Mouth Action in Animation

This text discusses the importance of mouth action in animation. The author explains that animators need to understand the phonetics of speech in order to create realistic lip sync. They also need to be aware of the different ways that sounds are formed in the mouth, as this will affect how they animate the character’s lips.

Here are some of the key points from the text:

• The three main components of mouth action in animation are: (1) the shape of the lips, (2) the position of the tongue, and (3) the movement of the jaw.
• Sounds can be formed in the mouth in a variety of ways, including: (1) by constricting the vocal cords, (2) by blocking the airflow through the mouth, and (3) by vibrating the lips or tongue.
• Animators can use phonetics to create realistic lip sync by paying attention to the way that different sounds are formed in the mouth.
