Lip-Sync Mouth Chart
An animator's model sheet for an original toucan: six beak shapes for A, E, O, M, F and L pop onto a phoneme chart, then the bird sings "Fly me home, la la!" on twos while each panel lights on its key and a dope sheet's playhead runs under the dialogue, waveform and mouth track.

About this style
Lip sync charts go back to the Disney and Fleischer studios of the 1930s, where animators drew a fixed set of mouth shapes and timed them to the dialogue frame by frame on an exposure sheet, or dope sheet, after reading the soundtrack phonetically. Most studios still use a short set of key shapes, often six to ten, grouping sounds that look alike on the face, such as M, B and P. Animating on twos, holding each drawing for two frames at 24 fps, is a long-standing convention that keeps mouths readable without looking jittery.
