When you said talk without your tongue and you can't watch VeggieTale animations they used a lot of audio from stuff. They know people know of and yet they don't have tongues like they do everything with their mouths and what is VeggieTales you may ask search it up I'll give you a a couple boy the history Street a guy that was out on money and wanted to make a CGI thing in 19 that needed to because he had a what he barely had food and he had a kid coming so he got two and three animators himself Crystal and Robert Ellis then starts and then started animating on one computer and then when it was released the critics and kids and pretty much parents loved it they said the thing was clever despite the animation looking very weird and your outdated did because it was in 1993 but look at the second episode and look at the 2010 and episode that was I think I made an August I guess you can tell they didn't really actually the second one yes was a success but the animation was a lot more rubbery and there's a lot more animation errors because it was made in the 90s and he's pretty much every 90s episode had at least like 15 animation errors except the ones after and it's a Christian show so watch it you might be seeing that well they don't use their tongues what and they don't and the voice actors is just the creators it's like the wife of the guy that created the show voice of a character that had a hat and had one of the most annoying voices on the planet Earth when you hear it it's in the episode it also so don't use your tongue White I want to has made back then they didn't know how to animate limbs so anime one with so that the anime Limitless vegetables dang that's what you only see their tongue for example the first time you've probably ever see their tongue is in a segment that is that is a reoccurring segment name silly songs with Larry I think someone 2014 silly song where you get to see a tongue okay not really a tongue it's technically About Pets and also their animation could be low budget and it kind of is firstly when they were making their first movie in 2002 they said we thought of Noah's Ark but the fur would have killed us but firstly can you look at your episode Madame Blueberry or God wants me to forgive them from the second episode there were characters with hair the harridan look like hair just looks like Blobs of things that go in your head or like a plastic hair thing but there you go they don't use tongues even though some of them have a lisp they don't use tongues do a couple characters that have stairs types like a old man and a black stereotype your type and technically British stereotype though their British accent sounds funny at the second character the first character that was made for the show before the show started which was you know a cucumber and guess what his name was Mister cute when he first was a thing and then his name came to Larry
This is RUclips gold for beginning character animators. I have books by traditional 2D animator Preston Blair about this kind of thing, but you learn so much more from a video.
@@reginaldforthright805 Bah! Humbug! The best way to learn animation is to sit in caves in the south of France and stare at the little horsie drawings.
13:50-22:00 THIS!~ This is the stuff i needed to know. So now i know i've been messing up the B/P sounds by copying the shape list without knowing what it means. Understanding you can setup for some sounds but have sounds that happen on the open is so very important! Im not sure why i didnt figure this out while actually doing the mouth shapes for the words.
I liked you disclaimer for the 4 components of language, as they are more the visible facial elements of language. You mention how a B is a burst of of air, compared to m, but neither are plosives. B and P are the same with P being the plosive (I have my students hold a piece of their hand in front of the mouth and go B, then P), B and P are both opening the mouth and m is closed and voiced. Z and S are the same shape, but S is unvoiced and Z is voiced (a tone is created in the vocal chords). So from and animators point of view, plosives and non plosives are animated the same, and voiced and unvoiced are animated the same. For voiced and unvoiced, put 2 fingers on you Adams apple and feel if it vibrate. Z and S for example or G , CH and SH
hey, this is a great video, but what what if you have a character that has no mouth? (zooble from TADC is the best example i can think of rn) what would you add to the animation to make it clear that *that* character is speaking? i'd love to see a video on how to make characters with very limited facial features expressive and fun (both to watch and to animate).
I love all the little examples sprinkled throughout, it makes it understandable and it’s like a visual example of what you mean. (as a visual learner, thank you!)
Thank you for sharing such valuable techniques and parts of workflow. They are useful not just for beginners but for the more advanced artists also. And regardless of any technique or software, understanding (of what you are doing) is the key. And you have explained everything in a very simple manner.
Hi, I am no animator at all but always enjoy your videos (even quite theoretical like this one). I would have love to have more example to compare the weirdness of missing stuff or impacts: - lets go with or without a hard t - mum with or without the Jaw/lip sync - a sentence with or without tongue animation - ... Of course this probably requires more time, but lets face it : you are organic, and even when you lock some part of your face it is still a plausible animation of your own face :p (having those example would help evaluate the gain of each improvement, and decide whether it worse the investment for a specific shot.
In old times the rigs were very heavy so we animated the mouths first as they were independant from interaction for the most part, unlike eyes looking, or body moving, this also helped with overall timing
Fantastic video! Just what I needed. Thank you :) Is there a guide for poses which you can recommend? Where we can see the main sounds and use it as a starting point? Thanks
thank you so much for this video it's fantastic and very explicative I really enjoy the details that you are mentioning. i will focus on them in my future works ^^
This was super insightful! Quick question: how long did it take you to animate any of the transition examples? For example, the "War... War never changes" or the "So, it's treason then"? I have a lip-sync assignment coming up with dialogue of a similar length so just curious how long it would take a professional animator and to get a better understanding of what I should be aiming for! Thanks!
They were pretty quick, I think the 'War' one was like 2 hours, and the rest were between 20min and 4 hours. 'Whoa Yo' was like 20min haha, the rest were longer. But none of them are polished, either.
Thanks for the guidance. You have shared really useful tips. Still I would like to ask one thing; characterization! To have consistency through out a film for the talking style of a character, I understand that studios relies on some famous artists to be voice actors for the characters in that film. RUclips shows many 'behind the scene' videos of Disney and Dreams Works studios. My question is that in such cases, whether animators consider the voice artist's action as a reference for animating the lip sync or will they have any other character design directions from the director of the film, that the character should be animated in a particular way while speaking some words or letters ?
Sometimes production will get permission to film the actors, not sure if that's always guaranteed, but animators can sometimes request the reference if they do want to include things from the original performance! But usually it's not the go-to; reference is done by the animators and those characterization elements are sometimes added as a polish-y bit. But that's why there are character leads and supervisors, to keep things consistent and make sure the character's quirks are weaved throughout the performances, whether or not they originated from the actor.
Hi! Love your videos! Since you're already a freelancer, can you make a video about freelancing? Like, where to start, how to attract clients and how to calculate your work rate? What is the standard price for freelancing animators considering all factors. Thanks.
1:17 So what if you picked one from an unknown movie? 10:09 - 10:15 Okay, I have to calm down for a bit after hearing that!! XD 11:47 Wait what? ( Goes back to demo) Amazing! 13:48 Note To self! Buy game this week! 23:36 Like an slow playing accordion? 41:35... Spooooooky! I have to go back into animation. I have to. I feel as if I been in pre production for far too long.
Not right now, I’m only doing private mentorships and course workshops at the moment, but you can jump on waiting lists with my site :) courses.sirwade.com
I didn't see you discuss this but don't you also want to get the person's permission before using their audio in a demo reel shot (for copyright reasons). Or does it not matter in things like portfolio or demo reels?
44:44 is talking about the original animated lion king movie VS the new 3D one. Perfect example of zero acting compared to acting to be appealing and sell a scene.
Which of my fun little lip sync transition-examples was your favorite? :D Did you catch them all??
Nah, I'm just going to comment before watching the video but I will get back to you on that.
^^
The Palpatine lip sync tests were very entertaining

6:45. I’m laughing so hard thank you for that gem 💎
This is RUclips gold for beginning character animators. I have books by traditional 2D animator Preston Blair about this kind of thing, but you learn so much more from a video.
O really? I always found the best way to learn animation was by listening to old wax cylinders from the 1800s on my phonograph.
@@reginaldforthright805 Bah! Humbug! The best way to learn animation is to sit in caves in the south of France and stare at the little horsie drawings.
I just think international animators have my eternal respect. To animate dialogue on a different lenguaje than yours it’s such an accomplishment 😮😮

Love how in depth this is, thanks for this!
This was amazing! When I saw the girl speak with the male voice, "I don't want that".... just cracked me up, didn't see that one coming.Thanks!😂
I really wish to be able to give more likes than one to this video. So much effort man very appreciated.
This viduo is treasure, never thought of this subject before, thank u so much, the moment at 5:55 was so fun and cool
for first time I want to animate mouth and this video is pure GOLD 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I got the idea for war never changes from seeing your power armour helmet at the start of the video LOL Seems like you actually bring it up
Gonna try animating dialogue for the first time. So this was very helpful!

this is some gold content on dialogue
About not choosing audio from movies or TV shows what if the charter was off-screen in the scene would that open up some options to be more creative?
In old times the rigs were very heavy so we animated the mouths first as they were independant from interaction for the most part, unlike eyes looking, or body moving, this also helped with overall timing
This will make a fine addition to my collection.
This video explains exactly how to make appealing lip sync. And the studios that make anime will continue to not do it.
Sir Wade can't wait to the time you do a whole tutorial for dialog animation
This video is both funny and informative. I'm now learning dialogue animation in Blender and this is a very good start.
do you suggest to capture the video of the voice actor's face while recording the audio, as a reference for animating mouth shape?
Thanks,there was alot of good information. One of the best videos in lipsynch.
Fantastic video! Just what I needed. Thank you :)
Is there a guide for poses which you can recommend? Where we can see the main sounds and use it as a starting point?
Thanks
Sir, Thank you for sharing such valuable techniques....love from India...❤️❤️
I'm sorry I cant pay for patreon right now but I really love what your doing sir! :)

this killed me oml
Man, Thank you this has cleared so much doubts within my head. As a beginner thanks.
thank you so much for this video it's fantastic and very explicative I really enjoy the details that you are mentioning. i will focus on them in my future works ^^
Wasn’t expecting it, but I did kind of laugh at the tongue thing. 😎 👅🤣
this is what i need , thanks so much
Awesome work
Lmao. I could watch you make these weird facial expressions all day Wade. Great video 😉
woww! these tips are so helpful, Thanks very much for putting it for free!
45:45 @CaRtOoNz got his voice featured 😃
The one with forty killed me.
I was eating when I saw that part of the video. I laughed and almost choked on my foods.

Thank you Wade, your videos are Soo helpful, really appreciate your effort!
Can you please make a video about weight. How to give a character weight in jump.

Great stuff, and the way you explain it's great as well! Thanks for spending time no explaining such important and useful tips
Fantastic.
YESSSS!!!!!! THIS IS SO HELPFUL!!!!!!!
Super insightful! nice job Sir :D !
Champion! Thanks for this
9:03 love that guy
Awesome video, Sir Wade! Well timed, too, because I'll be taking an animation test for a new gig soon, and this will certainly come in handy... :)
great deep dive!
Thank you sir 🙂
Hi sir, would request can you make one video on animating creature using bouncing ball...(the layout and blocking ) thankyou

I already made that video :)
High quality content
Hello sir wade! I - really liked your video :)
Have a nice week
could stop laughing 6:42 but omg 41:30 that old guy scared me. OO
I love that Palpatine💙 how much do you charge if someone was to ask you to make them a Starwars character to use for Blender?
SirWade this is good, Teacher👏🏽thank you so much….😀
Amazing vídeo Wade. Could you make a vídeo animating in unreal 5, with their New light system it seems a good option to do final work there
Hi, Is RTX 3080 good final 3D RENDERING using Autodesk Maya software
Very helpful video for lip sync 👌👌👌
Hey Sir Wade, what electronics would u suggest for animation. Any certain tablets or anything like that? Or just mouse and keyboard?
learned a lot. Thx a bunch
Can u tell me , how to create pressure , force , weight, in character animation
Awesome stuff
...very helpful advices thank you bro)
I simply wig it from off the head 🤨 pure imagination 💭 on high fi.
Now Im going to lip sync everything!
Thank you for this video
1:17 So what if you picked one from an unknown movie?
10:09 - 10:15 Okay, I have to calm down for a bit after hearing that!! XD
11:47 Wait what? ( Goes back to demo) Amazing!
13:48 Note To self! Buy game this week!
23:36 Like an slow playing accordion?
41:35... Spooooooky!
I have to go back into animation. I have to. I feel as if I been in pre production for far too long.
I really appreciate your channel!
Video is too long but it was worth it for the knowledge, advice and examples you gave.
Hallo Sir Wade, jst inquiring if weekly reviews are still in motion.....thank you
Not right now, I’m only doing private mentorships and course workshops at the moment, but you can jump on waiting lists with my site :) courses.sirwade.com
thanx a lot help a lot🙌
Really looking forward to the video in which you were going to compare 3070,3080,3080Ti,3090 for best fit for different workflows ❓❓❓
the wizard yensid scream was unexpected.
There is difference doing lip sync in another language? In spanish for example
dude, I feel like Im watching a paid course. Nice job.
Amazing!!!!!
how much time it took you to come to this level...
I didn't see you discuss this but don't you also want to get the person's permission before using their audio in a demo reel shot (for copyright reasons). Or does it not matter in things like portfolio or demo reels?
I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice, but I'd say educational use is generally pretty flexible!
Shoot Straight to the point, add tips inside the tutorial.
My brain is fried lol.
i really like the cute cartoon girl, she is so funny while talking
thanks for the video 💜 I only wonder about the teeth
9:02 this is a minecraft youtuber :D
🔥🔥
I 100% do layered for lip sync
i need help (( please tell maya is good for motion graphic and product design((.??????
wow
I think I'm gonna get nightmares tonight about tongues 38:05. 🤢 Nevertheless, great video Sir Wade! Thank you!! 🤝🙂
