Quote - Hope this question isn't too OT for this thread, but are there any tricks for animation (using MIMIC in Poser 5) a character singing words instead of just speaking them?  For example, should the words in the MIMIC text file be typed more phonetically to draw out the words action on the mouth?

What I have done using mimic is this:

Get the words to the song and put them in a text document. Then split the lyrics in to parts or verses.

Get head phones and a mike, make sure they are not a combo. Play the part of the song you want to record and sing into the mic (I always make sure wife is not around) and record a wave file.
Open the lyrics text and import them into mimic and open the the wav file you just created.

Mimic should now be able to make the file for poseablity.
