In this Blender tutorial, learn how to create realistic lip sync animations using the Pose Mode instead of traditional shape keys! We'll use Blender's built-in Lip Sync addon to animate not just the lips, but also the jaw, teeth, and tongue, bringing your character to life with natural-looking speech.
You'll learn how to:
✅ Set up the Lip Sync addon
✅ Create and save custom pose assets for each viseme (mouth shape)
✅ Use the Asset Browser and rig controls to animate facial expressions
✅ Sync your character’s mouth with any audio using the Bake Audio feature
This method works perfectly with fully rigged characters like Blender Studio’s Rain model (free download link below). Great for 3D animation, dialogue scenes, and character acting.
🎧 Works with any voice file or text-to-speech
🎭 Supports 25+ languages and phoneme models
🆓 No external tools needed – everything inside Blender!
