1. A computing device for generating a noise-producing entity, comprising:
- a module configured to read first data comprising one or more parameters associated with noise-producing orifice images of sequences of at least three concatenated phonemes which correspond to an input stimulus;
a module configured to read, based on the first data, corresponding second data comprising images of a noise-producing entity; and
a module configured to generate, using the second data, an animated sequence of the noise-producing entity tracking the input stimulus.

Abstract
A method for generating animated sequences of talking heads in text-to-speech applications wherein a processor samples a plurality of frames comprising image samples. The processor reads first data comprising one or more parameters associated with noise-producing orifice images of sequences of at least three concatenated phonemes which correspond to an input stimulus. The processor reads, based on the first data, second data comprising images of a noise-producing entity. The processor generates an animated sequence of the noise-producing entity.
