WHY THIS?
I got frustrated using the vanilla phonemes to try and animate speaking in my animations because not only did...​

Here's some things I've found so far in my early testing of animating my own speaking animations up against real life speaking movements...

For the initial quick test using "The quick brown fox jumped..." example, I actually had a video of a woman speaking to test my animation keyframe to keyframe against:

1) The mouth moves very fast and not every letter spoken needs to be used individually.
2) +.1 second apart per keyframe (smooth) in a quick speaking example such as this.
3) For quick, the Q keyframe uses some of K and W combined - for brown, the BR keyframe using some of B and R combined - for the X in fox, the keyframe uses K/X and SS combined - for jumped, one keyframe combines M and P and D - hopefully you get the picture.
4) For more realism, get some Jaw: Left, Right & Forward pose morphs that are out there as well as some Mouth: Left and Right pose morphs. Combine with your favorite facial expressions as well as Brows and Eyes for some stunning results.
5) Have fun!
