    Proper lip sync isn’t about assigning different mouth shapes for every sound we hear in the dialogue. Instead, some less-important mouth shapes should be “phrased”. For example, if we are saying “hello”, the mouth should go from “eh” to “oh”, without a “l” shape in the middle (the “l” is phrased). Just look at yourself in the mirror saying “hello”.
    Richard Williams -the genius behind “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”- explains this marvelously in his “Animator’s Survival Kit – Animated” lectures.
