It looks promising, but rather jerky and wobbling...

Perhaps you are using cubic splines for the movement? That can create
quite wobbling results, that are not always desired. I've had the best
success with linear splines for lip synching.

I created an extensive lip synch system include file back in 2002 which
give quite good control over the interpolation of the phonemes in a
rather flexible way. I only created some bicubic-patches mouth for it,
but it could be extended to work with other objects.

I did these two animations with it, that can be seen on this page:

(It's the two called "Lip Synch System" and "AL the Alien - Talking".)

Ah, I used that one too!

Nice one too. Hadn't seen that one before.
