This course will teach you how to animate a talking character. First we'll draw a mouth and all of it's components, and convert it to a symbol to prepare it for animation. The next step is setting up phonemes to allow you to keyframe the talking animation. Expressions and gestures are also covered to add dynamic expression to your talking character.
