How to Make a Cartoon Character Talk

Published on January 7, 2010 by   ·   361 Comments

In this lesson I show you how to make a cartoon character talk from beginning to end. This includes recording the voice, drawing the mouth poses and syncing that voice to an animated mouth. We even go a little deeper by exploring some facial expressions. This was once a premium tutorial for my website. This free version does not contain the sample files I talk about in the video.

  6. [..YouTube..] I’m kind of stuck right around the 11-minute mark. I can’t find the symbol tutorials he’s talking about (the only other symbol tut I can find from him is about placing symbols inside symbols.) My problem is that once I’ve selected all of the layers that make up my face and converted them into a symbol, once I double-click on that symbol, it still only gives me that one layer– the facial components are no longer in differentiated layers. Can anyone help?

  140. JEDinBED says:

    [..YouTube..] @sonicgen3000 Stop being a dickhead huh. There is absolutely no need for comments such as your juvenile rant. If you don’t like, or aren’t interested in something that someone has taken considerable time and effort to make to inform others, simply don’t watch it. IT’S THAT SIMPLE.

But, in scene 4 of my animation, I want to animate the same room and people from scene 2. So I copied everything on the stage from scene 2 and put it onto scene 4. When I was finished working with scene 4, I realised that the characters from scene 2 where doing the same mouth poses as the new ones I had just put in scene 4. Why is it doing that!?! If anyone would care to tell me pls do

  201. FuckItSnoopy says:

    [..YouTube..] His chin looks like a tumor.

  202. FuzeMax says:

    [..YouTube..] This tutorial is too long o.O 45 minutes.. Anyways nice tutorial :)

  203. FuzeMax says:

    [..YouTube..] @BMXnSTFF Lol no, this is flash 9 or 10 not sure xDAfter effects is just for video editing and adding special effects. It cant make animation like that as far as i’m concerned.

  204. BMXnSTFF says:

    [..YouTube..] is this after effects

  205. CalmBeatles says:

    [..YouTube..] @LilredheadComics I would call this an amazing tutorial video!I would not say he (You) have done anything wrong…That is exactly what he is telling you “Animotionarts”, there is some different methods & I really like this one. :) HallStudio

  206. F2E002 says:

    [..YouTube..] Where did you get this programme? Urgent! I need it for my project. Free version/Free download only please. Thanks !

  207. tititita8 says:

    [..YouTube..] @animotionarts Hey Mr Animationarts, People like you end up pretty much hating the world that surrounds you. Your commentssay everything about you. A lot of us find amazing insight into what Lilredheadcomics has to say. Your hatred and ugly view of this world only remains in your mind. Wake up.

  208. [..YouTube..] @animotionarts Just because I showed a different method doesn’t mean I am wrong. I would love to see your method but of course, like most people who complain or bash, you have none of your own work on YouTube to show. Just like how you hate it when people post different methods of doing a task, I hate it when so called “know-it-alls” boast about their own ability and rag on others. If you don’t like my method, that’s fine, just use your own. I never said this was the absolute only way.

  209. [..YouTube..] This guy has done everything wrong. Don’t listen to this tutorial. first of all when you do mouths you need to create the key mouth positions and then IB them. also.. make your mouth pose level a symbol first then create all your mouth positions in that level, as you need happy sad confused etc mouth designs… Anyway, I hate people that post crap like this. He doesn’t have real animation knowledge!

I really appreciate this, since I’m quite new to Adobe Flash and was having trouble with animation, as well. You’re a great teacher, everything was easy to understand, unlike most Flash tutorials out there who expect viewers to be awfully experienced with the program. Subscribed!

A lot of times I find myself moving every frame in the symbol to align how i want, but if somebody could tell me how to move the registration point (if that is possible) that would be great :) Sorry for bad english! And you are amazing :)
