lip-sync animation

Lip-sync animation involves making a character’s mouth move in sync with spoken words or sounds. Animators analyze speech patterns and match mouth shapes (called visemes) to the audio, creating the illusion that the character is talking naturally. This process can be done manually, frame by frame, or with the help of software that automatically matches mouth movements to sound. Lip-sync enhances realism and emotional connection in animations, helping characters appear more believable and engaging during dialogue scenes.
