The dope sheet didn't take long to do, although it was tricky at times because some words/movements were so close together. I picked the Star Wars audio because the audio was clear and it had different pauses that would be fun to try out. I feel like doing a much longer piece of audio would get very tedious though, especially with multiple characters talking and multiple dope sheets to fill in.
I am using Preston Blair's extended phoneme series as reference for the mouth movements.
Phoneme A I
Example sounds are: apple, day, hat, happy, rat, act, plait, dive, aisle.
Phoneme E
Example sounds are: egg, free, peach, dream, tree.
Phoneme O
Example sounds are: honk, hot, off, odd, fetlock, exotic, goat.
Phoneme U
Example sounds are: fund, universe, you runner, jump, fudge, treasure.
Phoneme C D G K N R S Y Z
Example sounds are: sit, expend, act, pig, sacked, bang, key, band, buzz, dig, sing.
Phoneme C D G J K N R S Y Z
Example sounds are: grouch, rod, zoo, kill, car, sheep, pun, dug, jaw, void, roach, lodge.
Phoneme F V
Example sounds are: forest, daft, life, fear, very, endeavour.
Phoneme Th
Example sounds are: the, that, then, they, this, brother.
Phoneme L
Example sounds are: election, alone, elicit, elm, leg, pull.
Phoneme M B P
For many M, B and P sounds, it's important that the phoneme shape should be reached before the M, B or the P sound is made, the sound is often only made as the pose breaks. Example words are: embark, bear, best, put, plan, imagine, mad, mine.
Phoneme W Q
Example sounds are: cower, quick, wish, skewer, how.
The rest shape
The rest shape is not a phoneme as such but a shape used during pauses between words and sentences.
