films and making animated characters appear to speak both require elaborate lip-synching. Many video games make extensive use of lip-synched sound files to create an immersive environment in which on-screen characters appear to be speaking. In the music industry, lip-synching is used by singers for music videos, television and film appearances and some types of live performances. Lip-synching by singers can be controversial to fans attending concert performances who expect to view a live performance.
This task was very exciting and I think I did a good job. It is really interesting to see how understanding of the mouth shapes can bring characters to life. I did this animation in YouCut application where I put the pictures I drew in Ibis Paint X application.
When I was doing my research, I used to pay more attention to how people speak and realised we all have a very unique way of speaking. Our mouth can move more on the left side than on the right side or opposite. I would like to try that in Maya and see if I can create something that looks natural.
I decided to add more thumbnails and my character also blinks :) I edited in Wondershare filmora and also added text.
Introduction to Maya

I had to work with the same character, because I tried to use Gwen from Spiderman, however my PC froze and I lost everything, so I did not want to risk it twice. I added a head bump and his character is also leaning to sides little. He is walking is a more manly way with spread legs.
