Lip / Mouth Movements Too Exaggerated

Bug Reports

I am noticing many of the mouth / lip motions are too exaggerated - body expressions also lacking emphasis, often breaking geometric alignment.

[Referring to one I tried in my own voice, with a photo of myself - my accent being UK British]

But in effective speaking vowels would be created internally, with the jaw simply springing open for these - while any mouth or lip movements reserved for consonants only.

A helpful resource in all aspects of vocalization: manual accompanying the Jeannie Deva Contemporary Vocalist Course (the word 'contemporary' here meaning "since the modern era discoveries in human anatomy")

    I think I have got clearer on defining the problem after trying a graphic ‘avatar’ of myself: kept making the mouth stretch to the sides (particularly on ‘ee' and ‘i’ vowels).

    The audio I used was of myself and in sermonic rhetoric.

    But for comparison, here's one of my talking in real life: https://youtu.be/L2S_lp1cdfs

    And an animated one, using your program - produced via picture in thumbnail of the above one, at 00:55: https://youtu.be/pppmoZ4CqR8

    … well actually, the same picture was used for the beginning - but got Chat GPT to reduce the lateral measurement, in order to compensate for exaggerated mouth movements !

    Shape of the mouth must also remain OVAL when jaw springs open for vowels (No spreading out to the sides) !

    A perhaps related feature suggestion, could be to allow the indication of emotional tone level [with text-to-speech option]; as well as indication / detection of narration STYLE (eg. formal, sermonic etc).
