it is indeed very fluid, but it seems to be a bit out of sync, the phonemes seem to enunciate the the the words "just a bit after the are heard (IMHO)

BTW, a different voice would suit this character nicer .. (although this is just a test :p )
Gr8 job on the overall deformation of the eyes as it talks. i think this the most improtant part when animating lipsync, because in real life ppl do not stare at ur mouth, rather it is your facial expressions that help to dictate the words.

Great jobuser added image

Looks good, but I'm having a problem with the "nine hundred" and the "hmmm" at the end. His lips need to round out the R more in "hundred" and his mouth needs to close a bit sooner on the "hmm". other than that, looks mighty good. user added image

Looks nice! My biggest problems would be I think his head kinda moves too much. The corners of his mouth seem a little pinched. And his eyes don't seem to express too much. They stay pretty much at the same openness throughout, except, of course, when he blinks and toward the end.

Overall, nice job. user added image

I might be getting a bit nitpicky, but just telling you like I see it. user added image

I like the less movement, but right now, it looks kinda... hmm... "floaty" I suppose is a word. Perhaps look at yourself in the mirror when you say the line?

Other than that, I think some head emphasis on the word "you" in "when you reach" would be cool.

Looking good!

Ya might be a bit floaty but than again its just a head=) I added a bit up down to act like you chest dipping up and down as you would talk maybe make them a bit sharper movments. I'll play with the emphasis on the word "you" tomorrow.

Thanks bud
